TB-44 jIva bRmha aikyam (oneness) |TB-44|

एवं सच्चिदानदस्वरूपं स्वात्मानं विजानीयात् |TB-44|


evam sath chit Ananda svarUpam svAtmAnam vijAnIyAt |TB-44|

evam = In this manner
vijAnIyAt = may you know
svAtmAnam = yourself to be
sath = the timeless existence
chit = limitless awareness
Ananda = and essentially without space time and object limataions
svarUpam = to be you THE jIva's essential nature as well..!



There are three types of adhikArIs .. uttama madhyama manda adhikArIs..

The mandama (least prepared) and madhyama (no-so-bad prepared) and uttama (totally ready) listeners.. hear this statement..

The totally prepared student can actually walk away at this point.. because whatever I write will be only a repetition of whatever they may have heard or known in either this birth or prior births.. Every word will suddenly make sense to this unique fellow as soon as he hears that he and ISvara: are one and the same..!

The other two groups of students will have to perform karma with a karma yoga attitude to gain purityof mind.. and then depending on their impetus and PK, they will also remove self-ignornace (and thus gain self-kanolwdge) and simulataneously cut off their kArmic ties..

Such a person will be described later in greater detail in TB itself.

Now the guru drops this 'atomic bomb" into the buddhi of the student so that this mahAvAkyam catalyst starts working inside him..

As it is, we know that the student who has approached our guru is certainly better than madhyama adhikAri.. he has been patient to ask questions from the very first moment when the guru told him that he was going to unfold the "tatva vivEkam". Almost like the group we have here in this SDS community..!

This one statement is the essence of all vedAnta.. Every one of the upanishat talks about this identity between jIva and bRmhan only. Sometimes this is also called as jIva ISvara aikyam..Why so? This will also become evident as we go on further in TB.

I am offering all this information only to create the akAnkShA(expectation) in YOU
