The Person is Imagined

Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj

Remain where you are. Do not clean toilets when you are a king. Remain with yourself, fully aware of your Being. You are the unattached, self-existent Paramatman. It is for you to increase your power. The power of this Knowledge (vidya) is such that one can create a new universe. This Knowledge was used by kings. The royal teachers in the past were not imparting this to others. Those teachers were appointed to the kings alone, and they were dependent on the kings. The real saint does not care about this. This "Knowledge of Yoga" is great. Lord Krishna enjoyed its glory. No doubt, it is a great thing to attain the state of Brahman, but it is still greater to enjoy it. But alas, nobody enjoys it. What is the necessity of the means when the goal is achieved? You are the primordial everlasting Brahman! Drop the idea of an imagined person. You exist without being imagined. Those who underwent tremendous trouble, and even faced death in the name of spiritual efforts did not die after dropping the "me". However, people die every day in vain doing much hard work in their life, but do not enjoy the glory and the majesty of Brahman.

One whose pride is gone, is automatically Brahman. This is samadhi without a ripple of thought. This is also called unbroken, unhindered samadhi. Either with qualities or without qualities, there is only Brahman. There is nothing else. The man was unnecessarily holding on to some pauper, to the woman or man. It is not true that a brahmin's Brahman is pure and a shudra's Brahman is impure. All of the sadhus, saints, sages, monks that have ever been, and even the vedas sang in praise to You only. The entire world worships only You. Mahadev, Vishnu and all of the other gods come to worship You, and are merged in You. They have no other place. For all, there is only place of rest. To all, the resting place is Paramatman, your Swaroopa (True Nature; True Form). Brahman, Vishnu and all the gods praise only this God. The entirety of manifestation, Prakriti, is the servant of this God. She is trying hard to keep him in good mood. All glory is in God. The Almighty God is He. All the fame, all the greatness,and all the power vests in God. Therefore, the Vedas shout at the top of their voice that they are purified by having a glimpse of a Saint. All glory goes to God (Shiva), and povery comes to individual (jiva).
