आत्म अनुभूति

From the Upanishad we learn:
1. “Praajnam Brahman”—Aitreya Upanishad of Rigveda, meaning “Intelligence or Consciousness is Brahman.
2. “Aham Brahmaasmi”—Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad of Yajurveda, meaning “I am Brahman‟‟
3. “Tatvamasi”—Chandogya upanishad of Saamaveda, meaning “That thou art”
4. “Ayam aatma Brahman”—Mandookya Upanishad of Atharvaveda, meaning “This Self or aatma is Brahman”
From the Brihat-Aranyak we learn that ..Prano Brahmaeti...the vital force is the brahman.

The question now and forever we will ponder is about these concepts of

1.Brahman.
2.Aatman.
3.Moksha.
4.Shaanti.
5.Chaetana.
6.Prakriti.
7.Purusha.

and many more may be, but these are the crux in my knowledge that has been dealt over the period:

Let us interpret one by one unboundedly.

Prajnyaanam...and Praanam are Brahman from the above mahaavakyas:

So Intelligence or Consciousness is the vital force and the same is described as Brahman.These refer to thou in a plane that the Atman Travels.

Atman ....is necessarily the core of Brahman...fro one of the above mahaavakyas.Atman is a personality as against person...Ayam-Aatma..Brahma.The state of sookshma.

Chaetana....is the desire arising out of which is the prakriti,The elaborate space or the expanse is out of this chaetana.The Brahman is in the nature of Sat...Truth,Chit...desire, and Aanand...Bliss.

Shaanti...Is a state of Poornam(full exposition)which is a combination of Satchitaanand.Brahman in the state of prajnyanam exposites Praana in the nature described best as Shaanti.

Brahman can also be visualised as Purusha or the Creator who enjoys his creation(prakriti)since Brahman is that visishta..visualisation that is exposited in all the Chit and Achits.Swami Nammalvar points this as Ulanen Ilanen Ivai gunamudaimaiyaal,Ulaniru tagaimaiyodu..Ozhivilan parandhae. and reflected in the upanishads as two states...Aasti-Nawsti.

The Concept of moksha is a bit intriguing though,i had an earlier post on this as i believe this is one complicated concept....

If moksha intends to attain the state of Brahman it can be differently viewed,if it intends to attain a state lower than that it can be differently interpreted...For the Vital force that is brahman is in the continuous state of consciousness that is the path of truth with the intention of attaining bliss ,hence it is very composite against this concept of moksha which can lead to inertness devoid of chaetana,though being a part of Brahman.

I will ponder it further when i realise and clarity emerges out of this...
