BHAGAVATHPADA SHAKARACHARYA'S DASHA SLOKI SAYS

BHAGAVATHPADA SHAKARACHARYA

SLOKA 7

 There is neither teacher nor scripture,nor pupil nor teaching,
nor you(the hearer) nor I( the speaker),nor this empirical
universe; for,the teaching of one's true nature(the 
consciousness of Reality) does not admit of differentiation.
 I am that One, Auspecious and Pure,that alone remains.

SLOKA 9

 All this universe, being other than the self,is unreal,
 for the self alone is all-inclusive,constitutes the  ultimate goal, 
 and is self established and self dependent. 

 I am that One, Auspecious and Pure,that alone remains.

BHAGVAN RAMANA MAHARSHI

Bhagavan: There is neither Past nor Future. There is only the 

Present. Yesterday was the present to you when you 

experienced it, and tomorrow will be also the present when you 

experience it. Therefore experience takes place only in the 

present, and beyond experience nothing exists.

Lady: Are then Past and Future mere imagination?

Bhagavan: Yes, even the Present is mere imagination, for the 

sense of time is purely mental. Space is similarly mental; 

therefore birth and rebirth, which take place in time and space 

cannot be other than imagination.

IN JEWEL GARLAND OF ENQUIRY(Vichara Mani Mala) - - 

Whatever is seen is the play of the intellect, which is 

the effect of nescience. Brahman illumines the 

intellect. This intellect projects its false imagination in 

states of waking, dreaming and merges in 

the nescience in the state of deep sleep.

Nothing came into existence in the past.Nor is there 
anything existing now. Nor will there be anything in
the future.Since the objects that are known do not 

(really) exist, the terms 'witness' and 'seer' are not 

applicable.

He who has known this and cast away the sense of 

duty is a Sage(jnani)

SRI SWAMI SIVANANDA

BIRTH & DEATH ARE TWO ILLUSORY SCENES

IN THE DRAMA OF THIS WORLD :

REALLY NO ONE IS BORN,NO ONE DIES,

NO ONE COMES, NO ONE GOES,

IT IS Maya's JUGGLERY,

IT IS PLAY OF THE MIND :

BRAHMAN ALONE EXISTS.

You saw a dream ,woke up in the morning & then

you think it was so realistic when it lasted but now 

it is of no importance because it is only a dream(mental projection without panchendriyas - Five senses).When 
you get JNANA(knowledge) same thing applies to waking state (mental projection associated with panchendriyas - ie, 
Five senses,is still more realistic),that it is not Real.

When manonasha(destruction of Mind) 
takes place(state of no ego) 

visible world, feeling that you are in a body 
vanishes.When min. ahankara(ego) is maintained,
required for the imagination of living by a JNANI
(Sage with knowledge) world is seen just like day 
time moon.
This is MOKSHA(Liberation) while living, not at the 
time of death as people wrongly believe..He is called 
JEEVANMUKTHA, sees Brahman in all & everything.

Concept that all your property goes to your 

children after your death is false.When there 

is no REAL world,where is Father,Mother,

Brothers,Sisters,Wife & Children? Mental 

projection takes place as per your Prarabda 

karma ie, matured portion of papa(sins) & Punya(good deeds) done in past births accompany in this birth to be exhausted in this birth before imagination of Death.

  

From birth till death everything takes place 

in mental plane & is not REAL.Swami Vivekananda
has also told the same thing in his 'JNANA YOGA'

When a person dies people say Athma left the 

body.Actually Sukshma & Karana Shariras 

(Pranamaya,monomaya,vijnanamaya &

Ananadamaya Koshas) ie, prana, mind,
intellct,cause of Avidya, move along with Athma, which means same mind & intellct
accompanies your Soul, birth after birth,

& another mental projection starts for another

birth,just like we change channels in TV.

For a person who has achieved Manonasha(destruction
of Mind) ie, Jeevanmuktha state his Athma merges with
Athma (only one ATHMA) & hence no more births or 
mental projection takes place ie,MOKSHA(Liberation).

For those worldly minded people above facts may
be difficult to digest but ADVAITHA Philosophy &
experience indicates they are correct.
