GnAnam ( Knowledge) , the purifier

What is knowledge? According to Gita, how? Knowledge purifies the Self???

The knowledge which compraises of few pure personality traits modifies an ordinary 

Person to a pure personality.  In Kshetra Kshetragna vibhaga yoga, Lord  clearly mentions  what is Knowledge. 

Purity of heart can be attained only by true knowledge and by knowledge of truth.

Rightuous  qualities which mend one to a pure soul are given below...

Humility( Pridelessness ), non violence, freedom from hypocrecy, forbearance , stright forward ness ,dispassion towards worldly enjoyments,  dittachment towards worldly attachments like

Son,wife,house, equanimity , unflinching devotion towards Almighty, love towards  solitude.,

Mind oriented towards spirituality and self- realisation, internal &external purity. All these traits,

Practiced Together  develop a person to  a pure personality.  A pure heart automatically sees

the Lightof Truth in the Self.  How?..?. Rightuous qualities burn away all sins accumulated in

the heart and modifies one to a Pure Self. GnAnam formed by the above pure qualities cleans 

The sins, purifies the Self, directing one's self towards God-realisation.

                         " yadheighamsi samiddhognir  bhasmAth  kuruthErjuna 

                       GnAnAgnihi SarvakarmANi  bhasmAth kuruthE thadaa "

As a blazing fire turns fuel to ashes, Arjuna! Similarly  the Fire of Knowledge turns all actions to ashes. On earth no purifier is as powerful as knowledge.

Through a prolonged practice of these virtuous qualities, one attains the absolute pure heart

And experiences the ParaBrahman in a light form.  Says Gita.

Virtuous ness is not that easy to acquire.

Regular practice, perseverance , unflinching faith in God r the qualities required to attain absolute purity.

Think good, see good, hear good, act good. Manasa, vacha, karmaNa, one should be Good.

That's all , u will be purified and set ready to realise God.

   

                                 Om tat sath.

All are equal to Almighty.

Our smruthies , vEdas and Upanishaths  praise The  almighty as  GuNatheethaha,  non-dual natured Entity, bhavAteetha, an all in one entity, which is beyond our normal perception.  God is devoid of Pleasure and pain, happyness and sorrow, likes and dislikes,passion and dispassion, love and hatred, strength and weakness, etc..... 

Duel nature is a salient feature of any  human but not of God.

But " God" is so much unconceivable to our brains, that we cannot imagin the 

Macro form of That.Unimaginable  NirguNa, nirAkAra swaroopam is God's unique quality. All beings are equal to God, because of this Non dual nature,

The imperishable Supreme Lord abides equally in everybody ,and in all beings.

                        Samam pasyanhi sarvathra samavasthitha meeswaram

                         Nahi nasthyathma nathmAnAm  thathO yanthi parAm gat him.

The above mentioned sloka explains, that, The Lord abiding equally Everywhere, in 

Every being with a neutral feeling,will never perish,. "Saman, sathowcha, mithrEchaa.

            

                   Samam sarvaEshu bhoothEshu thistantham paramEswaram

                    Vinasyathswa   Vinasyantham yah pasyathi sa pasyathi.

The imperishable among the perishable existing everywhere in everybody  ,with an equality, when seen ,attains the Supreme goal. This sloka in KschEtra kshEthragna vibhaga yoga explains that God is impartial to all living beings.whosoever it may be,

Rich or poor, man or woman, animal or human, beautiful or ugly,old or young,.....

In bhagavatham,there r many anecdotes which exemplify this nature of neutrality.

Kuchela, (a poor childhood friend of Krishna ),Kubja (an ugly devotee of Sri Rama),

Sabari (an old lady devotee  of SriRama ),GajEndra (an elephant, a great Bhakta of 

Lord SriRama ), Jatau ( an ordent Bhakta of  lord Sri Rama who lost  his  wings while fighting against RavaNa, when Ravana was kidnapping Sita mai ) are all blessed by

Almighty because of their  unflinching Bhakti , but not of their Stature.  

