āchāryavān puruṣo veda Part- 2 - The road to liberation Part -2

 





To be born as human is a boon

To realize that is like a blue moon 

The forest is nothing but the body

And Karmā represents some body


Made with skin and flesh

Nourished with blood and lymph

Strengthened by bones and marrow

Not knowing reality brings the sorrow


There are multiple desires erupt constantly

There are multiple paths emerge instantly

Mokṣa is one of the desire that emerge

In the middle of thousands to splurge


That desire to be free becomes prominent

Moving away all the other to be subdominant

It is because of pure grace

Which helps you win the race


In the crowded airport the sign board appears

The Guru with the Mokṣa board removes fears 

The blindfold of wrong priorities is sheared 

The samsārā forest is instantly cleared 


The knowledge happens then and there

The freedom is understood then and there

The desire to be free takes a quantum leap

The desire to know takes a long sweep


The complaining self no longer complains

The doubting self no longer doubts

The bound self no longer feels bound

The doorway is open to enjoy the liberation

Swamini Svatmavidyanandaji  Chandogya Upanishad Class 51

    Wonderful poem! Thank you for sharing.


    My suggestion to you was not to take up omkara upasana, but to just practice being the watcher of the mind in all situations and get some inner space. I think you have done this already.

    with love and om

Just Be ( Summa Iru)

Just Be (Summa Iru)  As I sat in the weekly satsangs on Ramana Maharshi, Bhagavan’s question echoed within me: “When are you coming to Tiruvannamalai?” That question did not remain a question for long. It ripened itself. The long vigil of Maha Shivaratri, chanting the Ramana Tamil parayanam and the 26th chapter of the Ribhu Gita, deepened the saṅkalpa into something steady and irreversible. After a week-long Vedanta camp in Rishikesh, the journey unfolded almost on its own. Flights were booked. A car was arranged from Chennai. For the first time, plans were made not for the world or family, but for the Self. And in that sincerity, something remarkable happened: the universe did not resist. No one in the family objected. It was as if life itself stepped aside. Despite war and unrest disrupting travel across the world, when asked, “Are you still going?” the response arose effortlessly: “If it has to happen, it will.” In the bustle of Rishikesh, the mind wandered through sense objects...

A Tale of Two birds

  A   Tale of two birds Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a bird, With a  coo coo  here, and a  coo coo  there, Here a  coo , there a  coo , Everywhere  coo coo ! This bird eats the berries, Some are bitter, some are sweet. Fluttering here, fluttering there, Restless in its endless search. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a jīva, With a  glub glub  here,  and a  glub glub  there , Here a  glub,  there a  glub   , Everywhere  glub glub   ! The jīva whines in sorrow, The jīva whines in fear. Forgetting its true nature,  It suffers birth after birth. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree the jīva met the Guru, And the jīva turned into a bhakta. She asks, “Give me this, give me that,” She prays in sorrow and distress. She makes her bargains and deals Slowly c...

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within Paro Taktsang , famously known as the Tiger’s Nest Monastery , is one of Bhutan’s most sacred and breathtaking places — perched on a cliffside at an altitude of around 3,100 meters (10,200 feet) in Paro, Bhutan.  It’s not just a hike; it’s a pilgrimage.  We began our hike from the base around 7 AM. Wooden walking sticks rented from locals in hand, Strava app turned on, and spirits eager, we followed our guide, Kinzan, who kindly guided us along. We took a “before hike” photo — smiling, unaware of the lessons waiting ahead. The winding path stretched ahead, shaded by tall trees, strings of prayer flags, with hundreds of steps ascending through the forest.  Around us, travelers from all over the world climbing along—each group led by its own local guide. Step by step, one foot before the other, the hike began.  With every upward step, doubts crept in —  Will I make it?   The walking stick ...
