==============================================================

Slogam - 56: The Infinite, Eternal and Non-Dual Reality

Tiryak oordhvam adhah poornam; = That which pervades all the quarters, above and below; which is Existence

sac-chid-aanandam advayam; = Consciousness-Bliss Absolute, and Non-dual;

anantam nityam ekam yat; = which is Infinite, Eternal, the One alone;

tat brahma iti avadhaarayet. = realize That to be Brahman.

================================================================

Nothing said in these last 15 slogas is new. It is sheer poetical brilliance. The author

is simply putting on the icing to the cake he has baked so meticulously in the earlier part of

the book. Well, we are being invited to the party as well, to enjoy the spectacular

experience of the Self, given by one who was himself firmly established in that state.

Acharyaji made one point which is relevant at this stage, although not directly stated

in the verse, but implied in the description of “one, eternal and non-dual”. This oneness is

hard to grasp by students of Vedanta. And so it justifies the pains that Acharyaji took to

make the following point:

Beyond Life, Mind and Brain:

How do we grasp intellectually this idea of oneness of Brahman

We start with the grossest of the above three factors which are part of the evolution

in nature. The brain is the grossest. We are usually trained to think that if the brain is not

functioning, there is no mind, and certainly no life. That was questioned by Acharyaji.

It is well-known that certain creatures go into a state of extended hibernation,

sometimes through actually freezing themselves. In this state, all physical signs of life are

withdrawn. There is no circulation, no breathing, no movement whatsoever. It is a state that

might be equated to death. However, when the time is over, the life returns to that body as

before. It proves that the mind existed even when the brain was no longer functioning.

The valuable conclusion here is that mind exists independently of the brain. It may

use the brain for its functioning but it is independent of it. The mind exists entirely in the

subtle body, while the brain exists in the gross body. They are two different levels of

manifestation.

Then there is the third factor – Life. Our existence is proven by the life that manifests

through us. But we know that only through our mind. The mind is the instrument for this

knowledge. Just as the mind is seen to exist when the brain is not functioning, we can also

posit that life still exists when the mind is withdrawn. The proof of that is deep sleep when

there is no mind, but life is ongoing. The Pranas are still functioning without the mind. So

the independence ascribed to the mind in relation to the brain, may also be granted to life

in relation to the mind.

An important conclusion can be made from the above analysis: Life is something

that exists all the time. We cannot limit it only to the existence of this body. What is the

implication of this? – It sets the stage for establishing the Theory of Reincarnation.

The Theory of Reincarnation

We know that even though the physical body may drop, the Mind does not. It goes

to its subtle realm, with all the impressions and tendencies familiar to it. The subtle realm of

the mind is the Sattwic portion of the Tanmatras or subtle elements.

In the same way, Life also continues after death in its own subtle realm different

from that of the mind. The subtle realm of Life or the Pranas is the Rajasic portion of the

Tanmatras or subtle elements.

When conditions ripen, the Mind and Life come together again to manifest in

another Birth, to continue the evolutionary journey from where it left off.

1-2

The relevance of this discussion is that it explains how the Jnani identifies himself

with the all pervading, one and eternal Self. The Jnani does not see life and mind as being

dependent on the existence of the body. There is a transcendence of this mortal structure

which permits him to behold the bigger picture unavailable to ordinary beings.

Acharyaji’s point is that Mind creates the delusion of something being alive or dead.

Beyond the mind there is a Consciousness which is self-aware as Bliss and Knowledge.

Thus, through reason, we have arrived at the amazing conclusion that both Mind and

Life are not restrained by the boundaries of the physical body, nor dependent on it for their

existence. This is the understanding which we should have when we talk of the Self being

“one, eternal and non-dual.”

2. Duty: Our first and foremost duty is to God and to Righteousness. Leading a righteous life is the best and most valuable service of our Nation.

Let us be compassionate towards all creatures. Thus, be a true Indian. Try to become an embodiment of kindness compassion and goodness in your everyday life.

