Chapter 19

 

1.

Just as a successful surgeon uses a pincer with great skill, to pull out an arrow imbedded in the stomach, I have used Tattvagnan to remove many kinds of sankalpa-vikalpa (resolves and doubts), and vichaara-mala (impure thinking), and thrown them away.

 

2.

I am established in my mahimaa (grandeur); where is Dharma for me? Where are Kama and Artha, and where is vivek? All else apart, where are dvaita (duality) and advaita (non-duality) for me?

 

3.

I am always and eternally established in my mahima. For me, where are the bhoota (past) and bhavishya (future), and the vartamaana (present)? Where is dishaa (the directions)?

 

4.

I am established in my mahima. For me, where is the existence of aatmaa-anaatmaa (the Atma and that, which is not the Atma), shubha-ashubha (auspicious-inauspicious), and chintan-achintana (thinking deeply – not thinking)?

 

5.

Where is svapna (the dream state) and where is sushupti (the deep sleep state) for me? Where is jaagarana (the waking state) and where is tureeya (merging into the universal consciousness)? Where is bhaya (fear)? Because, I am established in my swarup.

 

6.

Where is doora (far) and where is sameepa (near)? Where is baahya (external) and where is aabhyaantara (internal)? Where is sthoola (gross) and where is sookshma (subtle) for me? I am established in the mahima of my swarup.

 

7.

Where is mrityu (death) and where is jeevana (life)? Where is loka (the world) and where is laukika (of this world)? Where is laya (merging) and where is Samadhi? I am established in my swarup.

 

8.

Stop talking about Artha, Dharma and Kama. Enough! Talk about Yoga is unnecessary. We have had enough talk about vignaana (Gnan applied in life). I am established in my swarup.
