Chapter 12: The Entry of the Soul into the Supreme Being

Part-21.


That ending of desire is the immediate salvation of the soul.

This is what is known as sadyomukti or the entry of the soul into the Supreme Being at once, here itself.

There is no travel, no passage of the soul after death, and no reincarnation, nothing of this kind—no rebirth because the soul is immortal and is not conditioned by the process of the material evolution.

The power of the universe does not affect it any more, because its experience is not involved in space, time and causation.

There is no externalisation of the consciousness of the spirit; there is only a universalisation of it and not externalisation.

This attainment of the universality of spirit is known as sadyomukti or immediate salvation.

It is immediate because the Universal is present everywhere.

There is no need to travel to the Universal, because no concepts of space and time are there.

Even the concepts of space and time are involved in Universality, and are swallowed by it.

Those who have attuned themselves to the Universal, whose lives are in harmony with the requirements of the law of the Universal, are liberated here itself.

One need not wait for liberation after death.

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  ....

  ================================================================================= Saturday 04, Apr 2024 06:40. The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita:  Chapter 4: Stories from the Aranya Parva - 1. ================================================================================== The Aranya Parva of the Mahabharata is a very vast book. It is the largest book, next to the Shanti Parva, out of the eighteen books of the Mahabharata. All the stories, anecdotes, narrations, mythological descriptions – practically all which we may consider as popular religion – can be seen beautifully pictured in the Aranya Parva of the Mahabharata. It is one of the most interesting treatises, filled with stories of wondrous, miraculous occurrences and the possibilities, secrets, and profundities of creation. No human being will believe some of the things stated there. They will say that this is not possible, but everything is possible in this crea...
