Articles: Devotion | Conclusion of Gita
- Prof. venkata ramanamurty mallajosyula
| |
In this article it has been said that God may be realized through seven types of
renunciation. Among them, it has been stated that, the first five types of renunciation
indicate the first stage of wisdom, renunciation up to the sixth type indicate the marks of the
second stage of wisdom, and renunciations up to the seventh type indicate the marks of the
third stage of wisdom.
He who attains ripeness in the third stage of Wisdom above, at once realizes God, the
embodiment of Existence, Knowledge and Bliss. There after he loses all connections with
this transient, destructible, impermanent world. Just as the person awakened from a dream
loses all connection with the dream-world, even so the person awakened from the dream of
ignorance loses all connection with the impermanent world, the creation of Maya.
Though from the point of view of the world, all forms of activities are observed as taking
place through the body of that person under the force of Prarabdha, and the world gains a
lot by such activities, for being freed from desires, attachments and the sense of doership,
whatever the Mahatma does through his mind, speech and body becomes the standard of
right conduct in the world, and from the ideas of such a Mahatma scriptures are formed, yet
that person, who has realized Vasudeva the embodiment of Existence, Knowledge and
Bliss, lives wholly beyond Maya, consisting of the three Gunas.
Therefore he during illumination, activity and sleep, etc, which are the effect of the Gunas,
does not hate them, nor when they cease, desires for them. For, with regard to pleasure
and pain, gain and loss, honor and ignominy, praise and blame etc, and with regard to
earth. Stone and gold, etc, he attains an altitude of equanimity.
