Nirvana

Freedom, liberation from cycle of birth and death. (Glossary for the Vahinis)

 

Earlier, Buddha went in search of divinity everywhere outside. He wandered in several places. But, he could not succeed in his endeavours. Ananda, his cousin saw the plight and enquired why he was wandering here and there. The, suddenly Buddha realised that he was all the while following his Manasika Tattva (mental impulses), which is impermanent and momentary. He, therefore, decided not to follow the mind. He immediately started contemplating on divinity with full heart and attained Nirvana (liberation from bondage). It is clear from this example that one should never rely on the mind, which weaves fantasies. Forget the mind, establish divinity firmly in your heart and finally merge in that divinity. That is the real Nirvana. You must forget Deha Bhranthi (the illusion of body). Merge in divinity with Atmabhimana (attachment to the Atma). That is real Dhyana. That is true tyaga (renunciation or detachment). That is your real Yoga. That is your real Bhoga. That bhoga is ananda (Bliss). Always follow the principle, Satyam bruyat, Priyam bruyat, Na bruyat Satyam apriyam which means always speak the truth; speak the truth pleasingly; never speak truth which is unpalatable. Only then, will you be able to attain Nirvana. Several people aspire for liberation. Liberation cannot be attained by temporary Sadhanas. It can be obtained by constant contemplation on divinity, forgetting the mind totally. That is real Nirvana. Wherever you see, if the mind only is visible, how can you attain Nirvana? It is only the one who forgets the mind can attain Nirvana. (SSS Vol.35, p. 186)
