Sriranga Mahaguru - Nectarine Nuggets

The Iha-Jīvana (mundane life) implies the three cardinal values of life namely Dharma, Artha and Kāma while Para- Jīvana refers to Mokṣa (liberation). The Maharṣis, through their intense Tapas (penance) and piercing inquisitive intellect have arrived at a conclusion about life "Idamittham – this is what and how it is". Based on this, they have designed a structure of life with the four paramount values.

Sriranga Mahaguru - Nectarine Nuggets

One is ordained to take up Brahmacarya Āśrama (celibacy) to understand this Tīramāna (decision about goal) of Life through Vidyābhyāsa (Learning). Then to continue the Dhārmic progeny Gṛhasthāśrama (House-holder's stage) is advocated. Later in Life, to realize completely the Paramārtha (ultimate meaning) of Life through meditation, a serene environment is needed and that is when Vānaprastha Āśrama (Hermit-life) is advocated. And finally Sanyāsa-Āśrama (ascetic life) is recommended to take refuge in the ultimate and the Supreme Being and to shed this life.

ಈ ವಿಶ್ವವೆಂಬ ಗೋಳದ ಅಕ್ಷಾಂಶ ರೇಖಾಂಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅಗಣಿತವಾದ ಜೀವ ಕೋಟಿಗಳು ವಾಸಮಾಡಿ ತಾನಿರುವ ವಾತಾವರಣಕ್ಕೆ ತಕ್ಕಂತೆ ಒಂದೊಂದು ಬಗೆಯಾಗಿ ಜೀವನ ಮಾಡುವಂತೆ, ವಿಶ್ವಗೋಳಕ್ಕೆ ಮಧ್ಯನಾಳದಲ್ಲೂ ಕೆಲ ಚೇತನರಿದ್ದು ಅವರೂ ಸಹ ಒಂದು ವಿಲಕ್ಷಣವಾದ ಜೀವನವನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರಾರೆಂದರೆ ಮಹಾಯೋಗಿಗಳಾದ ಭಾರತಮಹರ್ಷಿಗಳು.

ನಾವು ಮಾಡುವ ಕೆಲಸವೆಲ್ಲವೂ ಇಂದ್ರಿಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದುದು. ಆದರೆ ಮಹರ್ಷಿಗಳ ಜೀವನ ಆತ್ಮಾವಲಂಬೀ ಜೀವನ. ನಾವು ಇಂದ್ರಿಯಗಳಿಂದ ಇಂದ್ರಿಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಬೇಕಾದ ವಿಷಯಗಳನ್ನು ಹೇಗೆ ಗ್ರಹಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆಯೋ ಹಾಗೆ ಅವರು ಆತ್ಮನ ಮೂಲಕ ಜೀವನಕ್ಕೆ ಬೇಕಾದ ಎಲ್ಲ ವಿಷಯಗಳನ್ನೂ ಅರಿಯುತ್ತಾರೆ.

Notice the development of the mango starting from its half- ripe stage to the stage of complete fruition. Initially it is bitter, then astringent, sour and saline – this way the flavours gradually change in order to settle finally in sweetness. Thus from unripe stage to the fully-ripe stage all the six flavours play their part. In the same manner, even in the evolution of Life, there exists a role for the six Rasas. Just as the ṣadrasas culminate in Madhura Rasa, Life also must culminate in sweetness. This verily is the essence of Life. This is what is preordained in Nature. This indeed is Sṛṣṭi-Sahaja, Satyasiddha and Ātmasiddha too (natural, true and established in Ātman).

ಜೀವನ ಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಏನು? ಎನ್ನುವುದನ್ನರಿತು ನೆಲೆಮುಟ್ಟಿ ನಡೆಸುವ ಜೀವನವೇ ಮಹರ್ಷಿ ಜೀವನ. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂರ್ಣ ಶಾಂತಿಯನ್ನು ಕಾಣಬಹುದು. ಅಂತಹ ಜೀವನ, ಬಂಧನ ರಹಿತವಾದ ಜೀವನ.

ಮೂಲದವರೆಗೂ ಹೋಗಿ ಅದನ್ನು ಆಸ್ವಾದಿಸಬೇಕು. ಅಂತೆಯೇ ಮಹರ್ಷಿಗಳು ಕಂದಮೂಲದ ಆಸ್ವಾದನೆ ಮಾಡುವವರು. ಮೂಲವನ್ನು ತಿನ್ನುವುದೇ ಅವರ ಕೆಲಸ, ಊರ್ಧ್ವಮೂಲವಾಗಿರುವ ಜೀವನವೃಕ್ಷದ ಮೂಲವನ್ನೇರಿ ಅದನ್ನು ಆಸ್ವಾದಿಸುವವರು ಮಹರ್ಷಿಗಳು.

