Chapter – 362 – The legend
of Lord Krishna - 210
The mind and intellect
originated from the supreme soul has neither birth nor death, until and unless
it attains union with the Bhramalaya/Bhrama Pralaya. The illustrious Rishis and Sages found that
the unfulfilled desires and lust, causes the Jeeva to take repeated
births/Punarjanma and undergoes miseries and sorrows of worldly existence. An ignorant without the knowledge of the
impermanent nature of Prakrithi /body which undergoes constant transformation
and ruin, get attached to people, wealth, richness, fame, etc. and hurl into
endless afflictions finally cause themselves to repeated births. An
intellectual who has a thorough knowledge of the supreme soul that has neither birth
nor death, changeless, and unblemished, isolate themselves from the interest
from worldly matters, people, fame, richness, etc. and with the constant practice
of meditation, surrender to the supreme Lord who is the source of supreme
bliss.
Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh!
Rajan, The supreme soul has subtle nature and void of Thrigunas, it has neither
end nor beginning/Dhrik, resides as a soul
in the human body is the source of the functioning of the mind, intellect, and sense
organs, like the light that reveals the presence of things and people, like the
stars and planets, cannot exist without the presence of the sky. Oh! Rajan, its
piteous act, the Jeeva did not realize the presence of the supreme soul who is the
cause for the functioning of mind and intellect, thereby getting attached to
the material world and people. Oh!
Rajan, the supreme soul is void of manifold nature; it is the thought that has the
diverse nature that has the influence of Sathvik, Rajasik, and Thamasik Guna, like
the clouds that keep appearing and disappear in the vast sky. The supreme soul is the cause and effect like
mud pot/effect created out of mud/cause, clothes/effect woven out of
thread/cause, various patterns of ornaments/effect made out of gold/cause. Oh!
Rajan, the Prakrithi/Jeeva cannot exist without the Purusha/Paramathma, with
the constant contemplation upon the supreme Lord; the Jeeva attains serenity of
mind/absence of thoughts, as if in the good sleep. Oh! Rajan, Jeeva is the mirror image of Paramathma, but
the Jeeva has accumulated impurities through the senses, attached to material
world and bondage, hence it fails to realize the supreme nature of Paramathma
within it. Therefore the practice intense meditation, Pranayama, reading and
reciting scriptures, association with the saintly men and ascetics would remove the redundant thoughts in the mind; eventually, Jeeva will attain the union
with the Paramathma/supreme bliss.”
