Verse 1.16 अनादिमायया सुप्तो यदा जीवः प्रबुध्यते । अजमनिद्रमस्वप्नमद्वैतं बुध्यते तदा ॥ १६ ॥ anādimāyayā supto yadā jīvaḥ prabudhyate | ajamanidramasvapnamadvaitaṃ budhyate tadā || 16 ||
I ( the viswa “waking state”) am asleep in Ignorance due to Maya since Beginningless!!
When did the Ignorance started??? Gaudapadacharya says ! it is from beginningless ….
Infact , all the ignorance is Beginningless !! How??
If I ask you - "Do You know German?", suppose you don't know German then you will say , "No , I don't Know German".
So, You are ignorant about German!
Now again , If I ask you "Since when you are ignorant about German" ??
You say " since my birth I do not know German ! oh so, before your birth you knew German...? NO!! Hence You are ignorant about German from (अनादि) Beginningless..!!
But , Ignorance has an end … When does it end ??When we take up a book and start learning German!.
Similarly, Ignorance is actually Beginningless (अनादि ), but It can end . When knowledge comes it Ends !
अनादिमायया सुप्तो (anādimāyayā supto) – You cannot say since when you are in Ignorance!
यदा जीवः प्रबुध्यते (jīvaḥ prabudhyate) – when the jīvaḥ (जीवः ) awakens (प्रबुध्यते ) {Buddha came from here }
अजमनिद्रमस्वप्नमद्वैतं बुध्यते तदा ( ajamanidramasvapnamadvaitaṃ budhyate tadā ) – Then I realise
- I am अजम (Ajam) i.e Unborn
- I am anidram (अनिद्रम ) i.e Sleepless (without sleep) —-> referring that I am not prājñaḥ
- I am asvapnam ( अस्वप्नम ) i.e. without dream —-> referring that I am not the Taijasa
- I am advaitaṃ (अद्वैत) i.e. there is no second reality apart from me , I am the Viswa in waking state , I am the taijasa in the dream state and I am the prājñaḥ in the deep sleep state. Where “Viswa” , “Taijasa” and “prājñaḥ” are all appearances but the reality in all is “Turiya”
Another big questions comes in Mind is after realisation ,will this world disappear ??? will there be body after realisation?? will the body live after realisation ??
