    Vivekachudamani – Class 6

    22nd February 2021



    Summary of Previous class

    Contributed by Dr. Diwaker


    25 śiṣyaḥ uvāca


    ko nāma bandhaḥ kathameṣa āgataḥ, kathaṃ pratiṣṭhāsya kathaṃ vimokṣaḥ ko’sāvanātmā paramaḥ ka ātmā, tayorvivekaḥ kathametaducyatām 49


    7 important questions by the student


    1.What is bondage ?

    2.How does the bondage happen ?

    3.How does this bondage persist for such long time?

    4.How can I break free from this bondage ?

    5.What is Anatma ?

    6.What is Atma ?

    7.How to differentiate between Atma and Anatma ?


    26

    yadboddhavyaṃ tavedānīm, ātmānātmavivecanam | taducyate mayā samyak, śrutvātmanyavadhāraya 71


    7th Question-Atma Anatma viveka is answered first


    Guru’s Alert to all students-


    Samyak srutva- Listen carefully

    &

    Atman avadharaya- Register in the Mind


    27

    pañcīkṛtebhyo bhūtebhyaḥ, sthūlebhyaḥ pūrvakarmaṇā | samutpannamidaṃ sthūlaṃ, bhogāyatanamātmanaḥ | avasthā jāgarastasya, sthūlārthānubhavo yataḥ 88

    Anatma & Atma (question 5&6 is discussed to answer question 7)


    Anatma is discussed from this verse

    External world is accepted by all as Anatma

    Difficulty is in accepting Body-Mind

    complex as Anatma


    Sthula (gross)

    Sukshma (subtle)

    Karana sharira (causal)


    General cause for gross body is formed by grossified 5 elements


    Uniqueness of gross body is because of purva karmas

    Gross body is the temporary abode of

    Jivatma to fructify karmas, bhogyatanam


    28

    vāgādi pañca śravaṇādi pañca, prāṇādi pañcābhramukhāni pañca | buddhyādyavidyāpi ca kāmakarmaṇī, puryaṣṭakaṃ sūkṣmaśarīramāhuḥ 96


    Constituents of subtle body


    Puryastakam- 8 cities


    1.5 organs of action-Karmendriya

    2.5 sense organs - Jnanendriya

    3.5 vital functions- Pancha Prana

    4.5 subtle elements- Pancha boothas

    5.4 Mind complex- Anthahkarana

    6.Self misconception- Avidya

    7.Desires causing Samsara- Kama

    8.Actions and results of actions-Karma


    Subtle body lasts till pralayam

    29

    idaṃ śarīraṃ śṛṇu sūkṣmasaṃjñitaṃ, liṅgaṃ tvapañcīkṛtabhūtasaṃbhavam| savāsanaṃ karmaphalānubhāvakaṃ, svājñānato’nādirupādhirātmanaḥ 97 svapno bhavatyasya vibhaktyavasthā, svamātraśeṣeṇa vibhāti yatra 98


    Lingam-That which reveals consciousness

    by borrowing consciousness from

    karanashariram

    Atma causal subtle gross


    Subtle body is formed by ungrossified

    5 elements and it stores Karmaphalams

    (paapa and punya) & Vasanas


    Karmaphala affects our Receivership

    Vasana affects our Doership


    Upadhi – That which distorts appearance.

    3 bodies are Upadhis as they distort

    Paramatma as Jivatma


    Svajnantah- Because of self ignorance

    about characters of upadhi we have

    misidentification


    30

    sarvavyāpṛtikaraṇaṃ liṅgam, idaṃ syāccidātmanaḥ puṃsaḥ | vāsyādikamiva takṣṇaḥ, tenaivātmā bhavatyasaṅgo’yam 100


    Vyaparam-subtle body is used for all

    transactions during wakeful state.


    Chidatmah pumsah-Jivatma uses

    subtle body for transactions, just like a carpenter (taksnah) uses chisel

    (vasyadikam)


    So carpenter becomes akarta/abokta

    without tools


    So is Atma which is originally

    akarta/abokta, without the tools of

    subtle body-Asangah !

    Verse 33

    Contributed by Dr Sathyanarayana


    Avyaktametattrigunairniruktam

    tat karanamnamasariramatmanah

    susuptiretasyavibhaktiavastha

    pralinasarvaindriya buddhi vrittih


    avyaktam etat- this unmanifest maya, seed of the entire universe

    trigunaih niruktam- explained in the form of three gunas

    tat karanam nama sariram atmanah- that is called the causal body of the atma

    susupti etasya vibhakti avastha- of this deep sleep is distinct state

    pralina sarva indriya buddhi vrttih- in which all activities of the senses and mind are resolved

    The unmanifest maya is explained in the form of the three gunas and that is called the causal body of the atma. Sleep is atma's distinct state in which all the activities of the senses and the mind are resolved





    Verse 34

    Contributed by Sri Venkatesh Prasad







    Verse 35

    Contributed by Sri Shivakumar Yadalam



    3 BODIES:


    v śāstra names Jiva as Viśvaḥ when it is limited by avidya, gross & subtle body (sthula & sukshma), while identifying with the waking state


    v Jiva limited by avidya & Subtle body, identifying with the dream state is called taijasaḥ


    v Jiva limited by Karana (causal) body, identifying with deep sleep is called prājñaḥ.


    Important points of Consciousness from śāstra

    vConsciousness is not a part, product, property of this body

    v Consciousness is an independent entity which pervades and enlivens this body

    v Consciousness is not limited by the boundaries of this body

    v Consciousness continues to exist, even after this body collapses

    v Consciousness by itself without a upadhi/instrument, cannot transact or interact


    Verse 36