All rivers and rivulets ultimately reach the sea and end their journey. In the same way, all the Indriyas-Śrotas (senses and their streams) must necessarily merge somewhere; and that place is verily the state of Paramātman.

The Jīva that has emerged from Dev́  a should not drift away; this is possible only with the harmony of Tattvas (out of which the body is built). When seen from this poised perspective and with the compatibility among Tattvas that the Tīramāna (the decision about Life) is achieved. It is realized only when life is seen from the position of Deva.

ವಿಜ್ಞಾನಿಯು ಒಂದು ಆಟಂ ಅನ್ನು ಹೊಕ್ಕು ನೋಡುವಾಗ ಇದು ಎಲೆಕ್ಟ್ರಾನ್, ಇದು ಪ್ರೋಟಾನ್ ಎಂದು ಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯಚಕಿತನಾಗಿ ನೋಡುವಂತೆ, ಜ್ಞಾನವಿಜ್ಞಾನ ತೃಪ್ತಾತ್ಮರಾದ ಮಹರ್ಷಿಗಳು ತತ್ತ್ವಭೂಮಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮುಳುಗಿ ನೋಡಿ, ಆ ವಿಶ್ವರೂಪವಾಗಿ ಇರುವ ತತ್ತ್ವಕ್ಕೆ ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ ಮಾಡಿದರು.

ಎಲ್ಲ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಜೀವನಾಂಧಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಪ್ರಭಾಕರನಾದ ಯಾವ ಸ್ವಾಮಿಯುಂಟೋ ಅವನ ಪಾದವನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸುವ ವಾಹನವಾಗುವ ಪಕ್ಷದಲ್ಲಿ ತಾನೇ ಬದುಕು ಸಾರ್ಥಕವಾದೀತು. ಪೂರ್ಣನಾದ ಪರಮಾತ್ಮನನ್ನು ಕಂಡು ಅವನ ಕರಣಕಳೇಬರವಾಗಿ ಮಾಡುವ ಜೀವನವೇ ಪೂರ್ಣಜೀವನ.

A house is called "Vīḍu" (in Tamil). 'Vīḍu' also means 'Mokṣa'. Though a house appears like a bandhana (bondage), if viewed in the above spirit there is really no bandhana; in fact, it is Mokṣa (deliverance) itself. Again, the term "Vāsá  l" (in Tamil) means door. This is the door for Mokṣa too. It is also the door which opens for both Pravṛtti and Nivṛtti. If taken in this spirit it is good.

There is a method of viewing the Ātman himself in an infant. (Notice that) the Pati places his (Tapomaya) penance-filled seed in her; he thus conducts a Jñāna-Yajña and a Reto-Yajña with his Patni and therefore performs an act of bringing that which shines in the most subtle form to the gross form. Even as it manifests in the gross form, there is a method of perceiving the Ātma Bhāva in the baby, through the saying 'Ātmā vai putra nāmāsi' (Ātman  has manifested as a child), without in the least diminishing the Para Bhāva.

ಪೂರ್ಣಾಯುಸ್ಸು ಎಂದರೆ ನೂರಾರು ವರ್ಷ ಪೂರ್ತಿ ಬದುಕುವುದೆಂದಲ್ಲ. ಈಶ್ವರದತ್ತ ಸೌಖ್ಯವಾದ ಧರ್ಮ, ಅರ್ಥ, ಕಾಮ ಮತ್ತು ಮೋಕ್ಷಗಳೆಂಬ ನಾಲ್ಕು ಪುರುಷಾರ್ಥಗಳನ್ನೂ ಅನುಭವಿಸಿದ ಪೂರ್ಣ ಸುಖದ ಜೀವನ ನಾಲ್ಕು ದಿವಸವಿದ್ದರೂ ಅವನದು ಪೂರ್ಣಾಯುಷ್ಯವೇ. ಅದಿಲ್ಲದ ಜೀವನ ಕುಂದಿನ ಜೀವನ. ಅಪೂರ್ಣ ಜೀವನ.

It is not true that a Gṛhastha (house-holder) is not entitled for Mokṣa (liberation). Mokṣa is certainly possible if one adheres to the code prescribed for a Gṛhastha. This Gṛhastha-Āśrama supports all the other Āśramas (stages of life-Brahmacarya, Vānaprastha and Sanyāsa). Just as varieties of birds live by taking refuge on a tree, so also people of all Āśramas seek the support in Gṛhastha- Āśrama.

This Pṛthvi Kṣetra in the form of mother-hood becomes a 'gateway' for the manifestation of the Will of the Lord's seed called Satya. Should we (the couples) wish to be called as citizens in this domain of the Supreme Lord and if we wish to live according to the dictum: "Yathā rājā tathā prajāḥ" then we should infuse ourselves with the divine treasure of the Lord.
