The Hindu system of “FOUR”

The four stages of one’s life comes to mind (entrapped in the subtle mind): Ashrama is a system of stages of life of the hindu. The four ashramas are: Brahmacharya (seeker-student), Grhasta (duality-householder-relationship), Vanaprashta (solitude-forest walker/forest dweller), and Sanyassa (oneness-renunciate). Makes me chuckle because they are potentially experienced all at the same time!

The four dharmmas or the four purusarthas of hindus also comes to mind, they are Dharma (righteousness, moral values); Artha (prosperity, economic values); Kama (pleasure, love, psychological values); and Moksha (liberation, spiritual values). This makes me chuckle for the same reason. Once proofed, they are to be discarded.

There are the four Vedas, namely, Rig, Sama, Yajur, and Atharva. They emerged consecutively during the four kalpas in the current Yuga. These make me chuckle for the same reason. Just testing the readers here. Its the other way around. They emerged consecutively during the four Yugas in the current Kalpa (one day of Brahma).

There are four scriptural statements, which scholars (jnanis) revere, as the highest wisdom. They are called mahavakyas. They are Prajnanam Brahma, Aham Brahmasmi, Tat Tvam Asi, and Ayam Atma Brahma. Prajnanam Brahma means ‘Jnana (Abstract Intellect) is Brahman’. Aham Brahmasmi means ‘I am Brahman’. Tat Tvam Asi means ‘That You Are’ and Ayam Atma Brahma means ‘The Self is Atma-Brahman.’ Again, these makes me chuckle for the same reason. They are to be proofed and then discarded.

The sets of “fours” of the Hindu esoteric system/scriptures are concepts that only appear/display in the present or in the vacant mind. Esoteric concepts are to be discarded once proofed, known, and understood. They are to be erased from our memory; including all verses on Reality.

Why do you separate the two? I know. Because of your parent’s inputs. Was there ever a difference? My dear, do not separate yourself from the ONE TRUTH. There are no Vishnus nor Shivas nor Rudras nor Brahmas nor you nor I;.they are merely notions for explanations, for there is only the ONE divine INTELLECT! I call this Shiva, You may call it Vishnu. The other may call it Brahman. There is only ONE without a second! Therefore, who is the you and who is the I here?🙏🕉🤔✍️Dippack Mistri

Oh, but Brahma is worshipped. Say then, who in this age does not worship his own mind, body, senses and ego? This is the temple of Brahma; he is or his temples are everywhere and more so because narcissism is on the rise. The Human physicality is Brahma’s temple. You see why foolish scholars think Shiva chopped Brahma’s fifth head. No. Those five “heads” are intact, they are called the FIVE SENSES! What Shiva annihilated was the “mind’s eye,” the sixth head;.but it can be regained by losing or chopping off the five “heads of Brahma.” I will tell you. In fact, chop Brahma (your mind) off completely, only, what remains is what I style as Shiva!

Q: Can you explain Brahmaloka; what is all about? I thought all sages who attained Vaikuntha were all dwelling in this dimension at the core of the galaxy. ANS: Indeed. Yes, they do. But what is the “core of the galaxy?” Your true Self is the core of the galaxy! Brahmaloka is the abode of goddess Saraswati, goddess Gayatri and Lord Brahma, the creator god and part of a Trimurti along with Vishnu and Shiva in Hindu Dharma. This is the Brahmaloka, the mind, where else? Lokas of Hindu Dharma are merely compartments created in the mind by the mind. All these deities are a metaphor and allegories for our contemplation. They all abide within the Self. Sages abide within the Self, in Atma, beyond Brahmaloka! Brahmaloka is the mind, but the paradox is the divine Mind is a mind that has lost its idea of gross, subtle and causal realm; its abode is beyond all three, which abides in Truth only. There all Sages abide, some call it Viakuntha other something else. Only these are all words and notions. Adi Shankara calls these Upadhis. There is nothing here but words and implications. Language is the barrier that keeps you away from the presence of the Self. Self is the only thing here. The Self is Advaita Vedanta. But first, you have to understand that you are born because you wanted to be here and everyone is born in duality, even Krishna was born in duality. Remember this. Nothing exists outside the SELF; there are no OM, Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, Saraswati, Gayatri, etc beyond the Self. Say then, do they exist in deep sleep? NO! They only exist in the waking and dreaming consciousnesses. They are all exoteric allegories for teaching purposes. It is very difficult to understand all the obtuse and abstract ideas of Hindus, for they can be understood in deep contemplation only.

SELF KNOWLEDGE COMES ONLY THROUGH SELF ENQUIRY: MAHARSHI RAMANA: Q: I asked him once: “You told me to repeat the Gayatri. It is too long. Also, I am expected to know its meaning and to meditate on it.” Ramana: “Who asked you to bother about the meaning and all that? I have only asked you to see who is repeating the Gayatri, or who is the japi, was his kind reply.

