Distinction between The Self And The Not-Self
73. Progressive Realisation Of The Supreme Self
29. Thus we have to realise God progressively as the Witness, the Permitter, the Supporter, the Experiencer, and finally as the Supreme Lord. ‘उपद्रष्टानुमंता च भर्ता भोक्ता महेश्वरः-’ To recapitulate, the Lord is at first a silent spectator. He encourages us when we ascend to the moral plane and start doing good deeds. When our efforts are found inadequate to remove subtle impurities in our minds and and we pray to Him, He rushes to help us. We should then dedicate the fruit of our actions to Him and let Him be the enjoyer thereof. And finally, we should surrender to Him the right to make resolves, and let our whole life be suffused with Him. This is man’s ultimate goal. A seeker is to reach this goal soaring on the two wings of karmayoga and bhaktiyoga. |
