Ribhu
Gita - Chapter 26, Verse 41-45
-
Pure and impure thoughts are a feature of the mind. There are no
wandering thoughts in the Supreme Being. Therefore, abide as That and,
free from the pure and impure thoughts of the mind, remain still like a
stone or a log of wood. You will then be always happy.
-
By constantly thinking of the undifferentiated Supreme Being and
forgetting thereby all thoughts, including the thought of the Supreme
Being, you will become the all-comprehensive Supreme Being. Even a great
sinner who hears and understands this teaching will get rid of all his
sins and become the undifferentiated Supreme Being.
-
The endless textbooks of spiritual instruction have already prescribed
meditation for attaining purity of mind. In order that those who have
become pure in mind may easily attain liberation and, realizing that
they are absolute and boundless Bliss, remain still like a stone in the
undifferentiated and all-comprehensive Supreme Formless God, the nature
of this immaculate state has been expounded by me.
-
Therefore, attaining purity of mind by constantly thinking that
everything that is known is the Supreme Being and that Supreme Being is
oneself, and thereafter abiding in the state of complete identity with
the Absolute Reality, liberation can be attained here and now. I have
spoken the truth. In this manner, Sage Ribhu expounded the true and full
state of being to Nidagha.
-
When one is convinced that one is always That which is
Existence-Consciousness-Bliss and abides as That in a state of complete
identity, one casts off the unreal bondage of identification with birth
and death and attains liberation. This is the significance of the highly
blissful mood and dance of our Supreme and undifferentiated God.
