Pranam to Parampoojya Parameshwar Sadguru Swami Anilji Maharaj
Paramamrut
(English Translation of the Audio series in Marathi by Brahmatmaikyadhnyani Sadguru Swami Anilji Maharaj)
Mandate of Kenopnishad (8)
“Ytpranen n praniti yen pranaha praniyate l Tadev Brahm tvam viddhi nedam yadidamupasate ll8ll”
How is our Pran (Life). It is with Vayu (Gas). Life goes on with breathing. This gaseous life is within our nostrils. Pranayam, which is breathing exercises may provide you with better health, super natural powers but can not take you to Paramatma. One who empowers breathing, inspires breathing, bestows consciousness, All Knower is Paramatma.
These Shlokas of Kenopnishad have been explained for you to get some idea about Paramatma. All other dual means told in Shastras are only for diverting your attention from the worldly life full of problems for some time to get the mental peace and eventual orientation towards search for Paramatma. One might have done dual means of worship prayers throughout the life right from childhood, however when one gets matured with age and the family responsibilities reduce then there is wisdom in shifting towards knowing the Nondual Paramatma. One needs to come out of the emotional bond with dual means of worship prayers etc. These Shlokas clearly shows that the deity you are worshipping is not actually like what your emotional mindset is. Ishwar, Parmatma is entirely different. The path of Dhnyan is the only way to reach out to Paramatma. This is the Dhnyan path Sugway is following.
