Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
May He, whom the Śaivites worship as Śiva, the Vedāntins as Brahman, the Buddhists as Buddha, the followers of the Nyāya system of thought (experts in logic) as the Agent, those given to the Jaina doctrines of religion and philosophy as Arhat, the votaries of ritualism as Karma, may the Lord Hari, the protector of the three worlds, grant us fruition of all that we desire and need.
May the chidānandamaya (conscious being full of bliss), Guru arise wholesomely in the sky of my heart, as the sun destroying the darkness of ignorance.
Samadhi graces one with intense dispassion. One whose mind is firmly established in samādhi, attains unshakable knowledge of the Supreme Reality. Only such a one, who has realized the Self, attains freedom from the bondage of worldliness. One who has attained this freedom alone experiences eternal delight.
O’ learned one! Like the two wings in the case of a bird, so are dispassion and discrimination in the case of a seeker of Truth. Know this. In order to ascend to the top of the mansion of liberation, both dispassion and discrimination are required and not either one.
Saintly people, calm and magnanimus, live like the spring season, committed to the welfare of the world. Having crossed the dreadful sea of worldliness, they take others also across without any self-interest.
This habit, namely, relieving the stress and strain of the others, is characteristic of the high-souled (Mahātmās)! Does not the moon, by its cool and soothing rays, relieve the earth, scorched all day long by the exceedingly hot rays of the sun?
The qualities of a pure being are: placidity of mind, Self-experience, supreme peacefulness, contentment, delight and Self-abidance, by virtue of which the constant bliss emerging from the supreme Reality is attained.
Contented with the experience of constant bliss, he (the knower) is neither tormented nor elated by sensory interactions. He neither clings to them, nor he is averse to them. He always sports and delights in his own Self.
Contented with the experience of constant bliss, he (the knower) is neither tormented nor elated by sensory interactions. He neither clings to them, nor he is averse to them. He always sports and delights in his own Self.
Which wise man having had the experience of the Supreme Bliss would discard that and indulge in trifling delights ? When the exhilarating moon is shining, who would wish to look at a painted picture of the moon?
Sometimes like a fool, sometimes a learned, sometimes with regal magnificence and splendour, sometimes like a mad person, sometimes wearing a pleasant and benign expression; sometimes behaving like a motionless python, sometimes honoured, sometimes condemned and ridiculed, sometimes unknown to anybody – thus lives the man of realization, ever happy with Supreme Bliss.
He who is well-versed in scriptures, who is taint-less and pure, who is free from desires, who is a Knower of Brahman of the highest order, who has withdrawn into the Supreme, who is peaceful like fire that is devoid of fuel, who is an ocean of mercy that needs no cause for its expression, and he who is a friend to those good people who surrender to him.
Worshiping such a Guru with devotion, and when that Guru is pleased with one’s surrender, humility and service, approaching him, one should ask about all that is to be known.
There sun shines not, nor do moon and stars, nor lightning, how then can this fire? By That shining alone all become manifest. By Its brilliance all this shines.
Maheśvara is the Supreme Lord who transcends the svara (Om), which is declared in the beginning of the Vedas, and is well established in Vedanta (Upanishads), and is dissolved in the prakṛti (the primal cause).
As the flowing rivers merge into the sea abandoning individual names and forms so does the realised Knower, freed from name and form, reach the supreme self-effulgent (divyam) Purusha that is transcendental (beyond the highest).
Rama! renounce the cognizance of the knowable objects, and depend on the abstract knowledge of all things in thy subjective consciousness; remain firm in full possession of thy inner soul, and think thyself as no actor of thy acts. Then forsaking all inventions of men as falsehoods (kalana and kalpana), shine with the effulgence of thy spiritual light.
I have no duty to perform here, but live while I have to live free from all cares. I do my acts always with as tranquil a mind as it were in a state of sleep; I do my works with the body; but I do nothing here with my soul.