13. Ecology: Man, and Nature are inseparable. Man, and his natural environment are inter-related and mutually interdependent. Everything in Nature contributes to our protection and nourishment. Let us, therefore, protect our natural environment. Helping in maintaining the ecological balance is our duty. It is indispensable for our safe living and highest welfare. Polluting of public places and polluting of air and water of the country is a national crime. We must make amends of our past lapses.

14. Unity: The more united the people of a country, the greater is their ability to withstand all obstacles and dangers. United we stand, divided we fall. This is particularly true about today’s India. Therefore, let us live in close harmony and loving goodwill with all our countrymen. Love of our country means love of our countrymen. This is the most invaluable service a Citizen of India, can offer to our Motherland.

15. Education: The process of education should incorporate within it the imparting of the basic knowledge of India’s great culture, its lofty ideals and noble values and principles of living.

================================================================

NOTE:

1. POLITICIANS (THOSE IGNORANT AND DEMONIC NATURED) ARE NOT THE AUTHORITY TO OPEN THEIR UGLY FOUL MOUTH AND UTTER NONSENSE UPON SANATHANA DHARMAM.

2. THE NONSENSE COMMENDY ALLIANCE ARE NOT THE AUTHORITY ON SANATHA DHARAMAM.

3. DK, DMK. AIADMKA AND ALL NONSENSE POLITICIANS BEWARE YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY WASHED OUT SOON.

4. COMMUNISTS AND CONGRESS ARE THE ENEMY TO MANKIND DESTROY THEM.

5.ALL SANATHANA DHARAMAM FOLLOWERS (WHICH EVER YOUR POLITICAL INTEREST BE: YOUR POLITICAL MINDSET) TAKE An OATH THAT YOU STAND AGAINST ALL EVIL MINDSET AGAINST SANATHANA DHARMAM!!!

===============================================================

######6. CRUSH THE ANTI NATIONAL ELEMENTS SUCH AS CONGRESS, COMMUNISTS, LEFT LIBERALS, URBAN NAXALS, TAMILNADU REGIONAL ANTI NATIONAL CUM ANTI SOCIAL POLITICAL PARTIES (DK, DMK, AIADMK, ALL SILLY SELF-APPOINTED CASTE GROUPS), NEVER ALLOW THESE BUGGERS RAISE THER VOICE/HEADS. CRUSH THEM UNDER YOUR FEET.

#######7. THE PRESENT CASTE SYSTEM IS MAN MADE ( NEHRUVIAN ERA IDEA OF DIVIDING HINDUS INTO COUNTLESS MANY HEADDINGS AND HOLD THEM FOR FREE BENEFITS SO THAT COLONIAL DIVIDE AND RULE POLICY SINCE INDEPENDENCE, TILL NOW ) WONDER STILL THEY ARE KEPT AWAY FROM HINDUISM ) THIS IS NOT RELATED TO DHARMA" POLITICIANS ARE IDIOTS WHO TALK NONSENSE WITHOUT KNOWING THE SUBSTANCE, REGARDING VARNA: IT IS ABOUT GUNA AND PROFESSION RELATED, DIRTY POLITICANS TWISTS KNOWINGLY, BURN THESE WEEDS FROM THE SOCIETY URGENT NEED OF THE PRESENT.

#########9 "Udhayanidhi’s rant comparing Hindus with malarial mosquitoes and Covid virus could have easily gone without the kind of outrage we are seeing today. Such Hindu-hate has been normalised in Tamil Nadu, a state which has seen some of the greatest Hindu kingdoms like the Cholas, Pallavas and Parantakas."

##########10 "But the massive outpouring of public anger on media and social media perhaps points to a silent change afoot in Tamil Nadu. A revival of Sanatan Dharma and politics around it is slowly taking shape under BJP’s young leader K Annamalai. Santana Dharma has been in Tamil Nadu for as long as it existed in the rest of India, tracing back to the Vedic times. It is not possible to keep that fountainhead of Sanatan Dharma muted forever with the rock of Dravidianism….”
