Realised Master expresses and conveys only silence

 Realised Master expresses and conveys only silence,thru all words

 

silence is not dumbness, not to remain speechless

 

but let's explore a bit on what exactly Sri Dakshinamurti did to dispel all the doubts of the disciple ??

 

what exactly is his mouna vyakhya??

 

can any one learn that art and science and technique of mouna vyakhya??

 

and how ??

 

if ''Silence is the most eloquent language'' .------then what is the need of this blogging and dialogging, then we can be just silent no need of any book?

 

then

only white paper can reveal all the wisdom?

 

why audio / lectures, music, why a tongue at all,

and what is the need for a speech ,

then where is the need of ears

 

so deaf , dumb are the most elevated teachers?

because they are experiencing silence life long?"

 

"Still, let's know a little more on what exactly is silence?

 

since it is glorified as

 ''nishabdam paramam padam,

and nishabdam brahma uchyathe"

 

"Finally this answer silences me yes, chathurtham ,

 

turia is the state of silence,

rather the word silence is not a right word,

 

it is the state of least excited state of consciousness

it is ‘’shivam shantam advaitham, chathurtham manyante,,,,.......

 

and guru gives the experience of this thru initiation /instruction,

 

and this silence is what dakshinamurthi imparted to shishyas which cleared all doubts

 

and this

 "Silence vibrating is Creation

Silence flowing is Love

Silence shared is Friendship

Silence seen is Infinity

Silence heard is Adoration

Silence expressed is Beauty

Silence maintained is Strength

Silence omitted is Suffering

Silence allowed is Rest

Silence recorded is Scripture

Silence preserved is Our Tradition

Silence given is Initiating

Silence received is Joy

Silence perceived is Knowledge

Silence stabilized is Fulfillment

Silence alone is."~ Author Unknown ~"

 

"Beautiful, i am hearing the silence conveyed thru this,

 

wonderful, these words on silence are  as profound as silence ,

 

it is clear that silence is not —–not speaking… not being dumb -..

 

,it’s the grace,

Responsibility

 Responsibility

"To a person who is spiritually evolved, there is no question of taking responsibility, .

or evading or passing the buck ,even on to god, as he or she fully knows that all acts are done by God,

and since he has realized god, he knows that himself is that god and he or she.... is ... the doer, truly .. not just a vehicle for the divine.that exists some where unseen It is this teaching that Lord Krishna gave Ajruna on the battlefield, through the Bhagwad Geeta, that you are a non-doer, since you are doing in the state of nondoing, naishkarmyam, and hence you are fully responsible for what you do. , not krishna or some distant god,

This hold true for both the good and bad deeds that we do. We can never relinquish responsibility , since truly we are the god in the realized state so we must be utmost concerned on the results of our every action we should not ignore or be reckless on the consequences in the assumption that we are giving up doer-ship totally, god ' spirituality is not an escape route on the other hand, enlightened person grows to a level that he takes the responsibility for the smooth running of the whole universe one guru taught thishe in fact administered an oath for us all, it is we took an oath '' i am responsible for the whole universei am the matha pita bandhu sakha for the whole universe''his saying is ''if we take responsibility power comes to us''all spirituality is a training for living a totally responsible life , by realizing that one is himself is the god that is running the universe"

speaking tree –a rishi parishath?

speaking tree –a rishi parishath?

 

i 

 

cognized that every one is a rishi of some level, 

 

knowing an aspect of truth , partially, 

 

full truth known to highest level brahmarishi, who lives brahman.

my understanding of rishi includes, all beings which are conscious , though in ever small measure . 

