1. Objectifying sakshi chaitanyam when shastra talks about sakshi chaitanyam
Clarification
- I am chaitanyam, I am sakshi
- I objectify everything
- I reveal all objects
- In my presence alone revelation happens for any object knowledge
- I am unchanging in all periods of time
2. If atma is known as sakshi chaitanyam by just drk drshya viveka, what then is brahma jnanam and need for shabda pramana?
Clarification
- Who is brahman? , only shastra is the pramana for what the word means.
- Satchitananda is brahma svarupam. Svarupa lakshanam. This is from shabda pramana.
- The words together uniquely define only brahman and none other than brahman.
- The word chit, refers to Chaitanyam or consciousness.I only know that I am conciousness, but shastra says consciousness is a word for brahman, but not 'individuals consciousness' rather 'consciousness' alongside sat and ananta.
- Shabda pramana says in the beginning brahman alone is. There is no jagad, brahman alone is.
- This brahman is satchidananda svarupam.
- Satchit I am , as per definition of sakshi chaitanyam. How? Anantam means again, timewise anantam. Sakshi is unchanging consciousness in waking dreaming sleeping, past present future, hence is satchit.
Brahman the cause, is satchitananta, satchit, not limited by space and time. Individual consciousness is understood as satchit. When we say individual and total are one and the same, then we have to take the lakshyartha. Wherein the causal brahman satchitananda, is said to be none other than individual satchit. We minus the upadhi of individual body and total body, and arrive at consciousness , which is sakshi chaitanay. Sakshi chaitanyam not limited by upAdhis of individual etc. Sakshi is a status only with respect to 3 states of waking, dreaming and sleep, and other states.Therefore I is pure chaitanyam.
That I am parabrama which is explained as satchidananda has revelations.It means what I consider myself as, which is body, as karta, as bhokta etc. do not hold fort.Since satchidananda, does not have parts, is not subject to coming and going etc.Then what is the source of all this, where it came from, which made me sakshi with respect to a body. Am I as sakshi inside space, no, but we say space IS. So another set of confusions are there to be resolved with regard to jagad.
Shastra says jagad is mithya.
Shastra says jagad is mithya.
3. Mithya is other than atma
Clarification
- Mithya is not a vastu.
- It is an ontological word revealing the reality of a vastu.
- A vastu having its being or reality in satyam, is mithya.
- Such as pot, is. Pot is useful. Pot has its reality in clay, pot is clay. Pot is none other than clay.
- Yet there is a pot, with potness. Name , and, a form to go with the name.
- Same way , space is the name, spaceness is the form, to go with the name 'space'. Word and meaning. They never exist in isolation. With the name space there is always a form to go with it.
- Space is mithya means, Space is brahman. Space is atma.
- So as such nothing is to be understood or known other than brahman.
- Many other shruti statements corroborate, knowing which all is known, everything is as well known.
Now to look at few other projections due to ignorance.
4. If we say mithya is satyam, such as space is brahman, doesn't brahman become an object.
- Object when we say, we refer to A. spaceness, name space and spaceness form, and we also refer to B. knowledge of space name and space form.
- The knowledge space name and space form, itself IS.
- The knowledge implies a knower. The one who knows. The one who knows, himself IS.
- What IS , is the adhistAnam of space, of space knowledge and of space knower.
- The reality of space. Himself he is space. He himself is the knower of space as well as space knowledge.
- So this object subject, is statuses, reality the vastu is one.
- Object 'is', subject 'is'. What is, is neither object, nor subject, it is reality vastu atma brahman.
5. Atma is underneath object and subject
- "Underneath" when we say, objects alone are underneath or above in terms of space.
- Now space, objects, knowledge of underneath etc. are all atma with name and form.Name and form like pot and pot form.
- Brahman or atman is. Subject object is brahman. Brahman is neither subject nor object.
- So all the way we understand subject object, is brahman.
- All is brahman
