    Introduction

    Contributed by Dr. Thimappa Hegde


    What is thebenefit of Brahma Vidya ?

    •Jīvan Mukthi

    •Videha Mukthi


    JīvanMukthi– Liberation while Living

    • All the problems of life belong to the Ego

    • As body - mind, there is no complete solution to any problem

    • As Atma there is no problem

    • Anchor as the Atma and play our roles

    • Sun and Stars.


    Videha Mukthi – Liberation from Rebirth

    • Law of Karma – Results of action

    • Every deliberate or wilful action that we do, produces Drishta Phalamand AdrishtaPhalam

    • All karmas accumulated in the past janmas -Sanchita Karma

    • A portion of which has matured is called Prārabdha



    Sanchita and Prarabdha Karma

    •Sanchitam will not affect us now

    •Prārabdha is responsible for the present body, life, health, parents etc

    •Prarabdha also determines the time, place and how we die

    •What wakes us up each day is this karma

    •Sun and Stars


    Jnānam destroys all the SanchitaKarmā

    Verse 85 (431)

    Contributed by Smt Aruna


    vartamāne'pi dehe'smiñchāyāvadanuvartini |

    ahantāmamatābhāvo jīvanmuktasyalakṣaṇam || 431 ||


    The absence of the ideas of "I" and "mine" even in this existing body which follows as a shadow, is a characteristic of one liberated-in-life.


    CHARACTERISTICSOFJEEVAN MUKTHA

    1.Gives up all modifications of Mind and Activities.

    2. Wisdom of Jivan Muktha is steady and established in Blissful Self.

    3. Waking Conduct appears Normal. The Jivan Muktha is beyond limitation of waking experience.

    4.Plays all the roles as required in the society and yet remains established in his essential self.
