100 - Buddhi Yoga Higher Intuition on Life | Swami Tattwamayananda

10th chapter: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11<br /><br />6th verse: “The seven great rishis, the four great ancestors, and the Manus – they are born from one supreme reality. All creatures in this world emerge from them.”<br /><br />7th verse: “Anyone who in reality knows Me as the supreme spiritual ideal which is present everywhere – that person will naturally understand the truth. There is no doubt about it.”<br /><br />Vibhuti means manifestation of divine qualities. They naturally come to a person when he meditates on God. The glory of the ocean is reflected in every pebble and wave in the ocean. Similarly, in all human beings who meditate on God, some unique characteristics manifest. Sunlight falls on water in a pot and the quality of its reflection depends on the cleanliness of the water. Similarly, the degree of manifestation depends on the purity of the person’s mind. Swami Vivekananda said that the difference between an amoeba and a Buddha is only of degrees, not of kind. Buddha is like the clean mirror, in whom the presence of the lord manifests in His full effulgence.<br /><br />Absolute Reality has two dimensions. One is the unmanifested or impersonal dimension, and the other is the manifested or personal dimension. We should not begin our spiritual journey with the unmanifest. We should begin by focusing on a higher ideal and practice spiritual sadhanas. What we meditate upon, that we become. When we always think of a higher ideal, we begin to imbibe the qualities of that higher ideal. That makes us ready to transcend the personal and practice the impersonal – it is a matter of one’s evolution, not choice.<br /><br />8th verse: “I am the origin of everything. And everything originates from Me. If a person understands this and recognizes Me with loving consciousness, he will become enlightened.”<br /><br />When Lord Krishna uses “I” or “Me” he refers to the one supreme reality. 164th sukta of the first mandala of Rigveda Samhita says: “Reality is one; sages call it by various names.”.
