The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-11. Part-14.

Chapter 11: God Present Within Us :

Part-14.


But in spite of this continuity and a procession which forms the empirical personality of the individual, there is a basic indivisibility.

That essential content is the adhyatma—atman as it is usually called.

Sometimes it is known as the kutastachaitanya in Vedantic language.

The innermost essence and the basic rock bottom of the individual is adhyatma, and it is inseparable from the imperishable Brahman.

The atman is Brahman; kutasta is the same as the Absolute.

Just as the root of the wave in the ocean is the ocean itself, the root of personality, the Overself, the kutastachaitanya, is Brahman, the Imperishable.



"Aksaram brahma paramam svabhavo ‘dhytmam ucyate, bhuta-bhavodbhava-karo visargah karma-samjnitah" :

All activity which forms part of the field of adhiyajna is called karma in a cosmical sense.

There is only one activity ultimately, and that is the movement of the cosmos towards its ultimate end.

The purpose of the universe is the impulse behind activity, and therefore there can be only one action anywhere and not many actions, such as my action or your action.

All actions, the so-called activities of individuals, are facets of cosmic activity.

This is the supreme yajna and is called adhiyajna—the transcendent purpose behind all activities.
