\u00a0<\/p>\n
Intellect absorbed in \u201cThat\u201d, Self being \u201cThat\u201d, established in \u201cThat\u201d, \u201cThat\u201d being the supreme goal, they go whence there is no return, their sins dispelled by knowledge.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tat Parayanaha: That being the Supreme goal. This refers to the practice of \u201cMeditation\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sastras advice that \u201cGod realisation\u201d should be the goal in life. \u201cGod realisation\u201d means realising the presence of God in all and respecting the God in all.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gachyanti Apanaravruttim: They go whence there is no return.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the material world we live in, absorbed in acquiring material gains we spend our time fulfilling our wishes and dreams. We have examples of businessmen, industrialists, politicians who have succeeded in their efforts by being totally absorbed in that and established in that objective. The success gained in the material world is related to time, space and causation. The happiness of achieving this success is not permanent.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the contrary, the \u201cPeace, Bliss\u201d experienced on uniting with the Parabrahman is the end of spiritual journey. It is union with the \u201cSupreme\u201d. When there are no more vasanas stored in the mind and the mind does not register any new vasanas it is said to be the ideal condition to merge with Brahman.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
This can happen only when their sins are dispelled by knowledge. The \u201csins\u201d referred to here are the \u201cvasanas.\u201d Clearing the stored vasanas in the mind and not letting new vasanas get registered in the mind comes from \u201cKnowledge\u201d. Highest knowledge the sastras would like us to develop is understanding the Mahavakya \u201cTat Tvam Asi.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Let us all stop in our path for a moment, contemplate on what progress we have made and on our future actions in relation to the goal of life, make a critical self-analysis of our actions in relation to our life, and we are sure to succeed and experience \u201cSat Chit Ananda.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
