Pranam to Parampoojya Parameshwar Sadguru Swami Anilji Maharaj
Shatpanchashika Stotra… 8
(Based on the discourse in Hindi by Parampoojya Swami Anilji Maharaj)
In the eleventh Shloka Paramguru Vasudevanand Saraswati Maharaj, is explaining very important principle of Vedant that, “In reality there is neither existence of bondage nor Emancipation.”
“Kootastha
sachchidananda tanorbandhavimochane l Putrasya jatibandhaya iva janmostavatyayou ll11ll”
Infertile woman can not have her own son. The festivities for the birth of son of infertile woman is nothing but a falsehood and imagination. Saraswati Maharaj is telling that similarly the bondages binding Jeevatma and Liberation from them is imaginary. There is no binding and there is no Liberation.
“Vacharambhanmatram chittanou vishvam n chaparam ll Vastavantaram Yatha dhwante rajou sarpavisarpam ll12ll”
In this twelfth Shloka P. P. Maharaj is emphasizing non existence of the world itself. In Shrimadbhagavatgita also, in Chapter 15, Shloka 3 Bhagwan Shrikrishna tells Arjun that, when you deeply contemplate and rationalise you do not find world is existing. Maharaj is explaining the fallacy of appearance of the world using the famous principle of Adhyas – misconception (Actual thing appearing differently)
During the twilight of evening we are not able to see things clearly from a distance. At that time some one takes a piece of rope lying on the road for a snake and gets extremely frightened. In reality there is no snake there. Snake which is seen by the person is entirely false. Similarly this world is only illusion of the mind. The world is not existing in reality.
It is only delusion. Maharaj is saying that world is only like a pronunciation of a word, it is not a reality.
