MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.60

MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.60
Radhe krishna,
Supravat.Have a blessed day,

NETI NETI DOCTRINE
Swami Sivananda
One should realise the identity or oneness of the individual soul and Supreme Soul (Jiva-Brahman Aikyata) by means of the Mahavakhyas (great sentences of the Upanishads), after eliminating all limiting adjuncts (Upadhis like mind, Buddhi, senses, Prana, body etc.) with the help of Sruti Vakhya, ' not-this ' ' not-this ' (Neti-Neti.) The body, senses and other objects of perception are the imaginary products of ignorance and are perishable as the bubbles. The Atman that is Pure and distinct from these should be understood as ' I am Brahman.' As I am distinct from the body (which is Jada and Drishya i.e. insentient and perceptible by the eyes), birth, old age, decay, death etc., are not for me.

  Thus, the wise sadhaka, the earnest seeker, understanding that the divine science is also a science governed by precise laws and conditions which if fulfilled yield results, is never perturbed and never gives up. Calmly, patiently, perseveringly and continuously one keeps up the effort that leads to realisation. Thus, one should relate oneself to this divine science as a person of faith and a person who is a yogi. Because, the hallmark of yoga is abhyasa; repeated, continuous effort is the inner svarupa of yoga. 
Swami  Chidananda.

In Indian theological systems or epistemological analysis, it has been discovered that the very consciousness of an object, even if it be the simple consciousness of an insignificant thing in the world, is a universal phenomenon.
