Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord The true goal of human life is to visualize the Supreme Absolute and merge in it. The ancients have declared that there are three stages in the path towards the goal: Karma Jignaasa, Dharma Jignaasa and Brahman Jignaasa (seeking spiritual knowledge through activity, virtue and Divinity). These three steps have been demarcated, described and analyzed by scholars for centuries. Through karma (activity) one becomes a moral individual, and one starts seeking the basis of morality, God. One discovers that virtue and morality add to one's bliss and that all bliss everywhere flows from the Absolute itself. One realizes that activity devoid of awareness is barren. The highest wisdom is the awareness of the Unity, the One which is all this. In fact, there is no two, there is only One Eternal Absolute. You realize this when you are in deep sleep, when all thoughts, feelings, emotion, passion, attachment and knowledge cease; only the I remains and the happiness of being only the I. But the bliss is not known at the time of sleep! It is only after waking up that you declare "I enjoyed a good sleep." If you were only aware of the bliss, sleep will be samaadhi, for it is Bliss unalloyed. So, also, in the waking stage, you have knowledge, but no bliss. If you can experience the knowledge of the waking stage and the bliss of the sleeping stage, both at the same time and to the full, that is Moksha. That is true liberation. Then you have Consciousness, Knowledge and Bliss unalloyed; you are Sat-Chit-Ananda itself, pure and simple. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. XIV, P. 181-182.