INSIGHTS OF DM: OM SYMBOLS; FALSE AND TRUE. Say then, do you spot the difference? The first image is FALSE. Why, you ask? I will tell you. Google and scholars and image-makers are wrong in their depiction of this Holy Symbol. Firstly, OM is a hologram or epigraph of a Yogi sat in contemplative meditation in 3D. OM is Ganesha, an Elephant head. Do you see the pelvic girdle ( buttocks of the yogi with legs crossed; elephant head with ears)? Do you see the “trunk” (spinal-cord, meru danda)? Do you see the skull (ventricle curled up like half-moon)? Do you see Bindu beyond the skull? Secondly, if the trunk is curled down towards and resting on the earth, it is called false OM because it’s resting on IGNORANCE. OM is not ignorance. Thirdly, look at the 2nd picture with elephant trunk curled upward in salutation, this is the true depiction of OM. Why? because your spine and skull are above the pelvic girdle. The Bindu or Sahasrara chakra is beyond physicality and has no motion, it is spaceless and timeless and matterless set above physicality. The second picture is not exactly how I would like to depict OM, but you get the idea of the TRUE OM. The third image is the correct one as I would like to depict OM: In Salutation to highest consciousness beyond physicality! I do not confess to be a Sanskrit scholar, only an insightful Yogi.

Musings of DM: Yoga Tree: “A Tree does not deny its shade to any.” The Tree is not stupid though. But before you decide to take its shelter, the Tree is already very aware that you see all your friends take shelter under that Tree. The tree looks lovely. You want to join them under that Tree. The Tree is very aware that most are sitting under its shade to glorify their own portfolio of friends and egos. You want to boost and glorify your own portfolio of friends and ego. The Tree is there to provide its shade and not proselytize any. The Tree is very aware you hear but do not listen to the subtle rustle of its leaves in the wind.The Tree is also aware that most will walk out and die of heatstroke of their conditioned ideologies and for want of thirst for the essence of the Spirit. Like the surfs of the ocean come and go, only the deep waters remain. 🙏🕉✍️ Dippack Mistri

AHAM SRI GAYATRI YANTRA ASMI

Most if not all Hindu Mandirs are based on a Yantra. This is the basis of Hindu Mandirs. However, it is in the author’s opinion that the Yantra has been misrepresented. They should have been enclosed within a diamond-rhomboid and not within a square. The reason is this. It is a representation of the Yoni and Lingam. This “Maithuna” being the creative tenet of Maya, for the Yoni is not square..we all know this or perhaps you have never seen one. Yoni is not a square. The true Self is in the heart of the Yantra beyond the OM. You are the Gayatri Yantra! Come to your own self-discovery.”The True Self is the creative principle within us.” PB 🙏🕉✍️ Dippack Mistri

“O’ my mind! You are not of the same kind with the soul, owing to your changing appearances and ever-changing occupations, and promptness for multifarious inventions. Your states of happiness and misery moreover bespeak you plainly to be of a different nature from your source of the Soul you are derived from.” Sage Vitahavya

Where the vast pool of water abides, there arises waves and eddies upon its surface when the wind blows, for it is One substance of water whether it is raindrop, river, lake, or ocean. Likewise, from the deep and tranquil waters of the Spirit emerges stirrings of breath, vacuous desires, and mind; will, thoughts, and actions through covert and laden desires. The three stooges, will, thoughts, and actions, are paradigms of desires, for they are not apart from the mind.

In the deep sleep state’s infinitesimal stirring, dream state arises followed by the wakeful state, for the world and its contents are dream animations. It is timelessness that gives rise to time, spacelessness that gives rise to space, matterlessness that give rise to matter, and formlessness that gives rise to form, for they are all vacuous ideas held within the formless plenum of the Divine Intellect.

“If the nature of something is vacuous, it cannot give rise to anything apart from vacuity, for if the nature or essence of the Spirit is etheric, It cannot give rise to something other than etheric.”

Therefore, if the substance of the Self is airy, then the intellect, mind, vital, and food sheaths are also airy. The mind is of the size of an atom, which exaggerates and makes an anthill into a mountain, likewise, the body is an exaggeration out of our mind only.

“No thoughts, no mind!

A thought or an idea is basically an airy nothing that arises in the mind; only, the mind itself is thoughts, an airy nothing. Therefore, there is no substantiality about anything here whatsoever; all things are mere illusionary or phantasmagoria, which the mind, out of its nature or attribute or guna, make it appear to itself as real. That which is projected onto the mind, seen as a dream or in a dream or seen as an image-animation, is airy nothing, therefore, there is no substantiality in any dream. Airy dreams arise and are projected out of desires or ignorance onto the mirror of the mind, which then makes it appear real. Likewise, thoughts mirrored onto the mind are merely airy nothings. Say then, is this what we call life?
