Essence of Vedanta - Part 11

Dear All,


Now, we move on to the essence of the theme MBCA or Manas, Buddhi, Chitta, Ahankara.

The first flow  given below captures how a human being forgets his divine nature and then starts acting in the world with his 5 kleshas- Avidya, Asmita, Raga, Dvesha and Abhnivesha ( all of them have been explained in great detail in MBCA posts, these are 5 egos or 5 colorings on our divine identity)




The second flow given below  explains how actions undertaken by a human being with 1 or more of the Ego/Kleshas/ colorings leaves an impressions in his memory bank called chitta once the action is completed and then the flow gives the process of manifestation of such impressions into future actions, again colored by one or more of the 5 ego /colorings. 






Man, endowed with guidance from a qualified Guru, starts taking up spiritual sadhana with intense conviction and strength, is able to reverse the flow and attain God realization in the path of devotion or in the path of Wisdom, as under:



All the above were taken up in the MBCA posts. 

Now, as we left with the last question in the previous post on the 3 theme flows- Purpose of Birth, Karma and Surrender themes, a similar question is put up with respect to the MBCA theme and specially with respect to the last flow shown above.

In the flow shown above, the final culmination is shown as "Purpose of life, God realization, is fulfilled". That is the final culmination of the all the efforts taken up in one's spiritual sadhana,  with unshakable conviction (mumukshatva).

How ever, when it is said, God realization, What is it exactly all about?? Which God is realized?? Where??? And what is the experience, if there is any experience at all, upon realizing the God?? How any realized master, upon God realization, can possibly explain THE GOD that has been realized by the master???

As said before, we will consolidate all our final questions on all the theme revision in the few posts which commenced 2 days before , and then try and answer to all those questions which would be directing us towards ONE ANSWER, ONE TRUTH, ONE ESSENCE!!!

Hari Aum Tatsat.