So, Any living being can become Lord's beloved, if his/her  mind totally surrendered 

to Almighty. All r equal to God;  No discrimination of Stature, age ,looks, riches etc.

      

                   Yo mam pasyathi sarvathra sarvacha mayi pasyathi

                    Thasmaham. Na praNasyAmi sa cha mE na praNasyathi.

"He who sees Me everywhere and sees all things  in Me, does not loose sight of Me, nor do I of  him." Here, the simplest way to get  Almighty's attention is advised. Always Think About God, believe Him, totally surrender to Lord, definitely  u get His 

Attention. No doubt in it. That all pervading Supremepower considers only ur Bhakti,

And blesses u. No other  Entity is accounted here, to become His beloved. 

We r all deluded at birth by the deception due to the pairs of opposites which arise out of desire and aversion.

" Those of virtuous actions freed  from the delution of dualities, worship Me with firmness of  vow Will surely enter into Me."  Says Lord Krishna, in GnAna vignana yoga.

            "  He who worships Me residing in all beings in Spirit of Unity. Becomes Yogi,

And whatever may be his mode of life, lives in Me."

Hence, Lord is said to be Impartial to His bhaktas and takes care of them considering their Bhakti.

                All r equal to Almighty, no discrimination of dualities.

                 He is Samam  sthanam.

                          

                                                    Om tat sath.

Om tat sat

This word "om tat sat" is used as an emblem word in spiritual science.

Om"  means, the designation of God. In fact,"  om" itself is God. Any act prescribed by Vedas, either a sacrifice or any austerity or any gift, if done while uttering the word "Om", always begins well and results well. The syllable "om"works as a 

Purifier.    "   Om ithYEkaksharam brahma vyAharaNmamanusmaran "

"Om"  sanctifies anything, brings divinity to any action ,by enforcing pious ness to it.

This is the reason why every Mantra is spelled along with this great sacred syllable 

"Om".

Tat means "that". Here "Tat" refers to Parabrahman .

Sath. means  "Truth". Sath is used to denote the existance of truth and goodness.

The word "sath", used along with any act turns the act to an auspecious  one.

When these three Sacred words joined together, form" om tat sath" which means

God is truth.   Yes, God is truth, truth is God.

             

                     Om tat satithi nirdEsO brahmaNasthrividhaha  smruthaha

                      BrahmaNastEna vEdAscha yagnAscha vihithAha pura

                  The above slok in Sraddhathraya vibhaga yoga says, 

      Om tat sath_is considered to be the threefold designation of  Parabrahman. 

The sacred word ,Sath ,when attached infront of any word, emphasises  goodness to that word.  SathbhAvana ,sathsangathi, sathbuddhi, sath gati,  etc are all  composed of an attributed goodness to that particular action.     The great sacred  utterance,

"Om tat sath"    Straightaway addresses  God, almighty ,the Parabrahman. This is why

Our ancient scriptures, Vedas, purANas, smruthies and upanishaths , all begin with 

"Om tat sath" and end with the same word "Om tat sath."

In Mantrapushpam, in the end it is said, 

Om tat brahma, Om tat vayuhu, Om tat Atma, Om tat Satyam, Om tat sarvam, Om tat PurO Namaha.

Spiritual Seekers of Liberation always utter "Om tat sath" before performing any spiritual act, besides Renunciating it's results.

This special sacred word refers to all Gods,either Rama or Krishna, Siva, or Vishnu.....

Om tat sath addresses the Ultimate Truth.

Om tat sath refers to that Supreme Consciousness.

Om tat sath connects to that Supreme Self.

Om tat sath  directs to that Supreme bliss.

Om tat sath  links to that supreme Atma, called Paramatma.

Om tat sath refers to that Supreme Mind.

Om tat sath, itself is Parabrahman .

Hence, it  is very favourable to utter this threefold designation of God,  at the beginning and ending of any act. It means ur sacrificing all results of that act to the

 Almighty.

                 

                              Om tat sath
