End Superimposition---the Means

v End Superimposition---the Means(277-292)

v Being ever    fixed on his  own Self, the meditator’s   mind   ends.  Then there   is  a  complete  cessation  of vasanas. So negate  entirely your   superimposition (277)

v  Tamas is   destroyed both by Rajas   and Sattwa; Rajas by Sattwa and Sattwa   is  destroyed  on “purification”.  Therefore,  solely  depending  upon  Sattwa, deny  entirely  your  superimposition.(278)  The  Vasanas  of every   individual  fall  under   the   three   categories  of  Tamas,  Rajas and Sattwa. When  the mind  becomes purer,  the Sattwa  vasanas   too   get   exhausted.

v  “ I  am  not  the jeeva, I  am the  supreme Brahman”… thus by  eliminating   all  that  is   not-Self,, deny  entirely your  superimpositions  which  manifest   through  the  propulsion  of  your  past “urges”(280)

v  Having   realised  your  own Self  to be the “Self-  in-  all” through  scriptures,  by  reasoning  and   from your  own  experience, deny  entirely  your   superimpositions,  even  when  a  slight trace  appears(281)

v  Till the identification    with   the  body is completely  rooted out,   with  vigilance  and   concentration, deny  entirely  all  your superimpositions(284)

v   O learned one, as   long   as  even  a dreamlike  perception of the  world of objects and  of experiencing  ego (jeeva), continuously  strive   to deny  entirely  all your superimpositions(285)

v  Without   giving  even the  slightest  chance   to  forget the Atman  because of  sleep(unawareness),matters   of the  world  or sense-objects, reflect   steadily  upon the Self  in  the  mind(286)

v  Merging the finite  ego  in  the Supreme  Self, like the pot-space  in  the infinite  space, by meditating  on  their  identity ,be for  ever  peaceful, O Sage(288)

v  Yourself  becoming the Self-luminous  Brahman,  the  sole  substratum of  all things, reject the macrocosm and  microcosom,  like two unclean  parcels(289)

v  Shifting   your  identification which  is  now fixed  in   the  body  to  the Atman  which is  Existence- Knowledge-Bliss  Absolute,  rejecting   the   subtle body, may  you  become, ever the  pure Self  alone(290)

v  Attaining  that  which  is  intrinsically one’s  Essence, which  is  Absolute Knowledge and  Bliss, Non-dual, which  is beyond  all forms  and  activities, one should cease identifying  with   the  false body ,like the actor  who  relinquishes his  dress and make-up(292)

v  The  Perceived “I”—Factor--- False(293-297)

Ø  The objective world is quite unreal. Neither is the  ego real,for it is seen   to be fleeting. How then can the  apparent  “I know all” be true of the ego etc. which  are momentary?(293)

Ø  But the real ”I” witnesses the ego etc.It is always there, even in  deep sleep.”It is unborn, Eternal”,says Sruti. Different, therefore, from the  gross and the subtle is Parmatman.(294)

Ø  That which   is   the  Knower  of   all changes   in  all things which   are liable to change, must doubtless be Eternal and Changeless. Again and   again, the unreality  of the  gross and the  subtle bodies is clearly perceived in  one’s  fancy, dream and deep  sleep(295)

Ø  Therefore, reject your identification   with this mass of flesh  and   with the  ego or the subtle body. Of which   are the imaginations of the intellect. By   realising   your own  Self which is Absolute Knowledge, which cannot be denied in the three periods of  time (Past, Present and  Future), attain to the  state of Supreme Peace(296)

Ø  Renounce your identification with the  family, lineage, name, form and order in  life—attributes of the body,  which  is like a foul corpse. So  too, .--  subtle body. Thus, become the very  essence of  Absolute Bliss(297)
