Atmabodha and the need for rajagopal to CHANGE

One person wrote to me, “Why Atmabodha?"

good question

Atma Bodha or knowledge of Self (Atma) is an outcome of deep thinking 

about why we are born and living, 

influencing or getting influenced by every one around us, 

developing relations with them both physically and mentally,

worrying for them 

and 

either losing them or leaving them temporarily due to life cycle and permanently
by death.

again answering the question " Why Atmabodha" it is proper to take help from the author of Atmabodha....who lived just for 32 years..

slogam 2 of Atmabodha

Bodho anya-Sadhanebhyo Hi
Sakshan-Moksha Eka Sadhanam
Pakasya Vahnivat Jnanam
Vina Moksho Na Sidhyati

Sankara vehemently argues that all RITUALS are nonsense and ridiculous if those rituals cannot purify the doer's heart;

rituals are the warm up sessions and not the main exercises;

if a person continues to think wrong and do wrong while doing rituals, poojas, prayers regularly, it will be similar to a person washing his ANUS while defecating continuously in the toilet;

KNOW the purpose

otherwise do away with nonsensical poojas/offerings

i have seen people taking a one rupee coin out of their pocket and show to the idol in the sanctum sanatorium repeatedly and then deposit in the HUNDI;

hey Ram....we have deteriorated GOD to the level of Marwari;

Sankara never recommends a GOD;

let us see slogam 50:

Teertva Mohaarnavam Hatvaa
Raaga Dveshadi Rakshasaan
Yogee Saanti Samayuktah
Atmaa Ramo Viraajate

The Yogi who crosses the ocean of Moha (delusion) and kills the demons called likes and dislikes will be peaceful and dwells in the glory of his own real self as an Atma Rama.

there is no need to go to Ayodhya, Shridi, Mantralayam when your Atma Ram is in hibernation in you;
just kill your delusion and be victorious over likes and dislikes, you will be the King of the Universe; nothing can bother you....

A person searches for the gold ornament already in his neck due to his forgetfulness. When he later finds it, he feels very happy as if he found a new ornament. He has thus lamented over a thing which is
not lost.

Purusha suktham ends like this:

tacchamyo-rAvrNeemahe....

Sorrows that are, and sorrows to be
We seek that which grants us
Peace from these

i am touched by the support given by Quantum Physics;
From the standpoint of physics, there is one essential difference between living things and inanimate clumps of carbon atoms: The former tend to be much better at capturing energy from their environment and dissipating that energy as heat.

should we not make a difference?
