JivanMukthi

Shishya : Reveared Guru, can you please explain me what is Mukthi ?

Guru: Getting away from the cycle of birth and death is Mukthi.

Shishya: I am born once and I die once, where is the question of escaping from it ? Please explain me !

Guru: When you confine your self to this body, it is very diffult to understand. You are not this body, you are the atman, the self, within you. As Sri Krishna said in Bhagavad Gita,

InAction and AVidhya

Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4, instructs the qualities of a self realized man, saying "One who can see action in inaction and inaction in action is the truly liberated soul".

Ishopanishad, in one of its mantra (Refer previous post) goes on to explore that "Those who worship avidhya enter darkness and those who verily worship vidhya enters deeper darkness."

Above statements should be pointing out to the same philosophy, for some reason the deeper physcological meaning is not coming out very clearly. May be its an experience which has to be experience by individuals and cannot be thought with the limited vocabulary available.

I remember that I had read somewhere that all these scriptures have been left obscure for individuals to explore themselves as they cannot be taught !!!!! (I think its Sri Aurobindo in his book "Synthesis of Yoga")
