maha vAkya vichAram continues..! TB-59|

एवं उपाधिभेदात् जीवेश्वरभेददृष्टिः यावत्पर्यन्तं तिष्ठतिbvतावत्पर्यन्तं जन्ममरणादिरूपसंसारो न निवर्तते |
तस्मात्कारणान्न जीवेश्वरयोर्भेदबिद्धिः स्वीकार्या |TB-59|

Evam = in this manner upAdhibhEdAt = due to the difference in the two types of adjuncts (avidyA and mAyA..) bhEda dRShTi: = a difference.. THE DUALITY outlook.. thiShTati = stays frim in our buddhi yAvat paryantam tAvat paryantam = as long as it is present... janana maraNAdi rupa samsAra: = the sorrow of bing born and dying again and again na nivartatE = NEVER ENDS.!



tasmAt kAraNAt = DUE TO THIS CONTINUATION OF SAMSARAM ALONE.. na sveekAryA = MAY YOU NOT ENTERTAIN.. bhEda buddhi: = THE COGNITION THAT I AM DIFFERENT THAN GOD.

Slowly the guru has introduced the concept that we the jeevas are NOT different than god.. The question will still huant us.. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE? HOW I CAN I BE GOD?

Now it is time to think about the earlier definitions given about bhagavan.

dhanam asya asti iti dhanavAn.. a person has wealth so he is called dhanavAn
buddhi asya asti iti buddhimAn.. a person has buddhi so he is called uddhimAn
veeryam asya asti iti veeryavAn. a person has valor, so he is called veeryavAn
So bhaga: asya asti iti bhagavAn.. this person has bhaga: so he is called bhagavAn

Now we just have to know what bhaga:.. that is all.. shruti defines bhaga: as six qualities. These are: shree: or overlordship; aishvaryam or wealth; gnyAnam or knowledge; vairAgyam or detachment;byashas or fame; veeryam or valor.

Imagine a person who has all of these in limitless measure.. The POWER to create, sutain and withdraw the universe. OWNER of the entire wealth found in creation; LIMITLESS knowledge with zero blemishes; LIMITLESS vairAgyam or dispassion comes only when there is NOTHING more needed; So is LIMITLESS fame & valor!

We have all of the six in teensy weensy measure; a few bucks in a piggy bank; we can kill an insect; we know a few things; we throw a banana peel; a few think we are great; we are BRAVE TO chase a kid. see?
