Mature Renunciation in 4 Phases #137
Though the great and powerful nondual scripture titled Jivanmukti-Viveka is really a study for monks, sannyasins, and world-renouncers, it nevertheless holds several important teachings for intermediate seekers and householders as well. One of them, fleshed out on this dharma art wisdom chart for scrutiny, reveals a four-staged way of proceeding towards the Goal of highest samadhi, called seedless or nondual. Thus, the very difficult task of reaching Enlightenment is put in such a way that leaves no uncertainty about what needs to be attained for undertaking the ultimate spiritual journey.
Synchronicity of Iti-Iti & Neti-Neti #191
Those fortunate souls who arrive at the darshana of Vedanta in this age, which was freshly reintroduced on earth by Swami Vivekananda starting in 1893, hear several main teachings of import right at the start. One of these cites the discipline of neti neti, which asks the aspirant to look at every element, detail, and object in life, and say to the self, “I am not this; I am not this.” Withdrawal from all that in changing then settles into the mind, and the wonderful station of “Iti Iti,” I am all this; I am all this,” in a newly matured way, is realized. In other words, once the naivete of thinking oneself to be matter is taken away by the practice of neti neti, the soul then perceives Brahman in everything. Then, “Tat Tvam Asi — That Thou Art — is the welcome result.
Lack of Spiritual Success & Its Causes #100
A common occurrence and complaint among aspiring sadhikas and practitioners, in every age, is the lack of any appreciable progress along the path, sometimes even in the face of an active and ongoing spiritual practice. In the Vivekachudamani, Shankara takes this problem to task for the benefit of sincere seekers after Enlightenment. Most often it is an unclear or distorted perspective that hampers advancement, so the seeker, obtaining right guidance from the preceptor, must look both backwards and inwards to effect a solution. Then, and as long as the courage of one’s convictions remains steady and long-lived, certain signs appear that allow the practitioner to move forward with all assurance. All of this, and more is outlined in Shankara’s indepth scrutiny of all aspects surrounding this problem.
Cutting through False Superimposition #124
The Sanskrit word, viveka, is of utmost importance today, at least for the sincere spiritual aspirant who is serious about attaining freedom in this very life. Discernment of the spiritual variety is what turns the ordinary pathway of religious convention into a broad avenue of inner communion. Common devotion to God is transformed into an ecstatic relationship with the Divine if viveka is present in the human mind. And as this dharma chart shows, discrimination of this kind should be applied to all stages and levels of life, like action and inaction. Then only will the obscuring clouds of false superimposition, called vivarta, part and dissolve, leaving the even-minded seeker fully at rest in all modes of existence.
