DRG-DRSYA-VIVEKA

"This small book(Drg drsya viveka) of forty-six slokas,is an
excellent vade mecum for the study of higher vedanta.Sixteen of the slokas
from Drg drsya viveka,from 13 to 31 with the exception of 14,21,and 28,are
found in a minor Upanishad,called the Saraswati-Rahasyopanishad.It does
not seem probable that the author of Drg drsya viveka wrote a treatise of
forty-six stanzas borrowing sixteen from another book.Neither of the two
commentators(Brahmananda Bharati and Ananda Jnana) has mentioned these
sixteen slokas as quotation from the Upanishad in question.Therefore it
seems to us that the author of the Upanishad has borrowed these slokas
from Drg drsya viveka,which,if true,would indicate the importance of the

book."

advaita yoga deepika

Originally Sri Shankaracharya and other great Sages had
written several works like the commentary on the Vedanta Sutras
and thus furnished the methods for those engaged in Self enquiry
to accomplish their purpose.
From those, Sri Karapatra Swami later condensed the
salient points into Sanskrit verse in a work of twelve chapters,
called Sri Advaita Bodha Deepika.
Still later, some great man seems to have translated this
into Tamil prose. For some unknown reasons only some eight
chapters of the same are found published. They are:
1. Adhyaropa = Super imposition.
2. Apavada = Its removal.
3. Sadhana = The means of accomplishment.
4. Sravana = Hearing, reading, talking about God.
5. Manana = Reflecting on sravana.
6. Vasanakshaya = Annihilation of latencies.
7. Sakshatkara = Direct Realisation.
8. Manonasa = Extinction of the mind.
In this work the author has explained how Ignorance obscures
the true nature of the Self which is non-dual only; how by its
veiling aspect it covers It (the Self) with two effects — ‘that It does
not exist’ and ‘that It does not shine forth’, how by its other aspect,
in the shape of the mind, projecting individuals, Iswara and the
world and presenting them as real, thus giving rise to illusion; how
one fully qualified is alone fit to obtain this knowledge; how a bare
scholar of the shastras cannot be fit; how enquiry is the chief means
for knowledge; how this enquiry consists in hearing of, reflecting
upon and contemplation of TRUTH, and Samadhi; how the
indirect knowledge gained by hearing puts an end to the idea that
‘It does not exist’ and the direct knowledge gained by reflection,
which means enquiry ‘WHO I AM’ and seeking within, destroys
the wrong notion that ‘It does not shine forth’; how the knowledge
of THOU in THAT THOU ART is identical with the knowledge
of THAT; how by meditation the different latencies perishing which
were the obstacles on the way and the mind which is the limiting
adjunct (upadhi) of the individual perishes too and by the eventual
unobstructed realisation of BRAHMAN (God) the Seeker becomes
free from the bondage of the three kinds of Karma which form the
cycle of births and deaths; how in truth there is neither bondage
nor release for the SELF and in what way to extinguish the mind


The most rapid and direct means to eternal bliss

For thousands of years humans have been stuck in the same pool of inward unsolved problems. 
Thousands of years ago humans had the problems of suffering, sorrow, anger, fear, violence, conning, cheating, lying, death, etc. 
Today humans have the problems of suffering, sorrow, anger, fear, violence, conning, cheating, lying, death, etc. 
All of those problems have a single cause. 
In this book the cause of the lack of progress and the solution that actually works is revealed. 
There is a secret, a missing link, a vicious circle, that is keeping humans stuck in the same pool of unsolved problems. 
That secret, that missing link, that vicious circle is revealed in this book. 
How to break free of that ancient human trap is also revealed in this book. 
The solutions taught in the past have failed. 
Not even one in a million humans have been freed from all suffering and been established in absolutely perfect infinite-eternal-awareness-love-bliss by the solutions that have been taught to humanity in the past. 
It is possible to be free of all sorrow and suffering and to experience absolutely perfect infinite eternal joy here and now in this lifetime. 
It is possible for all humans, not just a few humans. 
There is a rapid means to infinite bliss. 
That rapid means is taught in this book. 
The strategies the ego uses to avoid liberation and how to end those strategies are also revealed in this book. 
Whatever spiritual path you are on, this book will be a great help. 
The problem of the ego distorting, distracting and keeping the attention directed outward, is a problem shared by all humans, whatever path they are on. 
The ego’s tricks have seldom been looked at in spiritual literature. 
The ego’s tricks are revealed in this book. 
How to put an end to the ego’s tricks is also taught in this book, making this book a unique and immensely valuable contribution. 
This book will be a great help to all humans, including those who are not on a spiritual path, because the most rapid means to end suffering and sorrow and to live in awareness love bliss, is of benefit to all.
