Chapter 5 Part 2
Liberation from all Karma
Creation, Existence and Destruction
Universe is formed when sakthi spandana(energy vibration) happens as an illusion in the static and undivided Brahma. Brahma or pure consciousness cannot vibrate because it is undivided. So it is the singular object that exists. In effect there are no other things other than Brahma. This is the non-dual aspect of existence put forwarded by ancient rishis through vedas and upanishads.
Creation happens when there is a dual feeling by seeing different 'forms' on the singular object. When dual feeling is removed then universe cannot be experienced. At first the feeling of 'forms' comes, this is creation or srishti. Then the vision of 'forms' continues, this is existence (sthithi). Then the 'forms' disappear and this is destruction (samhara). But for those who sees the truth that there is only Brahma, for them there is no creation or existence or destruction.
When budhi becomes single pointed, this truth can be realized. Such a realized yogi does not be allured by anything in this world. He does not show happiness in things he likes and does not become unhappy towards things that he does not like. He does not worry about unpleasant experiences in life.
Senses and sensual pleasures
Senses are doors that open to outer world. If that doors are closed, the focus goes inward. If senses are controlled mind turns inward. If we do not run after sense objects(vishaya), then mind becomes quiet. Gradually mind change its external focus internally. What is there internally? There are nothing that are externally! Externally the focus is many pointed. But internally the focus is single pointed. Single pointed to what? Single pointed to own consciousness. Becomes aware about own self.Conscious about own consciousness. Think that we use a torch light to see other things. How about using that light to see ourselves?
Eternal Happiness
Those who do not run for pleasures by keeping the feeling of "I" or "My" in indriya-vishayas, can find the happiness which is within. That is Brahma-ananda. Then he sees Brahma internally and externally. Then he enjoys everlasting happiness by becoming one with the all pervading Brahma.
Temporary happiness
Happiness that depends on external factors or things are temporary. Sense objects(vishaya things) are the basis of sensual pleasures. They are having a beginning and an end. Pleasure is felt when sensual objects are achieved and the pleasure they gave also have an end. They cannot be everlasting. But the happiness which is not depending on any external thing and that is coming from within is eternal.
Brahmananda
The eternal happiness or Brahma-ananda is not experienced by everybody. This happiness is obstructed by desires, anger etc. So, whoever is capable of controlling the emotions of desire and anger in between this life before leaving this body, can achieve athmananda. He finds the real happiness, that is Brahmananda.
Leave all temporary sensual pleasures and find eternal happiness within. One who enjoys this eternal happiness of Brahma everywhere and every time gradually becomes the Brahma itself. Finally he experiences the eternal peace and ananda which is of Brahma.
Attaining Brahma or Realization of Brahma
Expel all karma vasanas by observing karma yoga. Leave all dual feelings. Focus on the one and only Brahma. Control senses and mind completely. Find the same truth(soul) in everything. Through this path one can achieve Brahmananda. For such a person, the Brahmananda fills around and overflows. Other peoples who approach him can feel the condensed form of eternal bliss.
Ultimate Liberation
By conquering vishayas, controlling senses mind and budhi, winning desires and anger, a muni baths on the sea of brahmananda. Such a person can be considered as liberated even if he is in the body or not. All the results for every yajna and tapas are given by Brahma. Brahma saves all worlds according to their states. Brahma is the supreme God and is the friend who shows mercy to all living beings. Those who sees Brahma like this in deep meditative state finds eternal peace.
