Part19 - Sri Ramana Paravidyopanishad By Lakshman Sarma

The imperfections that beset life in samsara are transcended. It is shown in the supreme state reached by the sages.

559 For the sage who dwells in the state of non-duality, fear and desire do not arise as they do in an ignorant one. Desire and fear are unavoidable for those who are deluded by seeing differences.

560 The sentence, ‘Fear arises from a second entity’, shows that seeing duality is the cause of fear. No creature whose Self has been apparently stolen by the belief in the reality of differences is ever free from fear.

561 ‘The sage who is immersed in the ecstasy of the blissful real Self, who is beyond the scope of mind and speech, is not afraid of anything whatsoever.’ In this way revelation teaches us that nothing moves the sage from his supreme state.

562 For him that is established in the supreme state, desires do not arise, because the desirer, the ego, has ceased to exist. The sage in that state is ever contented, as if he had obtained simultaneously enjoyment of all possible desires at a stroke.

This is from the Taittiriya Upanishad. What is meant is that all the happiness that is possible in the worldly life is contained in a minute fraction of that bliss of Brahman.
