Hari om ! Last month we talked about Death being an inevitable truth of life, and also that the very awareness of this truth becomes an amazing teacher to help live a complete, holistic and righteous life. Lets continue our reflections on the subject and get some more deeper insights about death. Basically there are two kinds of deaths. One, permanently leaving our present body, but just to take up yet another one and continue our experiences elsewhere; and two, because of some deep fundamental realization we wake up to another dimension altogether wherein we realize ourself to be free of birth & beath. In the former, the limited individual, the Jiva - the seeker, desiring various experiences continues to exist; while in the latter all sense of limitations are discovered to be imaginary and thus all such erroneous perceptions drop, and thus there is no seeker at all. When there is no seeker, therefore the very duality of seeker and sought is also no more, and an infinite, non-dual & timeless truth is realized as our very Self. Here, in the true sense, there is the death of the Jiva, once for all. The former kind of death is by leaving this physical body, but the latter kind of death is as though 'seen' while in this body itself. The former kind of people are those who not only take the indiduality as the truth, but the ever changing world too is taken as truth. Every changing thing as though tells us that there was a time when I was not, and soon enough it will cease to exist, yet we continue to happily believe that all this will exist forever. The greatest spoilsport of their life is death, because it will take away all what they lived & worked for. They fear death, and interestingly all those who fear death can never life life fully. On the other hand there are some rare few, who do not start with this premise that the individuality and also the world as we see, is the truth. Their changing nature itself reveals that the changeless is apart from all this realm of flux. They question the very existence of individuality and go into its genesis. They go into the truth of how the thoughts arise from a thoughtless realm. This alone is the real secret of creation. The seeker and the sought are just fragmentations created by our thoughts. The individuality has no existence apart from our thoughts, and so also all our objects of likes & dislikes. They all are just thoughts. With thoughts alone comes the realm of time & space - with all its ramifications of our choking limitations, fragmented & ephemeral existence, endless seeking, birth & death etc. Once we realize all this to be the realm of thoughts, and also discover how these thoughts arise, we then can 'see' the permanent negation of thoughts. This negation of thoughts is the real death of Jiva, and the fellow will obviously be never born again, because in the first place he never was. This death alone is called as Moksha - freedom, liberation. Such awakening waits for all those who prefer to understand death rather than run away from it. For such people alone the human life is realized to be the greatest blessing, because here alone we can enquire & awake. Love & om.
Swami Atmananda
Atma Bodha - Shloka 43 Vedanta Section
Self Reveals when Ignorance is removed In the previous sloka the Acharya explained that the intense and consistent contemplation on the Jiva and Paramatma brings about awakening into the state of knowledge. This process of contemplation was explained by a metaphor of the churning of two wooden sticks to invoke fire in Vedic rituals. The fire of knowledge that arises in Nidhidhyasanam burns away our ignorance totally with certainty. Just as fire consumes all firewood so does knowledge destroy all delusions. Having explained thus, a question arises that does the awakening in the Real Self take place as soon as knowledge is brought about or after having gained complete knowlege? The following sloka illustrates how the Supreme manifests itself as soon as ignorance is swept away by knowledge.
43 Aruneneva bodhen poorva santamase hrite Tatah aavirbhavedaatma swayameva amshumaniva Aruneneva:Like Aruna, the charioteer of the Sun; bodhen: by knowledge; poorvam: at first; santamasehrite: when the dense darkness is dispelled; tatah: then; avirbhavet: will manifest; atma: the atman; swayameva: itself; amshumaniva: like the sun. The Lord of the early dawn (Aruna) himself has already looted away the thick darkness, when soon the sun rises. The Divine Consciousness of the Self rises when the right knowledge has already killed the darkness in the bosom. Aruneneva bodhen: The Acharya’s bouquet of flowery examples denoting the principles of Vedanta appears to contain one flower better than the other. In this sloka too the Acharya comes up with an amazing example to explain the dispelling of the darkness of ignorance and unveiling of an enlightening morn. In our day to day experience we see that after a dark night the dense darkness is first dispelled by dawn and then slowly we see the rising sun untill finally the complete revelation of the Sun takes place. Day light does not come about suddenly like a flash of a bulb, as if a button has been clicked and suddenly darkness is dispelled and lo and behold the sun appears, and it is day time. Slowly, first the dawn dispells the darkness and then the rising sun reveals itself. Just like the arrival of a V.I.P is first known by the arrival of his Pilots, the fleet of security personnel and then Vedanta Sandesh - June 2012
is seen the entry of the V.I.P in the scene, so too the actual rise of the sun is preceded by ‘Aruna’ the phase of ‘Dawn’ that lights up the sky and dispells the darkness even before the sun has actually risen. The sun is preceeded by a charioteer, just like the Pilots arrive before the arrival of a dignitary. Knowledge of the Scriptures is also similar to this. Just as before the view of the rising sun the darkness is already dispelled by the light of dawn, so too, before the self revelation of the Atman, the very knowledge of the scriptures dispells the darkness of ignorance. Poorvam santamase hrite: The Atman is not revealed in one particular moment like the flash of a bulb. Before the rise of the Sun of the Self-Knowledge the darkness of ignorance has already been destroyed.
