Acid Test for the Supreme Bliss

Having obtained this Bliss Absolute

• No other gain will be considered greater

• Being in this state, one is not moved

even by the heaviest sorrow

This is not an objective experience of

the senses, but perceived by pure intellect

The Science of Supreme Self- Perfection

• Renunciation is not melancholic self-denial• By healthy detachment and dispassion – the wise actually experience the perfect state• They explain the Self-Conscious state as an active metamorphosis by incessant practice

A bud – to a flower – to a fruit – the evolution appears as detachment and renunciation of their beauty; in fact it is true maturity with a purpose.

The Wrong PerceptionThe unseen and unperceivable Atman

1. Is looked upon as a mere human individual with some name and form

2. Is considered mortal and finite

This is because of

• Lack of insight into the transcen- dental nature of the Supreme Self

Social Order of CasteThe four fold social order of caste

Is created on the basis of the Gunas – or the innate predisposing qualities The basis of caste is the duty one performs as per his capability The wise never discriminate any caste

Birth in a specific family and community is certainly not the criterion
