Hari have read it many months back. Good book.
Aham Bhramasmi - is declared when a person no more needs the conduit called GOD in the search to realize the Truth.
The journey in search of the truth is from "many to one and from one to none" meaning - in the quest of self search your mind moves from many thoughts to one dominant and pertinent thougth, and finally at the very end of the journey, it's the ability to realize that from that one thought to NONE - no thought, is exactly when truth dawns on you. When this will happen is not in your hands, its existence’s reward for your efforts of holding on to that one thought. Existence makes you drop it in the end. And in that end, when you drop it you cease to exist and that’s when in your non-existance the state of truth reveals to you. In that realization, you know that the TRUTH is neither a destination to reach nor an entity to realize, but an experience of the source which resides in you and its connectivity to the omnipresent all pervading order.
Its then one declares AHAM BHRAMASMI.
The path chosen to reach this destinations are many and amongst them the 2 most popular paths are devotion and questioning.
Devotion is stated by learned of the past as Bhakthi Yoga, where you move your mind from its random thoughts to one dominant thought – devotion to a particular deity of your choice and pour your devotion to it day in and day out and in the end, existence enables you to drop the deity and surrender in devotion to the ORDER of the SOURCE.
The other popular but relatively less traversed path is – Gyana Yoga, where when questions the existence of everything and anything, with a dominant thought of realizing the truth. So the rational mind questions every explaination given, questions every proven theory and fills its knowledge base with its own realizations, more knowledge, more questioning, more answers more rational… till the very end, existence unfolds itself to this mind of rational thinking and in that unfolding the rational thinker dissolves and truth reveals.
Both are just paths seeking the same destination and I find in this discussion of SD, men who have chosen the path of Bhakthi Yoga debating with men who have chosen the paths of Gyana yoga. Hence the unwarranted fuid.
If you have chosen Bhakthi Yoga – drop your need to prove or defeat anyone in the process, instead dwell back into your chosen path of devotion and those who have chosen Gyana Yoga – this forum is one more attempt in your chosen journey.
If neither of the above applies to you – participate to choose a path for the future.
OM DAT SAT.
Note : Someone said Faith works. Yes it does, it works not because of the OBJECT of Faith, but because of the SUBJECT in Faith. Irrespective of the OBJECT of FAITH exist with the SUBJECT - it will surely work. It workd and it will...