 

thus all pranies are rishis

in the process of sharing cognitions among all rishis, the truth gets revealed in fuller and comprehensive manner.

so every one has a contribution to my knowing, 

 

so are all baba/yogi/godmen/guruand ordinary men

 

/ and animals/birds/insects.

so i thank every one with all respect ,keeping in mind their being a member of my infinite rishi parishath, the universe is, 

 

and revel in exchanging partial truths 

 

and getting back a fuller and fuller truth.

special thanks to reader , you a rishi, 

 

for sharing your point of view 

 

and my truth is enriched there by to that extent 

death why?……

 death why?……………… a tree lived for .3,500 years until it was burnt down

1 if deerghaayushya is possible, amruthathva also is possible as a corollary

jathasya maranam dhruvam …….need not be true always , can be defied
one need not die, death is not inevitable,

2 then how man dies??
man dies because, ”wages of sin is death ”
if sin not done, then death wont be

3 why / how sinning happens??
man sins due to ignorance

4 what is sin??
sin is to violate the swadharma, by own doing [ or others causing it, ] knowingly / unknowingly , manly due to not knowing how to be sinless, due to not knowing how to overcome the effect of sin, …paapa parihaara

5 why man remains ignorant??
he does not know the value of life,
so does not find ways and means to preserve/protect life of self and life of others
due to negligence, will fully or forcibly he yields to death

pradakshina is

 pradakshina is one of the ways to ”come back to home” to bring the out going awareness gradually to one’s nearness finally on to oneself to one’s own self , the enabling atma to reach paramathma inside

by gradually closing down the infinite ways/ options for awareness to go after and fritter away the energies/ time
1 man by entering into temple, he has come away from the market place of life-activities
2 distance is reduced, from miles to a few yards
3 straight travel is reduced to circular
4 direction is set ie dakshina , clock wise
5 number is set , 5 , or 11, or, or 21, or 108
so that mind is engaged in counting the number
6 speed is set, no hurry , no stopping, but uniform speed
7 vision ‘ eyes is not going out towards see any number of objects or scenes outside
8 attention is on the walk,
9 at each step, one is made to see the one’s mind thoughts, body moves,
10 variety is reduced, one circle is enough to know every thing on how the walk is, it is just routine, vairagya sets in
11 next circle, man is looking for some thing unknown, vairagya increases
11 each subsequent circle man is going away and away from samsara and becoming loner and loner
12 at the end of the set number of circles, what he found is ”nothing” …”all this is nothing ”..and now man is totally new , fresh in the mind, relaxed in the body, clear in thoughts, ready to jump into activity with superior wisdom , enhanced energy , as if got charged , the time spent in pradakshina is just in the company of himself, which is so precious, ..for one’s own discoveries
13 this is like writing rama koti, or nama smarana, chanting manthras …………..these are subtler processes , but pradakshina is a grosser process, , simple any ne can just do and get the taste of a different world, superior lokas , an opportunity to have just a peep even for a beginner

Familiarity

 Familiarity

There is a comfort in familiarity, an at home feeling, a feeling of security, a feeling of reaching home back,

In a song there is sthayee, anthara, sthayee is home , anthara is going out of home on some exploring mission, and then returning to sthayee, that is to home back
One gets some rest/ respite every time singer come back to shayee , the original home, origin,

also when we come back to shadjam, at the end of song, we feel good amount of relief, relaxation, exhilaration , as if we achieved a success

also in thaane, we again come back to sthayee, and start fresh thaane

though familiar an old song takes one into a dream of memories, ie a bit away from the ”shackles of the inescapable present situation of the present moment

here comes the relevance of /significance of repeating the most familiar , the same nama/ stothra of gods , instead of every time a new name and a new stothra 

..since one feels an identity of oneself with that god , hence a nice feel

So familiarity breeds tempt, it is charming

Which came first Veda or Vedanta?

 Which came first Veda or Vedanta?

Pranams Rishiji,
Yes, very close to the point.
The question can be asked, “Which came first Veda or Vedanta?” Majority of experts will say Veda came first and Vedanta came at the end because ‘antah’ means end. Some even say, once you know Vedanta, Vedas can be ignored and forgotten.
What the majority do not know is that the Vedic scientists, when they attained the end did not abandon the beginning. They realized that the end can only be achieved by starting at the beginning; hence they revisited the Vedas which incidentally were shruti or ‘heard’ information and could not be ignored. There had to be an element of truth in it. What was that?
Tomorrow’s homework 

Ridli sir, 

veda is knowledge
vedanta is the end of knowing process ie reaching a state of ”all knowing”

once this state is attained, one lives vedanta,
in this state , the single comprehensive folder containing all Vedas, ie all knowledge is owned by such an individual.

