Meditations on Transcendence

 Its life Everyday struggle navigating thru conflicts Swimming in the waves to stay afloat Where is the shelter? Where is the resort? The adhyatma, all pervading universal spirit trying to connect is a practice Go to a new area Pickup the laddle churn for ideas in spirit domain And write to manifest The world evolves continuously, 'jagat' Technology evolves and roadmaps exist Its in movement, flow Providing a so called better experience Technology is evolving at frenetic pace keeping pace is mental misery and unhappiness depression on the rise, so are suicides Its a paradox What about technology of bliss?

  mama yonir mahad brahma tasmin garbhaṁ dadhāmy aham sambhavaḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ tato bhavati bhārata The total material substance, called Brahman(yonir), is the source of birth , and it is that Brahman that I impregnate(dadhamy) , making possible (sambhavah) the births(bhavati) of all living beings, O son of Bharata. Here it is telling about the source of birth, the mulam, the root from where everything begins, everything is created.

Amazing benefits of just fixing oneself in uttama jnana  If one takes shelter of some knowledge, one can attain to the nature of God qualitatively and one is not disturbed by the creation and dissolution; the word sadharmyam is amazing because the word dharma means nature and sadharmyam means godly nature, so by taking shelter if uttama jnana one can attain to godly divine nature and the charecteristic factor of divine nature is atma ramatva - always content and ecstactic in one own self idaṁ jñānam upāśritya mama sādharmyam āgatāḥ sarge ’pi nopajāyante pralaye na vyathanti ca By becoming fixed in this knowledge, one can attain to the transcendental nature like My own.
