अध्याय ८
II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
पैं गा आम्हीं तुज I सकळ यज्ञ कर्मज I सांगितलेंकां जें काज I मनीं धरूनि II 46 II
तो हा सकळ जीवांचा विसांवा I नैष्कर्म्यसुखाचा ठेवा I परि उघण करूनि पांडवा I दाविजत असे II 47 II
पहिलें वैराग्यइंधनपरिपूर्ती I इंद्रियानळीं प्रदीप्तीं I विषयद्रव्याचिया आहुती I देऊनियां II 48 II
मग वज्रासन तेचि उर्वी I शोधूनि आधारमुद्रा बरवी I वेदिका रचे मांडवीं I शरीराच्या II 49 II
तेथ संयमाग्नींचीं कुंडें I इंद्रियद्रव्याचेनि पवाडें I यजिजती उदंडें I युक्तिघोषें II 50 II
मग मनप्राणसंयमु I हाचि हवनसंपदेचा संभ्रमु I येणें संतोषविजे निर्धूमु I ज्ञानानळु II 51 II
ऐसेनि हें सकळ ज्ञानीं समर्पे I मग ज्ञान तें ज्ञेयीं हारपे I पाठीं ज्ञेयचि स्वरूपें I निखिल उरे II 52 II
तया नांव गा अधियज्ञु I ऐसें बोलिला जंव सर्वज्ञु I तंव अर्जुन अतिप्राज्ञु I तया पातलें तें II 53 II
"Keeping this in mind I have told you before that all yadnyas' are born from Karma. Adhiyadnya is revealing a state of tranquility and quietude encompassing a broader sense of inner peace to all the Jeeva's (individual souls). It is a bliss attained by realizing one's true nature as Brahma, the Absolute or Supreme Reality. It's a state of profound peace, freedom from suffering, and identification with the eternal, unchanging reality.
With the dispassion as the fuel, lighting the fire of the senses, offerings of attachment to the senses are made into sacrificial fire (yadnya). On a pure ground, sitting in Vajrasan pose combining the physical posture of Vajrasan with the energetic practice of Mula Bandha.
In the Yadnya Kunda of
restraining the senses from their objects and preventing them from being carried away by desires and attachments, assuming 'Tribandha-Sadhan' offerings of subjects of the senses are made amidst the constant chanting.
(Yadnya Kunda is a physical pit or cavity used as a fire altar used specifically for performing Yadnya which are fire sacrifices.)
(Tri-Bandha is a physical and energetic technique that involves three specific body locks: Jalandhara Bandha (chin lock), Uddiyana Bandha (abdominal lock), and Mula Bandha (anal lock). These locks are used to regulate energy flow within the body.)
Then with the mind and the control of the life force that are the best of the substances for fire rituals, there is the 'smokeless fire of KNOWLEDGE'. It is the purifying power of Wisdom and understanding, which can cleanse the mind and lead to liberation, much like fire burns away impurities. It is a metaphor for the process of spiritual enlightenment, where the "smoke" represents the obstacles and impurities of the material world, while the "fire" symbolizes the transformative power of the KNOWLEDGE.
With a complete offering of oneself, including mind, heart, and will to KNOWLEDGE, the KNOWLEDGE merges into the object of KNOWLEDGE.
When the individual attains true KNOWLEDGE, they transcend the limitations of the physical body and senses. They realize that the individual consciousness is not separate from the Supreme Consciousness, and the distinction between the knower and the object of KNOWLEDGE dissolves. This merging is described as a state of liberation, where the individual attains divine nature and becomes one with the Supreme Self.
The object of KNOWLEDGE is called 'Adhiyadnya' said Lord Krishna, the Knower of All."
