Essence of vedanta- Post 28

Dear All,

If we recollect, almost all the theme in the blog, posed almost the same question- “on How the God is explained in the Vedanta and how would be the state of existence of a jiva “ once:-

Ø  The Jiva’s PURPOSE OF HUMAN BIRTH is fulfilled,

Ø The Jiva reaches the last state/ step in SURRENDER- Atma nivedanam,

Ø  The jiva merges with God and his sanchita KARMA is over,

Ø  The Jiva, instead of remaining away from the pure screen, watching and getting affected by the drawings existing in the pue screen ( various jivas and their vasanas in this UNIVERSE AND ITS  CREATION), goes and merges in the pure screen,

Ø  The jiva exhausts balance of his sanskara stored in his chitta, transcends all Raga and Dvesha and uses only his supreme intellect in his antah karana- MANAS BUDDHI CHITTA AHANKARA (MBCA),

Ø  The jiva merges with the God/brahman as explained in UPANISHAD and who is the ESSENCE OF V EDANTA.

Let us address to the basic question with our learning on GOD/ THAT which is explained as SATYAM, JNANAM and ANANTAM, one by one, in the posts to follow, starting from today’s post.

SATYAM

1)    Primal, cause less cause       

GOD/ BRAHMAN

The Jagat or the creation is the effect of the creator who is GOD/BRAHMAN. While all things created have name and form, manifesting during a particular time, existing in a particular time , space and disappear at a particular time.

However, God being the primal cause of this creation from where all other effects are created, He himself does not have any previous cause of which HE is an effect and thus, He is never born, nor does he have a name and a form and thus, HE never ever dies.

JIVA, UPON REALIZING GOD

Exactly as defined above, the Jiva, upon realizing the God,  transcends mind, transcends all thoughts and his state after transcending mind and thoughts is exactly as A cause, which has no effect or in other words, that which never was an effect of any previous cause.

2)    Changeless, eternal

GOD/ BRAHMAN

Like the Bed that remain changeless in the changing ocean/ waves/ bubble that exist around, like the screen that  remains changeless amidast the changing , moving picture that is projected on the screen, God exists as changeless, motionless whereas, like the picture on the screen, the entire creation exists in Him.

JIVA, UPON REALIZING GOD

Exactly as explained above, a Jiva, upon realizing God, exists as changeless/ motionless within, even though like the picture that move on the screen, the world of objects exist around   such a jiva, his entire relations move around that Jiva, crying , laughing, acting whereas the Jiva who is released from the bondage of life , called Jivanmukhta, is unmoved by all the changing world around him, exactly as the God described above.

Let us  move on to the exisatence of God and the God realized jiva, in the context of JNANAM, in the next post.