In the process of gaining knowledge it is important to know that there are two phases of knowledge. One is Indirect knowledge and the other is Direct Knowledge. When one faithfully and sincerely studies at the Holy Feet of the Guru and grasps the kowledge intelligently and faithfully, it is the first phase of Indirect knowledge. This is a phase when one itellectually appreciates the knowledge and also slowly works to embibe the knowledge more clearly and make it one’s own direct experience. Secondly when having cleared all the doubts in the mind and when one sincerely and consistenly contemplates on the knowledge and practises it untill it becomes his very own nature, one glides into direct knowledge. Direct knowledge implies when finally even the thoughts of knowledge are not required. there is no effort made to retain the awareness of the real nature of the Self, but one revels in his very own self effortlessly. ‘I’ become ‘I’, eternal, self-revealing and blissful. When here the Acharya says that the darkess is destroyed even before the actual rising of the sun it implies that the darkness of ignorance too starts fading off by the very phase of indirect knowledge. All the dellusion and all the impurities born of dellusion, the sense of limitation and its consequential seeking is dissolved. One starts feeling the sense of liberation from the time one starts gaining the knowledge of the Scriptures. The individual Jiva who is bound by the shackles of limitations and by a sense of doership and enjoyership starts experiencing a sense of liberation by overcoming personal likes and dislikes, by expanding his vision from individuality to totality and from totality to oneness with Parmatma. Indirect knowledge already starts reflecting the nature of the Self as a Self contented blissful state of existence. Tatah aavirbhavedaatma: The Acharya explains that having gained the
knowledge of the Scriptures when one starts negating the Anatman then the Atman reveals itself by itself. This is a significant point one must understand that the Atman was always there even in the state of ignorance. It is not in opposition against ignorance. It is that light which reveals ignorance and knowledge both. It is knowledge which is in opposition to ignorance and therefore the gaining of knowledge negates ignorance. Hence, by gaining knowledge the Atman is not brought into existence, but that ignorance is destroyed due to which the the Atman is vieled by the impurities of the mind and the wrong understanding of the Self as a limited being. In the process of knowledge one negates this sense of individuality and its impurities and the Atman is thus revealed by itself, effortlessly. This state of effortless revelation is a state when even the thought that ‘I am Brahman’ is dropped. The role of the Scriptures is to bring about an awareness of the Self, but as long as the thought is also there it reflects a sense of division of a thinker and the thought. But the true revelation of the Atman is when even this division of the thinker and the thought is dropped and what remains is pure existence. This is the state one glides into, in the seat of meditation and this oneness is also thus reflected in the life of a person of knowledge. Swayamevaamshumaaniva: The Atman is Self-revealing. It does not need another light to reveal it. Once a person truly negates all projections of mind, the Anatma, then the SelfRevealing Atma is directly realized, it reveals itself by itself. The knowledge of the Scriptures is like dawn‘Aruna’ and the Self revelation of the Atman is like the rising of the Sun. In the Gita Bhagwan Krishna says “For those in whom this ignorance is destroyed by the knowledge of the Self that knowledge like Sun reveals the supreme”.

