Dear All,
Once again, we shall focus on all the questions at the end of each theme / topic handled so far in this blog.
Author leaves you with these questions for couple of days, for any sincere reader to take in these questions and introspect on them.
Purpose is not to just glance through the questions. Purpose is to take in and contemplate on these questions.
As we say often during functions in Puttaparthi that "All roads lead to Parthi", all the questions summarized below point to / lead to / focus on ONE SINGLE ANSWER, ONE SINGLE EXPERIENCE OF GOD where, the answer has to give us what that GOD is and how that GODLY experience is!!!
So, the author leaves you for 2 to 3 days to take in these questions and wait for the answer!!!
Love.

Questions
|
Purpose of Human Birth
|
How and what is the divine experience that we attain??
|
How do we experience God without a name, form and without
attributes??
|
|
Karma
|
How is the divine experience/ the state of existence with no
karmas left as balance and we have transcended all actions/ all thoughts/ all
karmas?
|
Surrender
|
What is our state of existence in that absolute self
surrender??
|
How do we experience God/Divinity within and without, with no
thoughts, when we have merged into the ocean of Love that God's essence is!!!
|
|
MBCA
|
In the flow shown, 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).
|
|
However, 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???
|
|
Creation
|
“Upon retracing from the gross body and mind and senses as per
sankhya flow and reaching up to the state of Purusha” or “Upon retracing from
the drawings (our gross existence with body mind and intellect) and reaching
up to the state of Purusha which is explained as unmanifest Iswara
in the panchadasi learning”, What would be the actual experience of the
PURUSHA or the UNMANIFEST ISWARA or the PURUSHOTTAMA explained in Bhagwad
Gita???
|
How and what is this God realization???
|
|
What is that God who is realized as Purusha/ Purushottama/
Unmanifest Iswara??
|
|
Can that God, who is otherwise inexplicable, be explained
somehow???
|
|
Three Bodies
|
Is there anything, any existence which activates the three
bodies, which sustains the three bodies but still, it is beyond the
description off the three bodies????
|
Three States of Consciousness
|
In all the three states, on introspecting, we can observe
one common thing.
|
In the waking state, there is one factor which is
fetching us all the experience through our senses and intellect but that one
factor is above our senses and intellect. This can be said so because,
that factor is only using the senses and intellect to fetch your
experience. A king who uses the service of his ministers has to be obviously
above the state of his ministers. Thus, the single factor which
is using the ministers of its senses and intellect has to be
above the senses / intellect!!
|
|
In the dream state, again, that same single factor exists, which
retrieves our impressions and bananas and then through our intellect, is
fetching us the experience of what happened in the dream. Again, here
also, the same explanation applies. The king, that single factor,
using the vasanas / impressions and then the intellect, has to be above
all of them!!!
|
|
In the deep sleep, when neither senses are working, nor
our impressions or vasanas are working, still, That single factor
is definitely present, otherwise, without body, mind and intellect
working, who was present while the King had deep sleep, who
fetches the experience that “I had a deep sleep without
any experience” when the king wakes up on the next day??
|
|
Panchakoshas
|
“If the 5 koshas are like the 5 lampshades or the 5 layers,
then what is that which is the real Light which shines forth
in and through all the 5 lampshades or all the 5 koshas?”
|
Is Ananda Maya kosha the ultimate or there is any other
subtler source which actually makes one feel that “I AM IN BLISS”, like an
imaginary concluding scene explained in an earlier post when King Janaka
wakes up and experiences that he had a very deep sleep the previous
night.
|
|
If his body, mind, intellect were not active while he
was sleeping, then what was THAT which was witnessing his deep sleep which
prompts him on the next day and makes him say that he had deep sleep??
|
|
Introduction to Veda and vedanta (Posts on sadhana chatushthaya)
|
If Mumuksatva is all about intense craving for God
realization, WHAT is understood by the fired up mumukshu sadhaka as
GOD??
|
What is the God realization he is turning to??
|
|
What is the experience that the sadhaka aspires to attain upon
the fructification of his mumukshatva??
