In plain words
The fear of sin is gone; on earth wrongdoing has become the custom; devotion to Śrīpati is gone; evil deeds past all describing have come upon the world. That refuge of the host of ascetics, Śrīpati: the thought of His Name alone brings happiness, O man!
Embodiments of Prema! This whole world of the moving and the unmoving, made up of what is seen, is called by the name ‘prapañca’. The prapañca is the very form of the five elements. The divine, splendid principle of the Ātma is not seen by the eye. What the eye sees, what the mind senses, what delights the heart, what carries you out of yourself: these are the five elements themselves. When you understand their principle, man himself becomes Mādhava.
In the Gāyatrī Mantra there are the words “Bhūr bhuvas suvaḥ”. “Bhūḥ” is the form of material things. This has been called ‘materialisation’. “Bhuvaḥ” has to do with air. This has been called ‘vibration’. And the third is “suvaḥ”. This alone is the supreme Jñāna. This itself has been called ‘radiation’. This morning the pandit spoke about Dakṣiṇāmūrti, did he not! Dakṣiṇāmūrti is none other than the embodiment of supremely sacred Jñāna!
The four mahāvākyas
The four Vedas teach the world four mahāvākyas. They are “Prajñānaṃ brahma”, “Ayam ātmā brahma”, “Ahaṃ brahmāsmi” and “Tat tvam asi”. What does Prajñāna mean? Is it book learning? Or the experience one goes through with the body? No, no. This Prajñāna is none other than the stream of Jñāna that flows in you at all times and in every state. Many call it Supreme Knowledge. But that is not a fitting name for it. Constant Integrated Awareness alone is its right name. It knows no change and is not put together.
