Ramana Gita [Translation and Commentary by AR Natarajan]

Chapter 14 `Jivan Mukti'

 

V16

Some wise men say that Kailasa is the world of the liberated, others

Vaikunta, and yet others the region of the Sun.

 

Commentary

Worshippers of Siva regard Siva's world Kailasa as the abode of the

liberated. Similarly, worshippers of Vishnu regard His region

Vaikunta as the place of the liberated. Others regard the solar

sphere as the habitation of the liberated.

 

V17

Like the earth and other planets these worlds of the liberated are

also projections on the Self caused by its marvellous power.

 

Commentary

Ramana brings the questioner back to essentials. While replying to

Kapali he had earlier made it clear that the world regarded as the

sport of power is only the idea of God, the creator.* Similar too

are these worlds, said to be the home of the liberated. Whatever may

be the world in which the liberated one is, he is not taken in by

the play of power. He has transcended conceptualisation, and having

merged his life force in the Self he is ever revelling in Truth.

[ibid-Ch12 v35]
