A profound talk on “ how we can know that we are filled with God ‘s love 

Love

 Dear All,

The talk opens with a grand expression of the master ( Parama hamsa yogananda) - "As I passed the stairway to the beach I stopped and turned on the electric stair lights to see if they were working but I could not see them for as I stood there , the great light of God suddenly came and made it impossible to distinguish lesser lights even the sun I could not see at all

Vividly, I understood that neither the sunlight nor the electric light is real , only true light is the light of God "

 Verse 92

बुद्धीन्द्रियाणि श्रवणं त्वगक्षि

घ्राणं च जिव्हा विषयावबोधनात् ।

वाक्पाणिपादा गुदमप्युपस्थः

कर्मेन्द्रियाणि प्रवणेन कर्मसु ॥ ९२ ॥

buddhīndriyāṇi śravaṇaṃ tvagakṣi

ghrāṇaṃ ca jivhā viṣayāvabodhanāt |

vākpāṇipādā gudamapyupasthaḥ

karmendriyāṇi pravaṇena karmasu || 92 ||

92. The ears, skin, eyes, nose and tongue are organs of knowledge, for they help us to cognise objects; the vocal organs, hands, legs, etc., are organs of action, owing to their tendency to work. 

Verse 93-94

निगद्यतेऽन्तःकरणं मनोधीः

अहंकृतिश्चित्तमिति स्ववृत्तिभिः ।

मनस्तु संकल्पविकल्पनादिभिः

बुद्धिः पदार्थाध्यवसायधर्मतः ॥ ९३ ॥

अत्राभिमानादहमित्यहंकृतिः ।

स्वार्थानुसन्धानगुणेन चित्तम् ॥ ९४ ॥

nigadyate'ntaḥkaraṇaṃ manodhīḥ

ahaṃkṛtiścittamiti svavṛttibhiḥ |

manastu saṃkalpavikalpanādibhiḥ

buddhiḥ padārthādhyavasāyadharmataḥ || 93 ||

atrābhimānādahamityahaṃkṛtiḥ |

svārthānusandhānaguṇena cittam || 94 ||

93-94. The inner organ (Antahkaraṇa) is called Manas, Buddhi, ego or Chitta, according to their respective functions: Manas, from its considering the pros and cons of a thing; Buddhi, from its property of determining the truth of objects; the ego, from its identification with this body as one’s own self; and Chitta, from its function of seeking for pleasurable objects.

Verse 91

Vivekachudamani- post 93

Dear Readers,

From verse 88 onwards, it would be audio talk on each verse posted in blog.

पञ्चीकृतेभ्यो भूतेभ्यः स्थूलेभ्यः पूर्वकर्मणा ।

समुत्पन्नमिदं स्थूलं भोगायतनमात्मनः

अवस्था जागरस्तस्य स्थूलार्थानुभवो यतः ॥ ८८ ॥

pañcīkṛtebhyo bhūtebhyaḥ sthūlebhyaḥ pūrvakarmaṇā |
samutpannamidaṃ sthūlaṃ bhogāyatanamātmanaḥ
avasthā jāgarastasya sthūlārthānubhavo yataḥ || 88 ||

88. The gross body is produced by one’s past actions out of the gross elements formed by the union of the subtle elements with each other, and is the medium of experience for the soul. That is its waking state in which it perceives gross objects.

Love

Vivekachudamani- Post 92

This gross body is most offensive as it is composed of skin , flesh ,  blood vessels. fat, marrow and bones and also it is ever filled with urine  and faecal matter. (87)

In order to create the necessary sense of detachment from and in order to wean the mind from all its infatuation with the body, Sankara brings the seeker's scientific attention to focus completely on the composition of his own physical body. 

Infatuation can arise only through hasty, immature observations but when the nature of the thing becomes fully evident through close scientific study, this infatuation must lift and right understanding dawn. For this purpose, the human physical body is fully dissected in its biological composition in this verse. 

The body is made up of unholy things which by themselves cannot endanger any fascination in a thoughtful man.  Sometimes, it happens that the container may be ugly, yet the  contents can enrich it. Even this is not the case for our physical  body, a filthy container containing nothing but gallons of filth. 

It is this filth packet that man hugs to himself, panting to experience  peace and happiness through it. When we realise the folly of  loving a thing which is so abominable, our endless attachment and  attraction for it will cease.

The body is so attractive and fine because it is nicely covered by a wonderful skin. If you want to know what this body is all-about, remove the skin and see within. 

Now it is so fine because, nicely closed by the skin; if you remove what it will be. Then you may worry; that I have to remove my skin; or what? 

You need not physically remove; even you mentally remove what all the things within; it is nothing but a bundle of all these things.

Suppose after reading the slōka, a person develops dvēṣa; then one needs to look at a  different description of the body in vedanta; if dvēṣam starts coming, then we should remind ourselves, body is a temple, annamaya kōśa is an external prakāra; manōmaya etc. or sūkṣma śarīra is an internal prakāra; hridyam is the garba griham; 

Hiranmaye pare kose virajam brahma niskalam; taj subram jyotisam jyotih; satyatma vido vidhuḥ 

Atma caitanyaṁ is installed in the physical body; therefore body is a temple; therefore never hate the body; therefore never neglect the body; take care of the body.

We are now left with contradictory ideas.  So, what do we do?? Should we develop hatred towards body or should be we get attached ?

Just use it as a means; but ready to lose it at any time. Use it as a means; discover Brahman and then drop it; drop your attachment to that; this is the idea. 

All these slokas must be very carefully understood. Nothing should be hated in life; and nothing you should be attached. This is the essence of the sastra; nothing is raga-worthy; nothing is dvesa- worthy. 

Look upon the world as the world, use it as long as it is available; and when it is going to go away; then also, do not be worried about that; what has come, will have to go. Body comes; body goes; wife comes; wife will go; husband comes; husband will go. 

This Asangah  is the idea conveyed here, with regard to the body also.

Love