If you really Pay Attention When I was a little bitty kiddy, about five, my Dad began a process … anytime somebody came and said something to us, my dad would say, "You remember what he said, honey girl?” I would tell my father what the person said until I got so good at it that I could repeat verbatim even long presentations of what the person had said. And he did this all the time. Finally, one day there was this old gentleman, Richard Thompson. I still remember his name, he lived across the street. And every time my Dad started to mow the lawn, there came Mr. Thompson. And so I would stand out there. Dad says, “You might come and listen to this man, honey girl. He’s pretty interesting.” And so I listened to him, and then my dad would say, “What did you hear him say?” And I would tell him. Well, eventually I was repeating all the stories he liked to share with my dad verbatim. I knew them all by heart.And my Dad says, “You’re getting pretty good at that. But did you hear his heart?" And I thought, what? So I went around for days with my ear to people's chest trying to hear their hearts. Finally my Dad created another learning situation for me by asking my mother to read an article from the newspaper. He says “Well, I guess if you want to understand that article, you have to read between the lines."I thought, "Oh, read between the lines. Hear between the words." So the next time I listened to Mr. Thompson’s stories, I tried to listen between the words. My Dad said, “I know you know his story, but did you hear his heart?” And I said, "Yes. He is very lonely and comes and shares his memories with you again and again because he’s asking you to keep him company in his memories."It just came out of me. In other words, my heart echoed his heart. And when you can listen at that level, then you can hear not only the people. If you really pay attention, you can hear what the Universe is saying.
Vedanta Sandesh - June 2012
Letter of the Month
What is Meditation? Hari om ! Your question reveals that you need to first understand what Meditation is all about.
‘Meditation’ means to think deeply. You will be surprised that all thoughts are based on some imaginary & baseless notions, and when you really go deep into them, then they just drop. - Poojya Guruji
Meditation is neither mere observation of thoughts, nor has meditation to do anything with ‘controlling’ our thoughts. Thus there is no objective to somehow control or quieten our various thoughts. I don’t know what the book by Dr Carlson is all about, but we are certainly not talking about any such action, effort or objective. This is not Meditation. He is however right when he says that while the thoughts are there, one should just be ‘in them’, and later have a recap of the whole process. Anyways, this is not something new which has to be learnt, but is an already existing fact, which all of us already do. We first dream, desire, act or react with all our heart & soul, and then later, maybe with a cup of tea in our hands, rewind and replay the event in our mind. True meditation is something more subtle & fundamental. It is basically a process of deep & objective enquiry into our thoughts and also a sincere inquisitiveness to know the truth of the thinker. It is about some knowledge and not any action. Control is an action, and like any action it will never lead to anything permanent, but only suppression. Meditation starts with giving your mind complete freedom. Think whatever your mind considers worthy and important. Just let go. Let your mind celebrate its freedom & independence. No controls and no brakes. Now when the door of all dreams & desires have been opened, and your mind can truly open up and think of anything – with your heart & soul. Then, sit back and think about the direction and quality of your thoughts, very objectively, as a third person. Remember, we don’t have any desire to alter the content or direction of thoughts, but just to know the truth, as the things stand now. Thoughts are like effects of some cause, which is what we try to appreciate. Yes, there is a world of ‘premises’ behind all these thoughts. Meditation is about entering this world of premises and appreciating them clearly & objectively. Premises are our basic conclusions because of which we dream, desire or think. The very existence of our thoughts is because of some basic premises, deep in our unconscious mind. We call the level of thoughts as Manomaya Kosha, and the level of premises & conclusions as Vigyanamaya Kosha. Normally we keep on thinking & thinking, without being aware of the driving premises behind these thoughts. The very word ‘meditation’ means to think deeply, and not exercising any control etc. You will be surprised that all thoughts are based on some imaginary & baseless notions, and when you really go deep into them, then they just drop. So it is a fascinating & adventurous journey into the hitherto unknown recesses of your own mind. I wonder whether all this is clear to you or not, anyways as you are coming to the Camp shortly, we shall discuss this more thoroughly there. Luckily we shall be discussing this topic alone during the Camp – Drg-Dryshya Viveka. Its nice that thinking in that direction has already started. Love & om, Guruji Page # 7
Swadharma: No Cause For Grief Our basic God-sent Motivations
