Discussion with Guruji on Guru Poornima function at Avadutha Ashram
My
prayers to you “ guru is Brahman, guru is Vishnu, guru is Ishwara and you are
real Para Brahma I bow to you and salutation to you” please bless me with
knowledge.
Guruji:
Listen to me carefully, the entire world of the movable and immovable is
submerged in ocean of Atman; still people deluded by Maya do not know that.
Just a
man through thirsty, abandons cold water tries to quench this thirst in the waters
of mirage.
The sinner
out of confusion abandons the blissful atman and plunges in the great boundless
ocean of samsara.
Thinking
about the residence in the womb and then coming out of it and after being born
the dependence based on the ignorance, then fear from others, the father, the
elders and children and later separation from the relatives , sons and wife and
also DEATH.
1.
Can you please explain to me in detail for the benefit of the
people around assembled here?
Mother
,father,son,relatives and friends the wife etc and the desire to live there again
and again is always bondage(samasara) and understand decoupling is required to
attain Moksha or Nirvana.
Moksha is not about leaving
the body and attain rather it is simply
verdicts “Exit from Maya or Ignorance” and knowing the truth.
Buddha meditated for several years to attain Moksha or Nirvana still he was struggling to attain Moksha because beneath of his heart he had the utmost desire to attain it . Then later on he came to know that even desire or kama is the greatest obstacle to attain knowledge hence after some time he discards his desire to attain Moksha after that only he attains Nirvana. The essence is releasing yourself from all the desires is very essential to attain Nirvana.
The supreme power rises in
the sky of the consciousness which is the form of knowledge; it is to be
considered as it natural power just like heat for fire.
The power will not be
different from the possessor of the power the capacity to illuminate is the
supreme self.
When cloth is analyzed concludes that it is made from the thread similarly the living beings are created by supreme god alone.
The universe of gross form is assumed to be in centre just as the tree exists in the seed of the tree.
Santha Thukaram sings “
aadi beeja onde, aadi beeja was broken down in to smaller pieces and formed the
different plants”. Similarly even the self is one, though the bodies are many
so also though the entities are different in all of them the essence is one.
