True Perspective of Advaita

[Guest guest]

dear friends

 

I am the knowledge, love and bliss

Vedas call Me Parabrahman

Knowledge, love and bliss concentrated

Multiplied by infinity is Myself.

 

My power is called Maya,

Which is inexplicable for you

I keep this secret of Maya with Me only

Otherwise, human beings will catch My hair

 

To keep the soul always at My feet

I do not disclose the secret of Maya

By this, the soul always surrenders to Me

Otherwise, he will claim himself as the Lord.

 

Through Maya only I created this world

I enjoy by seeing this everlasting cinema

For enjoyment I created ignorance

Which covers Me and I forget Myself

 

I am not sleeping and not caught by dream

I am dreaming in the day opening My eyes

The ignorance is at My will to stay or not

Unlike the ignorance of a night dreamer

 

My awareness is not your awareness

If it is so, when you weep I should weep

All should also weep at the same time

Your awareness is negligible part of Mine.

 

All the souls put together along with this world

Form a pinhead drop in Me, almost nil

I am the mightiest ocean of knowledge, love and bliss

Which are the characteristics of consciousness

 

Even all the souls weep together at a time

I cannot be touched, all those being negligible

Awareness of awareness is consciousness, no doubt

You are seeing only the qualitative similarity

 

Drop and ocean are qualitatively water, may be

Can the drop become the ocean by this equality?

Water is Brahman but ocean is Eswara

You are already Brahman but not Eswara

 

Sankara touched this qualitative aspect only

To attract Bhuddists who were atheists then,

He told “Oh drop! You are already water”

But the drop thought that is was ocean

 

Bhuddist was fooled like this by Sankara

He has to accept his existence and If He is Brahman

Qualitative realization was brought like this

That is the beginning stage, which should be so

 

Slowly when he analyzes the qualitative aspect

And goes into quantitative angle, truth is seen

He realizes that He is only water and not ocean

Then he surrenders to ocean to become devotee

 

Knowledge by analysis leads to devotion

Devotion needs the ocean to be present before eyes

For this purpose the ocean enters a human body drop

Through His power of Maya, called human incarnation.

 

“Anoraneeyan mahato maheeyan” Veda says so

This means that the ocean has entered the drop

In the same time it is ocean and also the drop

That is the human incarnation, which is God and man.

 

This human incarnation is called Parabrahman

Which is greater than Brahman, soul, and Eswara

Brahman is water, Eswara is ocean and drop is soul

All these are quite logical terms to grasp.

 

Parabrahman is greater than all these

The word “Para” means “greater” actually

It is greater than the drop, ocean and water

Since it is the ocean hiding in a drop by Maya

 

You can not face Eswara directly at any cost

By that force, you will disappear along with this world

You can face Parabrahman, which is the ocean

That speaks with you hidden in a drop like you

 

As the ocean is hidden in the drop by Maya

The ocean can enter you also by the same Maya

But the ocean independently can not hear you

The voice of the drop is no where in the voice of ocean

 

Therefore, approach Parabrahman and serve Him,

As a servant without aspiring anything from Him

If He wishes, you can get the samadhi

In which the Ocean enters you as a shadow.

 

Sankara never told that you are Eswara

He told that you are only Brahman

Awareness of a drop-like awareness is useless

Awareness of an ocean-like awareness is greatest

 

You can not achieve this samadhi by your effort

Your effort is not heard by the roaring ocean

The ocean comes down to hear you in this way

If you do not use this opportunity, you are lost

 

When the king comes to hear the public

Your are keeping silent staying in your home

When the king is busy in a battlefield

You go there and submit your complaint!

 

This is the state of Advita philosopher

He is the foolish disciple of Sankara

Egoism and jealousy cover his eyes

He can not see the ocean in a drop

 

But he, a drop, wants to contain the ocean

How can the ocean enter him who is a drop?

He discards the technique and the example

How can he become the example by the same technique?

 

Therefore, follow Satguru who is the ocean in a drop

If you follow another drop what is the use?

You are a rabbit and If you see the Lion

You will vanish on the spot with fear.

 

Therefore, the Lion came as a rabbit

Remember, the Lion is covered by the skin of rabbit

It is not at all a rabbit, it speaks “I am Lion”

You rabbit! Don’t imitate that rabbit like Lion.

 

Recognize and serve that rabbit like Lion with love

Because it looks like a rabbit, it is your friend only

There is no need of fear since the Lion is not exposed

It behaves like a rabbit in all its activities.

 

A human incarnation also behaves like a man

With all the qualities of nature only

This will generate love and nearness in your heart

For you to approach and love, this technique is adopted.

 

When your service that is the proof of your love is full

Then the Lion enters your body as a shadow for sometime

Through His Maya to give you His experience

The Lion can not enter you unless you die.

 

Death does not mean the physical death of the body

By which the egoism of the soul is not lost

Spiritual death is crossing ‘I’ for ever

‘I’ disappears only in the selfless service

 

The service should be to the drop containing the ocean

You can never approach that mightiest ocean directly

Therefore, the ocean and the drop is the only alternative

When ‘I’ is removed, ‘My’ also gets removed.

 

If ‘My’ is lost all the desires are lost

The desires are the branches of ‘My’

‘My’ is the trunk and ‘I’ is the root

Removal of trunk with branches is the spiritual death.

 

If you remove the root also along with the trunk

You have become just the inert skin of rabbit

The Lion can wear this shirt of rabbit skin

Of course, the Lion should also wish to accept that shirt

 

Therefore, your effort should not be only for spiritual death

You should also try to please the Lion always

The Lion can never enter the living rabbit

What is the use of this? You have become inert.

 

The letter ’I’ refers to Lord Datta.