For all human beings action is inevitable. whether it is for the sake of survival, for looking after the body, for the family, for the society, for the country, whatever it is, act we all must. This inevitability of action intrinsically drives a person to persue a field of action. Although all of us generally participate in various actions all through the day, yet amidst all this there is always one predominant field of action towards which one is naturally pulled to, and which one takes up as his own predominant field of action. This intrinsic pull towards a field of action in todays Psychological language is known as one’s ‘Aptitude’. In the Gita Bhagwan Krishna uses a very pregnant term for a person’s aptitude and that is ‘Swadharma’. What is ‘Swadharma’? How is one’s Swadharma decided and what is the significance of performing actions as per one’s Swadharma, all this as explained in the Gita from the point of view of our worldly developments and from the point of view of our spiritual journey. This is the subject of our understanding in our following Gita Section. What is ‘Swadharma’? The word Swadharma refers both to the intrinsic nature of our mind(from its ‘inclination’ point of view) and also the Real nature of the Self. In this section we will focus on understanding Swadharma from the point of view of the inclination of the mind. At the level of the mind it refers to the deep rooted impressions on the mind due to our past actions or karmas. These past impressions are also known as one’s vasanas in the scriptural language. Our mental impressions help discern the Varna of every individual. This has been broadly classified into four types in the Hindu Scriptures as Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra, which in the modern times has come to be known as the ‘Caste System’. Unfortunately in today’s times this whole Varna sytem is brought to the mind as a very evil system reflecting social exploitation of the labour class. But the Great thinkers of yore who gave us this sytem have actually given us a psychologically perfect system for the division of labour. But as it often happens that systems are used and misused over a period of time. So too, due to lack of right understanding this universal classification of human inclinations has suffered a social stigma. The fundamental principle of practising one’s swadharma is intitiating a person in a particular work field as per his inclinations. This is discerning one’s Swadharma’. Swadharma brings out the Best. If the field of work is decided as per one’s inclination it brings out the best in every form, the action, the result and above all the attitude. One often sees that action becomes a burden, a field of anxiety, stress and fatigue. Why is this so? When we see a person who is very passionate about music, he practises music tirelessly for hours and hours, for years together, and still yearns for more. He is passionate about learning, about practising and when he performs in public one can see, it his love flowing out. There is no stress, no fatigue. this is because he is doing what he loves to do. When a person does what he loves to do the most, he enjoys his actions. His action is not a job
Vedanta Sandesh June 2012 VedantaSandesh Sandesh- --Mar April2012 2009 Vedanta
or work anymore it is an expression of his love. In that case even if he has to toil day & night, the sweating out alone gives him great pleasure. One of the biggest blessings of swadharma is that the person who loves his work and is enjoying it bears the fruits of joy while performing the very action. His sucess and happiness does not depend on the result of the action, but he has reaped his success of joy every moment of performing the action and as far as the results are concerned there is no doubt that when a person’s actins reflect passion, love, dedication, hard work, sucess will surely follow. Such a person need not follow success, but success would want to embrace this loving and dynamic person. Money, fame, success, all these things are a bonus for such people. Infact these people get paid for what they love to do. They excell and specialise in whatever they do. One thing a person must remember that being successful in your chosen work field does not always mean earning loads of money and fame. Success does not mean always becoming a celebrity in society. Being a housewife, a peon, a maid, a bank officer, or any job that is done with good intentions, dedication, love and apart from the self when also done for the welfare of others, is a success. Every person passionate and selfless in his work field is a hero by himself. Such people never suffer from the evils of unemployment. Such are the blessings of practising one’s swadharma. Swadharma is tuning one’s self to God: We as living beings are a part of the cosmic whole. The cosmos which is a divine creation of God. We cannot consider our existence independant of God’s existence. We as human beings or any living being exist as a creation of God. Hence a holistic life is one which is lived with this identity of being a part of the totality. Our inclinations, our aptitudes, our swadharma is the role that God has discerned for us to play. Recognizing one’s inclination is recognizing what God has made us for, and seeing one’s self as a part of God’s creation we then have an attitude of playing one’s role to the best of our ability and as a divine instrument of God. All our actions become a loving offering to that divinity because of whom we exist. And any divine action will surely bear the fruits if success in the material world too. But the mot important unseen fruit of this attitude is being able to perform actions lovingly as a divine instrument, enjoying one’s work, and no worries of the future result. Swadharma brings about purification of the mind for spiritual unfoldment: The performance of action as per one’s inclination brings about purity of the mind, thereby fascilitating spiritual unfoldment. Knowledge of the Self can only be brought about in a pure mind. A pure mind is a sattvik mind, a mind which is selfless, intelligent, sensitive, free of individual likes and dislikes and enthusiastic. A person with a pure mind alone comes to question his understanding of himself and life. He therefore comes to realise that the basic problem in life is the wrong understanding of the Self and the world. He then takes the initiative to not only enquire into the truth but such a mind set alone is ready to dive deep into the subtle knowledge of the Self. Actions performed on the basis of one’s inclination and love for one’s work brings about integration of the mind and the intellect and selflessness. A mindset devoid of any individual anxieties alone can sit at the Feet of the Master and enquire into the truth and awaken into one’s Real Swadharma(nature of one’s Real Self) as the absolute truth, pure consciousness and Bliss.

