Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Om Namah Sivaya For a Jnani who has realised the identity of his Inner Being with the Infinite Brahman, there is no rebirth, no migration, not even liberation; for he is already liberated. He has firmly established in an experience of the absolute Existence, Knowledge, Bliss, the Satchidananda Atman. The continued existence of the world and of his own body appears to the Jnani, only as an illusion, the appearance of which he cannot remove, but which cannot further deceive him, till the time when, after the decease of the body, he wanders not forth, but remains where he is and what he is and eternally was, the first Principle of all beings and things, the original, eternal, pure, free Brahman. While living and even when the body falls dead, the Jnani rests in his own essential Nature, his own Svarupa that is all-full, all-pure, timeless Consciousness and Bliss. The following assertions made by a Jnani constitute his own deepest convictions and experience. I am Infinite, imperishable, self-luminous, self-existent. I am beginningless, endless, decayless, birthless, deathless. Never was I born. I am ever free, perfect, independent; I alone am; I pervade the entire universe; I am all-permeating and inter-penetrating; I am Supreme Peace and Freedom Absolute. A Jnani lives for ever; he has attained life everlasting. Cravings torture him not; sins stain him not; birth and death touch him not; he is free from all cravings and longings; he ever rests in his own Satchidananda Svarupa. He sees the one Infinite Self in all, and all in the Infinite Self which is his being; he remains for ever as the Infinite Self of Consciousness and Delight. ----Sri Swami Sivananda Sivaya Namah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 The following is surely the experience of the universe as science tell us to be- the unmoving sun and the star world. The earth itself is a tiny peck in the universe what to speak of the tinier body built by the earth with its varius time cycles induced as the various yoga chakras within the body. No wonder Gayatri mantra teaches us to project ourselves as the absolute Sun- 'Tat savitur varenium' owning ourselves as the 'Sun' at the center of the unmoving cosmos. <A Jnani lives for ever; he has attained life everlasting. Cravings torture him not; sins stain him not; birth and death touch him not; he is free from all cravings and longings; he ever rests in his own Satchidananda Svarupa. He sees the one Infinite Self in all, and all in the Infinite Self which is his being; he remains for ever as the Infinite Self of Consciousness and Delight. > , Selvaratnam Selvakumar <selvauk wrote: > > > > > > Om Namah Sivaya > > > > For a Jnani who has realised the identity of his Inner Being with the Infinite Brahman, there is no rebirth, no migration, not even liberation; for he is already liberated.
