Freedom is ones nature

1.     The nature of atma is freedom.

2.     Atma is limitless and all pervasive.

3.     From the atom on to the largest stars, all living beings, stone , all that is seen, not yet seen, the seer in each of person, all of that is none other than oneself the atma.

4.     All names and forms are mithya, while atma is the satyam that pervades every name and form.

5.     By itself oneself the atma is free of any name and forms, in fact I am nameless, formless, changeless.

6.     There is no real creation or manifestation.

7.     There is no real karta or bhokta.

8.     There is no real srshti karta or sthithi laya karana.

9.     All of these are statuses and names and forms superimposed on atma.

10. Atma in seed form before universe is manifest is in avyakta state (unmanifest seed form).

11. Here it is maya sahita atma.

12. Here universe is yet to manifest.

13. It is pure ignorance or avidya, which has no beginning.

14. This avidya is the cause for the projection of names and forms, as well as for the ignorance that makes atma believe oneself to be the doer.

15. Due to this ignorance, the jiva is caught in the beginingless cycle of rebirth.

16. When the mula avidya is destroyed due to atma jnana, the jiva understands oneself to be the brahman or atman.

17. Atma jnana is vrtti jnana.

18. This jnana rests with mayin (wielder of maya) the lord hiimself.

19. It is the knowledge which maya herself has.

20. This knowledge is the vedic knowledge, upanisadic knowledge.

21. This knowledge is taught by live teacher , who received this knowledge from his teacher.

22. The first teacher was lord himself.

23. The teacher and the vedas together form the means of knowledge.

24. Together they are also the wielders of the knowledge.

25. The wielders of the knowledge reveal the truth to the student desirous of liberation from the janma cycle.

26. The student , having conquered ones raga dvesas, by living a life of contribution and prayerfulness, attains the qualification to assimilate this knowledge.

27. When a qualified student listens to the teacher, the knowledge takes place, and eliminates the ignorance.

28. The student shines as the ever liberated brahman.