A Marvelous Answer A mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a car when he spotted the famous heart surgeon in his shop, who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager to come to take a look at his Car. The mechanic shouted across the garage,” Hello Doctor!! Please come over here for a minute.” The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked argumentatively, “So doctor, look at this. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind ‘em, put in new parts, and when I finish this will work as a new one... So how come you get the big money, when you and me is doing basically the same work? “ The doctor leaned over and whispered to the mechanic..... ... ... ... ... Doctor said : “ Try to do it when the Engine is RUNNING “

Stories by Sages
on p u e c n ... O e m i t a
King Sibi King Sibi was the son of Usinara a famous king of Chandravamsa (Lunar dynasty). He was renowned for his liberality and unselfishness and is said to have saved Agni (transformed into a dove) from Indra(transformed into a hawk) by offering his own flesh. It so happened that once to test the high character of Sibi, Indra assumed the form of a falcon and pursued the Lord of Fire (Agni) to take the form of a dove, to kill it. In dire distress, the dove approached the King and asked for refuge. Moved by intense compassion Sibi readily promised succour. The falcon that pursued the dove came to King Sibi and remonstrated with him that it was pursuing the dove, which was its natural food. The falcon demanded that the King should hand over the dove. But the king said that he had given promise to the dove to save its life and therefore he was unable to accede to this demand. Thereupon the falcon asked King Sibi to give up a portion of his flesh, to be equal in weight to that of the dove for satisfying its own hunger. King Sibi readily agreed to do so and began to cut a portion of his thigh and weighed it in the balance against the dove. But the weight of the dove was greater. Thereupon, the King proceeded to cut other portions of the flesh from his body and weighed them in the balance. Still, it was found that the dove was heavier in weight. Finally, the King placed himself in the pan offering the flesh of his whole body to the falcon. When this climax was reached, the falcon assumed its real form as Indra and praised the King for his heroic sacrifice for the sake of the dove and said: “Your fame will last so long as the world lasts.” The story of King Sibi is unique in many respects. Not only do we find illustrated therein the unbounded love which a person should entertain towards all beings including birds and beasts, but also the paramount duty of protecting even at the risk of one’s own life for anybody who seeks refuge. This duty relates even to the beings other than one’s own kind like the bird in the story.

Quotes You cannot stop troubles from coming towards you. But we need not offer them chairs to sit don Time and Smile are two crucial things in life. Sometimes Time makes us forget, to smile and sometimes a smile makes us forget time. There is no use of running fast when you are on the wrong road. First find the right way in life then proceed. Good things come to those who wait. Better things come to those who try. Best things come to those who believe in their efforts. Truth is like a surgery, It may hurt but it cures. Lie is like a pain killer . It gives relief at that time but has side effects later. A desire changes nothing. A Decision changes something but a determination changes everything. A Duck looks smooth and calm on top of the water but under that there is a restless snack. There is no Royal Road to success, but after sucess every road becomes royal.
