In
the article it has been said that God may be realized through seven types of
renunciation. Among them, it has been stated that the first five types of
renunciation indicate the first stage of Wisdom, renunciations upto the sixth
type indicate the marks of the second stage of Wisdom, and renunciations upto
the seventh type indicate the marks of the third stage of Wisdom. He, who
attains ripeness in the third stage of wisdom above, at once realizes God, the
embodiment of Existence, Knowledge and Bliss Thereafter he loses all connection
with this transient, destructible, impermanent world. Just as the person
awakened from a dream loses all connection with the dream-world, even so the
person awakened from the dream of ignorance loses all connection with the
impermanent world, the creation of Maya. Though from the point of view of the
world, all forms of activities are observed as taking place through the body of
that person under the force of Prarabdha, and the world gains a lot by such
activities, for being freed from desires, attachment and sense of doer-ship,
whatever the Mahatma does through his mind, speech and body becomes the
standard of right conduct in the world, and from the ideas of such a Mahatma
scriptures are formed, yet that person, who has realized Vasudeva, the
embodiment of Existence, Knowledge and Bliss, lives wholly beyond Maya,
consisting of the three Gunas. Therefore, he during illumination, activity and
sleep etc., which are the effect of the Gunas, does not hate them, or, when
they cease, desires for them. For, with regard to pleasure and pain, gain and
loss, honor and ignominy, praise and blame, etc., and with regard to earth,
stone and gold, etc., he attains an attitude of equanimity. Therefore, that Mahatma
when obtaining a desirable object, or in the cessation of what is undesirable,
does not feel delighted, nor does he feel any grief when obtaining an
undesirable object, or in the loss of what is dear or desirable. if for any
reason, his body is cut by a weapon or he is faced with any other form of
extreme suffering, that man of wisdom, established exclusively in God, the
embodiment of Truth, Knowledge and Bliss, does not fall from that state of
existence. For in his mind, the whole world appears as a mirage, and no other
existence appears to him beyond the existence of one God, the embodiment of
Truth, Knowledge and Bliss. What more should we say about him, the state of
that soul, who has realized God, the embodiment of Truth, Knowledge and Bliss,
is in reality, known to him alone. None possesses the power to reveal it though
the mind, intellect and senses. Therefore awakening as soon as possible from
the sleep of ignorance, and taking shelter under the care of a saint, and
according to his instructions, one should earnestly take to the practice of a
discipline for realizing God through the seven types of renunciation stated
above. For this extremely valuable human life is attained, only through the
grace of God, at the end of many births. Therefore, the invaluable time
allotted to this life should not be wasted in indulging in the perishable,
transient, impermanent enjoyment of this world.
