Atmabodha notes

 2 bodha anya sadhana 

as opposed to other spiritual practices

self knowledge is the direct means of enlightenment.

just as fire is the direct means of cooking 

enlightenment is impossible without self knowledge.

sa vid ....ya vimuktaye

.......

3 avirodhitaya karma

other spiritual practices can co exist with ignorance

na vidyam vini vartayet

so they cannot remove ignorance

vidya vidya nihantyeva

self knowledge alone removes ignorance

tejas timir sanghavat

like light removes darkness.

....

4

parichanna iva dnyanat

since, the true self is hidden

tan nashe sati kevalaha

when that ignorance is removed

swayam prakashate hyatma

atma reveals itself

megha paye m shuman iva

like the sun reveals itself when clouds drift away


5

adnyann kalusham jivam

a person tainted by ignorance

dnyana bhyasat vinirmalam

is purified when ignorance vanishes due to  self knowledge

krutva dnyanam svyam nashyej

then that self knowledge itself vanishes

jalam katak renuvat

like alum dissolves

....

6

sansar swapnotulyohi

the world is like a dream

raga dvesha adi sankulaha

filled with pleasant and unpleasant experiences

svakale satya d bhati

it seems real

prabhode satya sadbhavet

until you wake up and discover its not

...

tavat satyam jagat bhati

the world seems absolutely real

shukti kaa rajatam yatha

similar to a glittering sea shell which seems like a piece of silver

yavan na dnyayate bramha

until bramha is discovered

sarvadhishtanam advayam.

as the world's underlying non dual reality

........

8

sacchidatma anusyute

created from the sentient underlying reality

nitye visshnau prakalpitaha

eternal and pervasive

vyaktayo vividha sarva

are all things that exist

haatake katakaadivata

like a bracelet made from gold.

.......

yatha kasho rishikesho

like the space in many pots

nanopadhi gato vibhuh

all pervasive consciousness dwells in many bodies

tad bhedad bhinnavat bhati

and seems divided by them

tan nashe kevalo bhavet

in the absence of pots and bodies,

space and consciousness remain undivided

10

nanopadhivashadeva

the attributes of bodies

jati varnaashrama dayaha

like caste color status etc

atmanya aropitas toye

are superimposed on atma

rasa varandi bhedavat

like diff tastes and colours are superimposed on water

......

........

51

Although embodies, the enlightened ones move like moodha, fools in the ocean of unawakened individuals.

They move like space, unaffected by whatever.

moving without attachment like the wind.

..........

53 gaining which nothing remains to be attained,

no other happiness

no other knowledge

that bramha should be realized

...

parallel with nbs 

yat prapya na kinchit vanchati na shochati na ramate notsahi bhavati

.....

54

seeing which nothing remains to be seen

becoming which there is no rebirth

knowing which nothing remains to be known

that bramha should be realized.

.....

64

atma is discovered with the eye of wisdom

one without the eye of wisdom cannot discover it

like the blind cannot see the sun

..

67

yaha swa atma tirtham bhajate vinishkriyaha

by worshipping at this holy pilgrimage site within yourself

sa sarvavit sarva gato mruto bhavet

one becomes enlightened, limitless and immortal.
