This 'GnanaYajna' is the first Yajna of Swami Sivayoganandha. Acharya, Chinmaya Mission, Madurai. Blessed are the one who listened to him, soon after his initiation.
After clearing the doubts of Kabandhi, Kousalyah & Bhargav, Rishi Pippalahar reveals the One who illumines each one, as the answer to the question putforth by his yet an another disciple Kargyah.
The Questions:
1. While sleeping , who goes to sleep ? Who keeps awake?
2. Who is the experiencer of the 'dream state' ?
3.Who enjoys the 'deep sleep state'?
4.Who illumines all the three states?
Rishi Pippalahar's answers are so poetically painted in the Upanishad. Accompanied by the selected Adi Sankara's bashyam & quotes from Chandokya Upanishad, this part of Upanishad was exhaustively explained by Swami Sivayoganandha.
Some points to read & reflect:
- While sleeping, the sense organs loses it's activity, but they exist.
- 'Athman' as such has no experience in it's pure state, but when it lends its consciousness to the subtle nerves, 'thoughts' are awakened. It pervades through the mind. That is how dreams are remembered. It is a theory of Illusion., which is intellectually proved with proper logic.
- The Trinity Agni, in one's physique, keeps awake even when one goes to sleep. Unless one is blessed by these three Agni, it is impossible to hear such 'Athma Gnana'
- In the waking state, we discard the dream as unreal. When the dream becomes unreal, the waking state is also unreal
- To look at the world dispassionately is in true sense, 'Sanyasa'
- A seeker by his 'Dhyana abyasa' invokes 'Ishwara' in his heart, and look at the world as unreal.
- Existence without the 'mind' is 'deep sleep state.' In a way it is ignorance, but it is the bliss of a being & a total ecstasy for a Gnani who experience this state consciously.
- ' Om' is the vehicle through which the 'jeeva' merges with 'Supreme Reality' who is within.
- He illumines all the three states, who is the Supreme Self. One should get firmly established in it.
