 Nirvaanavaan Nirmananah

Kshinachittah Prashantadhih,

Anthah Sarva Parityagee

Wahir Kuru Yathaagatam. (5.22)

 

Being in the existential state of extinction of ‘I-ness’ as also being in the domain of ‘no-mind’ or ‘no-I’, one can be available only to a ‘faint-I’ or a ‘mellowed-mind’ (just for co-ordination of activities in the technical area of functions). Thus one can have the intellect in the dimension of profound peace. Then one can remain totally detached in the inner being and yet perform as required in the outward world of normal life-style.

 

Shaanta Eva Chidaakaashey

Brahmeti Shabdite Parey,

Kechit Nirneeya Shunyatwam

Kechit Vigyaanamaatrataam. (5.20)

 

In the profound and peaceful empty space of inner being-ness, transcending the network of words and other affirmations (through subtle verbalization) such as ‘Brahma’, some conceptualize ‘That-ness’ as ‘zero-ness’ while some others may refer to ‘That’ as un-knowable or as a state of ‘not-knowing’.

 

Kechit Ishwara Rupatwam

Vivadante Parasparam,

Sarvameva Parityajya

Mahaamouni Bhavaanagha. (5.21)

 

And still others dabble in debates about the many possible forms of the 'Formless' and thus run into various icons – gratifying and assuring.

But what is important, oh my dear beloved one, is to be available to Supreme Silence abandoning all stupid activities of the separative and illusory entity called “I”!

 

Let us now humbly recite an invocation to Dakshinaamurti – a legendary sage who was capable of transferring his inner perceptions to his disciples without any verbalization, just by remaining in deep devotional Silence.

 

Om Namah Pranabaarthaaya

Suddha Gyaanaika Murtaye,

Nirmalaaya Prasaanthaya

Dakshinaamurtaye Namah.

 

Humble obeisance to Omkar and to the essence of the ‘Sound of Silence' as also to the purest personification of the wisdom of ‘not-knowing’. And Sacred Salutation to sage Dakshinaamurti – who is uncontaminated by psyche and is held in unabated Silence.

 

 

Jai Yoga Vasishtha
