 Srimad Bhagavadgeeta :
Chapter-2.( Samkyayogam)
Slokam-46.
Yavan-artthah   udapane   sarvvtah   samplutodake,
Tavan   sarvveshu   vedeshu   bhrapmanasya   vijanatah.

 ................................................................

Sarvvatah  samplutodake  =  ( When ) Water flooded all over,
Udapane  =  ( Well, Pond, Lake  ) The small water holes( sources),
Yavan-arttah  =  To what extent ( they  are ) useful? 
Vijanatah  bhrapmanasya  =  To brahma-Jnani,
Sarvveshu  Vedeshu  =  From all Vedas,
Tavan  ( arttah )  =  Useful to that extent only.

 ................................................................

A beautiful visual display  in the right context. Usually we depend upon wells, ponds, lakes etc, like sources  for our water requirement. Likewise the Sadhakas ( Spiritual-Practitioners ) depend upon the source of knowledge : the Vedas, and progress.

When flood water enters an area, it immerses all the water sources under it. Under such situation we never look for our previous water sources for our water requirements, because where ever you look water is every where.

Likewise those who have attained the Atmajnanam ( knowledge of Atma ), and experiencing 'Paripoornatha' (completeness/ full ), as far as such mahatmas are concerned they need not depend on Vedas. ( Here Vedas means karma kandam' of vedas. )The whole divine pleasures promised by karma-kandam, altogether never match the ( equal to ) the  bliss experienced by the Brahmajnani. 

Karma-kandam expresses the karma which provides the happiness from the activation of their desires, these karma helps to fulfill the desires. Thus experience joy, but the fruit rewarded by these karma is perishable and incomplete. Where as the Atma-Anubhudhi ( Bliss ) provides complete, full, permanent joy. Therefore Jnani never depends upon Vedic-karma.

Do not misunderstand that Maharishi Vyasa Bhagavan abuses Karma-kandam. The aim of the Rishi is to divert the mind of those fools who think the path as the Lakshyam (aim) that is, imagination of : "the vedic-karma promising Punya-lokam (holy land ) is the aim of the life". To bring up those fools into awareness is the aim of the Vyasa Maharishi.

Sadhaka if does the karma without the desire for rewards, he can purify his citta (thoughts), thereafter gains the skill to viveka-vicharam ( discriminatory power ). Then and there he can visualise the 'TRUTH'. How is it possible to a Brahmajnani ( Supreme seeker ), who has already received 'Atma-sashatkaram'and experiencing completeness ( Bliss ), show interest in the perishable and temporary joy resulting by Vedic-karma?


What Aim Vedas are pointing :  is  Pure-Jnanam ( Knowledge of Paramatma ( the Supreme ) and Jeevatma ( the self ), that itself is the Atma-svaroopam ( Infinite /THE SUPREME TRUTH). This Jeevatma which is under the limits, in order to gain eligibility depends on Vedas. When realises the truth that he ( Jeevatma ) is the part of Infinite Paramatma, soon his limitations are vanished. Now he has become strong enough to bless Vedas too.


In lower classes at school, children by heart maths tables and store in their memory. But same students after becoming graduates : is there any need to learn maths-table?

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-5. Part-5.( Last Part)

5: God is Our Eternal Friend-5. ( Last Part ) We are filled with doubts in our minds—we can prepare a dictionary of all our doubts—they are endless. Everywhere we have a suspicious attitude about the world, about things, about people, about ourselves, about the past, about the present, and about the future. These doubts cannot be dispelled until knowledge arises, and we know what knowledge means, an insight into which we have been given in the second chapter of the Gita. Knowledge is the knowledge of God ultimately, and as a result, knowledge of the nature of the world in its reality, as mentioned in the third chapter. This is true knowledge, and when we are awakened to this real knowledge, all doubts get dispelled. Then what happens? Atmavantam—we become truly possessed of the Self that we really are. We are people who have lost ourselves and are in pursuit of things outside. Yes, this is what has happened; we have grasped the world and lost our own selves, and we are

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavad gita : Ch-10. Part-3.

Chapter 10: The Imperishable Among All that is Perishable : Part-3. We are told in the Puranas that Narayana or Vishnu takes incarnations for the preservation of creation. Vishnu is regarded as yajna itself. It is the highest sacrifice—God sacrificing himself every moment of time for the sustenance of His creation. As adhiyajna He is the administrative power and the methodology of the working of the cosmos. All activity is comprehended under this yajna of the cosmos. Therefore God is present in all activity when it is considered as a passage to God, when it is regarded as a manifestation of God as rays emanating from the sun. Those wise souls who envisage God as adhibhuta, adhidaiva and adhiyajna, which means to say, who encounter God as a comprehensive Absolute and not merely existing only here or there, such devotees are true knowers. They can entertain or maintain this consciousness even at the time of passing from this world—they are not deprived of th

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-9. Part-8.

9: The Unity of the Lover and the Beloved : Part-8. The distressed souls seeking God are of one type. One who is baked in the fire of samsaram,who is tortured in this hell of earth, suffering through various sorrows, seeks riddance from the grief of the world by resort to God under the impression that God is like a parent—a father or a mother or a supreme saviour. The intention behind this devotion is redress—freedom from sorrow, the inability to bear suffering. This is the reason here behind the devotion to God. Whether this could be an adequate reason, anyone can contemplate independently for oneself. Can we love God merely because He is the only source of redemption from our sorrows? Do we want freedom from sorrow, or do we want God? That is a different question that will come up later on. Swami Krishnananda To be continued  ....
