ONE AND ONENESS BY DIAMOND PICKED UP IN THE STREET

The Vedic Truth and Sri Ramkrishna Dev as a Hindu

8. Coming down from Samadhi Sri Ramkrishna spoke: “What lies beyond the transient and intransient (Kshara and Akshara) cannot be spoken by tongue”.

i) He means to say that the state which exists beyond changing experiences i.e., the permanent data, cannot be given out by human vocabularies.

Here he speaks about the Yoga of annihilation of consciousness or ‘Laya Yoga’. But before annihilation comes, there is “Yea” (Asti, or an Ascent in the finest form and it lingers). Nothing can be said of the Void zone (shunyam) which succeeds “Yea” but after coming back from Samadhi, it transpires that “Yea” – “There is”. The last “Yea” is but a memory work – a sort of revelation that takes place in the cerebrum called the plane of “Tejas”. This is afterwards, addressed as “Thou” (Twam).

Yes, now comes changing or transforming data and they are but the variegated and multifarious experiences gathered during the course of the life power (kundalini) on her upward march to the seventh plane. In the Pranamaya Kosha or the sheath of the vital power water is seen; and this water again in the Monomaya Kosha i.e., the fourth plane or the sheath of mind changes into fire. In the Vijnanmaya Kosha or the sheath of special knowledge i.e., the fifth plane, the fire is transformed into sky or ‘kha’. Yes, changes run on as in the second zone of the Vijnanmaya Kosha i.e., the sixth plane – between the two eyebrows in the forehead – aurora with a rising sun (symbol of knowledge) is seen. Here the so called changes of the elements in the human body stop and the permanent or intransient (Akshara) “Atma” or “God” or “Brahma” as shown by the man who had come down from Brahmapura and having been, afterwards, himself merged in it, remains luminous with all its glory. This data in every man remains ever intransient. If Moses saw “Atma” then the very same Atma will be seen by you even today and after millions of years if anybody is lucky enough to visualize “Atma” then the very same “Atma” will be seen by him also.

In the long run (of course, there are innumerable experiences in the midway) the zone of annihilation is reached and Sri Ramkrishna mentioned this very thing with the remark that nothing could be said beyond it.

ii) The Vedic principle differs, marches on, and points out with a proof bearing evidences by millions of men that there is the “Perfect one” – (Sa Uttamah Purushah).

If your “Kshara” – “Jiva” is transformed into “Akshara” – “Paramatma” then you shall be distributing your “Oneness” to millions of others as it is the sole function of attaining this perfection. The humanity, having attained this perfection with you, will declare “Oneness” with you. There is no other means to be “Perfect” save and except this process that Nature creates a Perfect One and the very identical Perfect One makes the humanity one and the same with Him. The most wonderfully realistic feature of the “One World” in the “Atma” or spiritual sphere!

Nowhere in the Gospel of Sri Ramkrishna the term Purushattoma has ever been used; though the Bhagawat Gita has a chapter under the caption “Purushattoma Yoga” and there it is distinctly said with the reference of the Vedic saying that “Kshara” and “Akshara” are succeeded by “Purushattoma” or in the Vedic language “Sa Uttamah Purushah”.

It transpires that Sri Ramkrishna was a follower of Tantra and also of Purana or mythology – rather a visionary and highly busied himself to prove his identity as an “Avatar” – an incarnation of God – entertained by the dualist, bearing no proof or having no mark of reality in relation to the humanity. There is no “Avatar in the Vedic Truth and it was also so declared by him several times and we find it in the Gospel of Sri Ramkrishna.
