THE ESSENCE OF RIBHU GITAThe following verses constitute the teachings of Siva to Ribhu,who in turn transmits those teachings to his disciple Nidhaga Rishi.The treatise goes by the name Ribhu Gita.The sine qua non of Mukti is Siva's grace45. The bhavana* `I-am-Brahman-Self ' swiftly takes oneto mukti. As the continued reading of the texts generating thatbhavana, takes the aspirant unerringly to the goal, he shouldalways dwell on the written words dealing with the Brahman-Self. (Ch.24, v.27)46. The illusion that one is the body and that the world isthe basic reality has remained soaked over a long, long time,and cannot be got rid of by the casual reading and mereunderstanding of the truth. The basic illusion can be effacedonly by a long and unremitting practice of the bhavana that allthis is `I-am-Brahman-Self '. (Ch.24, v.28)* In verses 45 to 50 the word `bhavana' means (lit. feeling) the faith based

on the word of the teacher and the scriptures and in the unremitting

abidance in the belief thereof.
