The Fifth Vakyam- Bhashyam contd...

The fifth Vakyam is as follows:

As you are in realization you will just “be”; all pervasive, Ubiquitous, Effulgent, For-ever, in Peace, Harmony, and Absolute Bliss. 

Getting into yoga and in that "conscious realization" that you are none other than Him, is not akin to say winning a title and rejoicing in a celebratory mood. This is a stage which is beyond the comprehension of both mind and words. 

I am reminded of the Child Krishna’s leela enthralling everyone in Brindavan and especially mother Yashodha within their capacity to understand/perceive His self-effulgent grandeur. 

The child is one day caught along with other children, stealing butter and filling his mouth full, and brought before Yashoda. In that innocent childish way the Lord replies that he had done nothing wrong and had really not partaken any butter. Yashoda then asks the child to open its mouth, so that she can convince herself, and then “IT” happens.  With Krishna’s abundant Grace on her, Yashoda gets to see within the child’s open mouth the entire “creation”.

Yashoda as she peeps into that open mouth, witnesses the Lords Vishwaroopa, the entire Universe, its stars, along with every one of His creation, all being a part of Him, even as she sees her own Brindavan, her house, and her child with an open mouth. 

Knowing that this will be too much for her to behold for long, this vision lasts for a very brief moment and Yashoda is back to the unreal reality. She sees her child just in front of her with an open mouth and empty. What can this poor mother do? She is overwhelmed with Love as she hugs her child in that typical motherly embrace.   

Is it at all possible that anyone can describe Yashoda’s experience of those few moments? Similarly in that ultimate stage of “Yoga Roodah” when You Realize that you are none other than the Lord himself, is it possible for even you to put it down in words for ordinary folks like me to imagine that I can fathom unless I have Your Grace? 

And in that stage of knowing that the entire Drama is your own creation, is it possible to imagine that you would dismantle the whole set, say pack-off, and re-merge everybody back into your own fold in that non-dual “Oneness”, just to satisfy mine or the so called rationalist gang with their misunderstood notions about “compassion”?

No Sir, having understood (for want of a better word) that this “creation” is just an illusion, the only thing possible is that you will  let everything “be” and you will also continue to “BE” without in any way disturbing the  scheme of things. 

“Realization” is the only truth, is the only goal of our Human lives. Rest is illusion.!!!!!!

May God shower his Love like he did to Yashoda and countless others to be able get “there” in realization and “be”. 

Love

Vichu.
