अध्याय ८

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

जें आतांचि सांगितलें होतें I अगा अधियज्ञ म्हणितला जयातें I जे आदीचि तया मातें I जाणोनि अंतीं II 59 II
ते देह झोळ ऐसें मानुनी I ठेले आपणपें आपण होउनी I जैसा मठ गगना भरुनी I गगनींचि असे II 60 II
ये प्रतीतीचिया माजघरीं I तया निश्चयाची वोवरी I आली म्हणोनि बाहेरी I नव्हेचि से II 61 II
ऐसें सबाह्य ऐक्य संचलें I मीचि होऊनि असतां रचिलें I बाहेरि भूतांचीं पाचही खवलें I नेणतांचि पडिलीं II 62 II
आतां उभयां उभेपण नाहीं जयाचें I मा पडिलिया गहन कवण तयाचें I म्हणोनि प्रतीतीचिये पोटींचें I पाणी न हाले II 63 II
ते ऐक्याचि आहे वोतिली I कीं नित्यतेचिया हृदयीं घातली I जैसीं समरससमुद्रीं धुतली I रुळेचि ना II 64 II
पैं अथावीं घट बुडाला I तो आंतबाहेरी उदकें भरला I पाठीं दैवगत्या जरी फुटला I तरी उदक काय फुटे II 65 II
ना तरी सर्पें कवच सांडिलें I कां उबारेनें वस्त्र फेडिलें I तरी सांग पां काय मोडलें I अधेवामाजीं II 66 II
तैसा आकार हाआहाच भ्रंशे I वांचूनि वस्तु ते सांचलीचि असे I तेचि बुद्धि जालिया विसुकुसे I कैसेनि आतां II 67 II
म्हणोनि यापरी मातें I अंतकाळीं जाणत सांते I जे मोकलिती देहातें I ते मीचि होती II 68 II

"A house confines a space within it, yet is a part of space on the outside. Similarly for those who recognize Me as Adhiyadnya from beginning to end consider their body as merely a bag and live inside out of it as a manifestation of Bramha, the Supreme Reality. The core experience of realizing Brahman, the Ultimate Reality or Supreme Consciousness signifies a state of spiritual awakening where one transcends the limitations of the individual self and identifies with the all-encompassing, eternal Brahman. In this way becoming one, merging with the Supreme Consciousness makes the scales of the Panchmahabhutas' on the outside drop down without their knowing. They are already beyond the realm of Panchmahabhutas' or body. But this doesn't affect their Supreme Realization of their true nature as being one with Bramha. This experience is like an idol of becoming one fitted in the frame of constancy, the unchanging nature of the KNOWLEDGE of Self amidst the changing world. The ocean of becoming one cleanses the dirt of the mental weaknesses kama (lust/desire), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), moha (attachment/delusion), mada (pride/arrogance), and matsarya (jealousy) completely.
The pot dipped in water has water in its inside as well as outside. If the pot breaks, does it mean water also breaks? When snakes shed their skin, it doesn't harm their internal organs. Taking off one's clothes due to hot weather doesn't harm their body. Similarly body known by its shape and name withers, but the all encompassing, All Pervading Bramha remains unchanged. So is the intellect that becomes Bramha itself merging with it. And therefore those who remember Me while quitting their body attain Me."
