Part 2 - Sri Sadasiva Brahmendra's Atma Vidya Vilasam

Verse 26:-Advaita Siddhi means living in natural state, Sahaja Samadhi and achieving liberation from that moment of naturalness He performs all actions in the state of Kaivalya, without differing from that exalted state, staying in ever lasting bliss.He dispels the ignorance like the raising full moon and he is worshipped even by angels of the heaven.

Verse 27:- By his Presence and touch, he will spread his influence and grants benevolence to the people.He by Self-Bliss makes them feel inner harmony and removes all their ills since he isa Brahma Jnani.

Verse 28 :-When mind is engrossed in any particular issue, the mind gets immense pleasure or pain. Even in pleasures from the articles, there is ananda, bliss, but it is short lived.But a Jnani's Presence is like a Sourabha, (celestrial fragrance) and spreads that fragrance in all his surroundings.He is moving in the celestial garden of Atmanand hence he is ever fragrant.

Verse 29:- Fear alone generates in one when he feels that there is some one other than himself.But Self-Knowledge is a real vijnana, state, where there is no one other than himself.Hence Self-Knowledge is like a majestic garden, in which all the peacocoks stroll without fear.The Jnani is thus fearless and in his Presence no one else can also have fear.He is like a blue throated Siva, in whose Presence, the blue peacocks stroll.

Verse 30:-The Jnani, deserting the mistaken water (in a mirage) in the sunny sands, enjoys no delusion. That Jnani drinks the real water of divine nectar, which is bliss of Brahman.

Verse 31:-The Jnani in the beautiful garden of Advaita sings to his heart content, very pleasantly.He is like a cuckoo,enjoying the tender leaves of Vedanta.

Verse 32:-The Jnani has nothing to do with the sins and righteous acts.He is like a lion with knowledge and the ignorant elephants have been driven away to the wide forests, by his mere Presence.He is alone in the forest of Brahma-ananda, enjoying the everlasting bliss.

Verse 32:-Let Maya, which is like a cloud, shower rains callled the world.What is the profit for me?What is the loss for me?I am ever happy in the self-effulgent swarupa, the Brahman.

Verse 33:-When gold is absent, there are no gold ornaments.When the earth is absent, there are no pots and jars. When there is no ocean, there are no waves and foams.So also,in Brahma Jnani, there are not expressive objects outside.The Jnani is alike a fattened elephant, deserted by all the other animals in the jungle and moves about freely and climbs the mountains at his will.

Verse 34:-In Yoga, one is asked to concentrate on the tip of one's nose, to arrest thoughts.They are asked to show 'mudras' - hand posture, to the divine will.They are further asked to perform 'namaskaras' - prostrations, to show reverence to gods.The Jnani with his silence, as yoga, mudra and namaskara,stay at the river bund, immersing in meditation and enjoys Samadhi.

Verse 35:-The attachment to the worldly objects is called 'raga'.Non attachment is 'viraga'.Ina Jnani, his renunciation is raga and abandonment is viraga.He has no body consciousness,not clad at all or clad in minimal clothes, will not speak to anyone anything, fully devoid of thoughts and feelings, will not do any duties excepting the minimal duties.He takes any food that is available to him, moves about freely and sleeps under a tree.

Verse 36:-Keeping the mind internally absorbed in Brahman,he remains in Peace of Jnana.He has got unbrised feeling towards friends and foes, and there is no harm to him, even if he lives in deserted houses or wanders on the river banks abetting long stretches of sand dunes or jungles.

Verse 37:-The Jnani enjoys lying on the soft bed of soil and enjoying the cool breeze as if fanned, ever in a peaceful state,radiating like a full bloom moon.He is Siva, the Purusha and the Siddha.

Verse 38:-The person who has realized the Truth, always enjoys Sat-Chit-Ananda.The Jnani who has realized that only truthful thought is Brahman, can go to any world, lokas,as he pleases.He is the King of the saint, even though he sleeps on rocky structure and gets sound sleep.He is ever surrounded by cool breeze and river waters.

Verse 39:-The Jnani transcends five sheaths, as the gross is removed from the earth to show the inner plate.He ever stays in Brahman, even while food falls on his hand unasked.He wanders in the streets of the town, as a dead log.

Verse 40:-The Jnani looks at this entire universe, as a mistaken snake (for a rope) and immerses himself with the rest as Brahman,ever without doubt or fear.He is ever in the Oneness of the Almighty, and will not stretch his hands for begging food and eats what comes to him, unmindful of when and how and from whom it comes.

Verse 41:-The Jnani is always in the Turiya state and is an Yogroodha, one who excels in yoga. Brhama Jnani ever lives in the state of Brahman, and so he does not have to remember Brahman everytime.

Verse 42:-The Jnani completely deserts all scriputural injunctions,like one would desert a boat after crossing the river. He has to desert all sastras, rules of conduct, because nothing is required after Brahma Jnana.He is like a lamp, steadily burning in a breezeless atmosphere.
