Sri Ramakrishna’s Divine Descent, Part 2 #304

Utilizing the spiritual cult classic book entitled The Avahut & His 24 Teachers in Nature (also available in the book cover category free of text), this chart superimposes over it two powerful advaitic teachings on the nature of the Great Self, or Paramatman. How to describe Its infinite vastness, all-penetrating presence, and unparalleled glory? It is simply not possible. It must be realized in deepest contemplation that results is Ananda, transcendental Bliss. But a ready supply of profound words about It will help the individual, as well as the minds of others — friends, sangha, children -- to get a taste of It’s incomparable presence. From there Its inner force will do the rest over time.

There is immense beauty and poetry abiding in the otherwise presumed sterility, or the presupposed emptiness, of that great principle seers and seekers call Nonduality. A step by step figuring of the process of the dissolving of human ignorance under the powerful press of advaitic reasoning is one of those beauties, and it is pure poetry, philosophically speaking. Striving souls seldom see this transformation happening to them. That marvel is reserved for the teachers, gurus, and acharyas of these adamant seekers. A clear explanation of this is to be seen on this dharmic wisdom chart, that outlines fourteen pillars of ultimate progress in the world’s finest living philosophy. To quote Vivekananda, whose image graces this revealing chart, “On planes physical, ethical, and spiritual, an ever-broadening generalization — leading up to a concept of Unity Eternal — is in the air; and this being so, all the movements of the time may be taken to represent, knowingly or unknowingly, the noblest philosophy of the unity of man ever had — the Advaita Vedanta.”
