|| तत्वबोध -- 61||

maha vAkya vichAram continues..! TB-61|

ननु साहंकारस्य किंचिज्ज्ञस्य जीवस्य निरहंकारस्य सर्वज्ञस्य ईश्वरस्य तत्त्वमसीति महावाक्यात् कथमभेदबुद्धिः स्यादुभयोः विरुद्धधर्माक्रान्तत्वात् |इति चेन्न |TB-61|

nanu sAhankArasya kinchi gnyasya jeevasya nirahankArasya sarva gnysya eeshvarasya tat tvam asi iti mahAvAkyAt katham abhEda buddhi: syAt ubhayo: viruddha dharma AkrAntatvAt iti chEt na |TB-61|

This is a bit long sentence.. but not difficult to understand. I will approach it in a way that makes sense for sure. The shiShya now generates a clean doubt.



That has been haunting humanity since creation!

nanu = Suppose
iti chEt = If you were to think of
abhEda buddhi:= the cognition that both are non-separate from each other
katham syAt = how is it ever possible to appear in our minds?

ubhayo: = I KNOW FOR SUTE THAT between god and the human being
viruddha = the opposing
dharma = qualities
AkrAntatvAt = are inpossible to be reconciled.

I have heard the following also..

tat tvam asi = YOU ARE THAT
iti mahAvAkyAt = It is a wonderful advice from upanishat that is supposed to teach me the non-difference between myself and god.. (so what?)

Who am I? I know this very well indeed..

sAhankArasya = I am always driven by my little ego
kinchit gnyasya = whatever I know is so little compared to whatever I don't know.
jeevasya = I am a miserable little jeeva

Who is god? I know this also very well. Please do not think that I do not know the difference.

nirahankArasya = god has NO ego whatsoever.
sarva gnysya = god is all knowing.. he even knows samskRtam.. for crying out loud.
eeshvarasya = he is the eeshvara.. he has 6 fold qualities TOTALLY(over lordship, wealth, knowledge, dispassion, fame, ad valor)

na = no way jose..! You may be a great guru sir..! but this is a tall order for me to swallow. So far you have been making sense. Now I am beginning to doubt your sanity.!

(Actually that is how most people think these days.. but not our SDS community members.. we HAVE great respect for our gurus.
