Essence of Vedanta - Part 44

Sadhaka's State Expressed in Limited Words 

Thus continuing with nidhidhyasana daily, in the morning hours and then during many part of the day, the sadhaka could instantly align and merge with the absolute TRUTH and exist as PURE EXISTENCE (Sathyam) instantly and naturally.

In this state He could:-

• Not differentiate between good beings and bad beings
• Not differentiate between Man and woman, found and old.
• Not relate to any relations in the past
• Not recount any specific thing that happened in his past. This is explained by the truth that the memory bank or the chitta is empty, all actions are undertaken / propelled by pure intellect and once action is performed, the impact of the action does not get stored in the mind, in chitta.
• Not recall / think/ contemplate on any form of any God, including his Sadguru and God Sai with whose grace, he could reach to this state.
• Not relate to any of the wordings/ expressions/ Bhava contained in any bhajan while singing any bhajan in the centre.  This is so because, the differentiation between God and himself was gone and there was nothing but God, the pure existence that existed.  

• The above state of non differentiation between God with a form and the world is explained with a lucid example- Only when a fan is switched on and till the fan starts working in its full speed, one can make out the differentiate between the 3 blades of a fan and see the 3 blades distinctly. 
• Once the fan starts running in full speed, one can never see the 3 blades any more. One can only feel and experience the coolness caused due to the running of the blade. Similarly, in sadhana, only upto the penultimate stage, one can experience difference between God and Himself, God and the universe. 
• Once Realization dawns on a being, then all differentiation is gone and he can neither think about himself as ego, nor think of a God with form as different from him, nor recognize the world and its beings as separate from one SOURCE, the PURE CONSCIOUSNESS. 
• This resulted in his slow withdrawal from bhajan and bhajan singing, from teaching bhajans, from conducting practice , from attending centre and central functions, from holding on mike, singing to God ..., as , there was no more God, no more him, no more creation. There was just PURE EXISTENCE!!!
• At this state of existence one is all alone and one is all complete, exactly as explained in the creation theme posts through Vedic verses when it is said that " HE/ THAT WAS ALONE, WITHOUT ANY THING APART FROM IT".
• Love or compassion no more could be directed to / expressed to one and not to any one else. The natural state of existence was Love and therefore, any one who walked to him, talked to him could experience that pure love. To them, this human being existed, with a body, dressed up, with senses, showering love to them but in fact, in essence, he could never related himself with his own body or his physical personality. 
• An incident is explained so that any spiritual aspirant, existing in any part of the world may read, relate such a state of existence to his own state in his spiritual evolvement. The sadhaka is seated in front of his superior/ boss in his head office. The boss shouts at him for some reason. Leave alone getting affected by the shouting, the sadhaka, at the same time, instantly , was showering total love to that boss, saying without words " Hey, this is not your real state of existence. You are love as much as God is love. Hence, be love. Let your anger not affect your real state". Now, a sincere reader should rise far above the form of the one who is writing this and visualize the state which is expressed here!!!.
• At home front, all expectations from family was gone because, essentially, the one who was expecting all these years, all these decades , was gone. When the  sadhaka himself is no more able to relate to his physical state, then where are the family members and where are any expectations from them???? . 
• Peace had to prevail in family at last because, hitherto, 2 hearts, 2 ego were dashing against one another and there was sound. When one ego has died completely, when one had has stopped clashing, how can then be war?? How  there can be sound?? How there can be agitation?? For a war, 2 sides or atleast 2 human beings are required on either side. When one person is non existent, the other person can either realize that the other person has transcended  his ego or, the other person can think that he has won a walk through game as the other person has succumbed. In either of his thoughts, the one who has transcended ego has no concern!!!!. Think!!!!!
• So, in short, nothing in the world, good, best, bad, worse, worst thing that was happening around, ins work place,at home, in society etc.  could have any impact on him who had aligned and merged with the supreme. 
• The Dhina hitherto, had merged with the Nadhi and ultimately with the endless ocean, the God supreme. Post merger, the part that had merged , could never be withdrawn from the ocean!!!! The doll that was made of salt, had merged with the ocean that is salty, never to be withdrawn from the ocean to exist again as the salt doll!!
•  To the world who was close to him prior to his merger with supreme, he was no colorless, spice less, emotion less, taste less. nothing in him that existed before, could be witnessed by the world now, though apparently, he remained the same. So, the world left him as much as he had left the world long before!!!

He shall end this theme post tomorrow  with an outpour that emerged from the essence within, seated on a morning meditation on a Friday at a devotee's house!!!

Love.