Such a rishi, with that ability gained, when he sees the world around, tries to understand the life, in that light and accesses that ‘’total knowledge folder’’ and opens the most relevant files suiting to his purpose, and comes out with the chunks of vedic richas, ie vedic truths, that is how Vedas are created

So Vedanta is the first step
Veda is the result

Where as Vedanta is total knowledge, veda is parts of / patial details of that total knowledge,

Since he knows total, so for him, nothing else need to be known , he finds no use for parts

so for him all vedas become superfluous.

go beyond

 

go beyond 

by rishi vasanth

Each expression ofscripyures like  gita is a hyper link to enormous wisdom

and can be accessed individually verse wise or as a sum / essence

 if one is having the connectivity to his inner self,

 all the essence of scripyures / gita opens from within , without the need of reading/listening of gita

without that inner connectivity , just reading literal meaning and interpretations will be superficial and incomplete”

First and foremost , earliest in life Shankracharya realized, experienced, stabilized in the transcendental pure consciousness, became yogastha, and hence was able to proclaim—-chidanda roopah, shivoham shivoham

and could give authentic bhashya of the gita , in the light of his own inner light ,

he validated the truth of gita by the strength of his experience of the self

was able to say”bhagavathgita kinchidhadheetha ……”

if he did not have the inner connectivity, he would not have done justice to such scriptures

scriptures reveal their essence, not thru just reading , but with the help of inner connectivity

so my emphasis is on gaining the inner connectivity first and foremost

if not nahi nahi rakshathi dukrun karani, just reading no help”

“Point must be noted by all spiritual explorers. that —–only a self realized master —–can provide the effective guidance,

and enables the aspirant to successfully gain the most essential self realization , in shortest time

Merely repeating scriptures will not lead to self realization

in fact , reading of any scripture is not a prerequisite ,

nor a means for self realization even under a pure devotee

self realization is ”going beyond ” every thing, including the scriptures,

as a result of self realization, one will gain the ability to access the inner scriptures , and starts expressing the same without prior reading , but his expression will tally those with scriptures

“Just reading no help

kindly see lord’s dictum

nistrai-gunyo bhavarjuna

quote

[Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Bhagavad-gita As It Is 2.45]

trai-gunya-vishaya vedanistrai-gunyo bhavarjuna

nirdvandvo nitya-sattva-stho niryoga-kshema atmavan

The Vedas deal mainly with the subject of the three modes of material nature. O Arjuna, become transcendental to these three modes.

Be free from all dualities and from all anxieties for gain and safety,

and be established in the self.

All material activities involve actions and reactions in the three modes of material nature. They are meant for fruitive results, which cause bondage in the material world. The Vedas deal mostly with fruitive activities to gradually elevate the general public from the field of sense gratification to a position on the transcendental plane. Arjuna, as a student and friend of Lord Krishna, is advised to raise himself—— to the transcendental ——”’

Unquote

hence, the need of going beyond the naama, roopa, mahima, guna, leela, gaathaa, gaana, vaadya, naatya,

if not one is held up in the bhava sagar, innocently even in the name of bhakthi, devotion

once the transcendental unmanifest essence is owned, one gets the access / command / familiarity to the essence of all scriptures , vedas, gita, without reading at all ,

more over his life will be validating the scriptural truth naturally , without the imposition of rules dos donts or surrender bhakthi , pooja,

he lives  ‘’yad yad karma karomi thath thath akhilam shambho thava aaraadhanam’’

 the message of gita is ”go beyond ” , become muktha,

do not hang on at any level, even as bhaktha to a duality of ”me and he”

rise to ”thath thvam asi ””
