Vedas - The Vaccine for Samsaritis (Gita 2:18 )

 

Chapter 2 Sloka 18

 इमे देहा नित्यस्योक्ता: शरीरिण: |
अनाशिनोऽप्रमेयस्य तस्माद्युध्यस्व भारत || 18||

antavanta ime dehā nityasyoktāḥ śharīriṇaḥ
anāśhino ’prameyasya tasmād yudhyasva bhārata


The concept of permanency is twofold

The concept of destruction is twofold

Physical destruction is one form 

Emotional destruction is another form 


Ātma is devoid of both forms of destruction 

Ātma is free for all kinds of perceptions

The relative permanent is the nature

The absolute permanent is the Brahman


The indweller in these bodies is the permanent 

The bodies themselves are impermanent 

Multiple keys are tried in the keyhole

The door is already open as a whole


Vedas remove the eclipse of ignorance 

Self evident Ātma shines as the trance

Samsaritis has the Vedas as vaccine 

Zoomkulam administer the vaccines


Upanishads are the different shots

Gita and prakarana releases the knots 

Booster shot is given for the mutations

Ignorance is uprooted as the causation


This Sloka is said for the act of mind cleaning

The subjectivity lens can change the meaning 

This can be misinterpreted as an order for 'Doing'

It is for the inner mind to get ready for brewing  


Wrong priorities complicate the courtship

We have to cultivate a non doership

Giving up Karma in order to escape

Will not heal, but make the wound gape


The body is the chariot with sense organ horses

Intellect holds the rein to decide the course

Discrimination makes right decision in the brain

Lord Krishna, the inner Guru holds the rein


Swamini Svatmavidyananda  Class 29 Gita 2:18

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...

Exit from Abhimanyu Syndrome

Exit from Abhimanyu Syndrome Should I sleep away from the drama of the world, Or awaken to the stillness in which it appears? Should I wake up from the dream of the waking state, where name and form parade as truth? Or accept them as they are? Should I stop attempting to rewrite the script of life? Or engage in the scenes of the play with a playful attitude? Should I stop projecting a personal movie, Or recognize that I am the light that makes all images possible? Should I reject the world as a mere phenomenon? Or release identification with body and mind? Should I rest in the wisdom of internal calmness ? Should I be that mystical Swan  meandering gracefully in the water  abiding in self right now? If not I, Who will see this? If not now, When will this seeing occur? Who am I is the question of Viveka What am I up to is the question of Vairagya When there is nowhere to go, and nothing to attain, I dwell in these questions, not seeking answers, for the questions themselves are...
