36 Mantram 4.4: “Go!” – Hitting the Target

Post - 36.

36 Mantram 4.4: “Go!” – Hitting the Target

1 

pranavo dhanuh sharah hi aatmaa,   = With Pranava as bow, and Atman as arrow,

2 

brahma tat lakshyam uchyate;   = Brahman is said to be its mark or goal.

3 

apramattena veddhavyam,   = By being steady and undeflected, hit the Goal!

4 

sharavat tat-mayah bhavet.   = Like an arrow, unite yourself to the target.

=========================================================================

Here we have the full application of the metaphor as described in suspense in the 

previous verse. Each part of the metaphor is given its counterpart in the meditation process.

Each part of the metaphor is now explained one by one:

1a i) 

The Bow = the Pranava, Om. Omkara is used as a Jnaana Alambana (symbol).

We saw earlier that this knowledge is found in the Upanishads. The Brahma Sootras tell us 

that the Upanishads are the sole (reliable) authority on this matter.

When Om is chanted without the knowledge, the result produced is not Liberation, 

but simply the purification of the mind, about which we shall see in a moment.

1b ii) 

The Arrow = the Jeeva-Atman or the individual soul; earlier we noted that its 

sharpening was essential. Now we know what the sharpening meant. It is the purification of 

the soul from all taint of past Karma, all hidden tendencies and desires. This purification is 

the most essential spiritual Sadhana to be done by a seeker. The purified Jeeva is no 

different from the Atman or Self.

2 iii) 

The Target = Brahman, the Supreme Imperishable, Indestructible Being, 

referred to earlier as Akshara. This target is not an external target, but is to be found seated 

at the very core of our being in the heart centre.

3 iv) 

The Focussing = the 100% concentration that is needed during meditation. 

Because unerring precision is required here, concentration is not good enough as a 

translation. The correct expression used is Apramattena, “to become one with the target 

mentally”; then there is no question of missing the target.

4 v) 

The Arrow Merging With Target = the Jeeva discovering its Oneness or identity 

with Brahman, the Supreme Purusha.

Inadvertence is the most serious error at this crucial stage of meditation. The 

slightest trace of inadvertence would mean missing the goal. The Sadhaka should fully 

realize the seriousness of the quest at this stage. There is no room whatsoever for error. It is 

like a spacecraft which needs to be controlled with 100% precision.

=========================================================================

###OPINION: PEOPLE OF BHARATHAM POSITIVE:

=========================================================================

1. SANATANA DHARMA, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS HINDUISM IS ETERNAL, WHOLE UNIVERSE IS EXISTING IN THIS TRUTH

2.  EVER EXISTING

3.  THERE IS NO SPACE FOR ADHARMA

4. ALL DEMONIC ELEMENTS DEMOLISHED BY DHARMA

5. SO NO QUESTION EVIL ASURIC DEMONIC FRAGMENT'S BARKING, THEY WILL BE   ULTIMATELY BURNED AND DESTROYED BY NATURE.

6. PURE CONSCIOUSNESS IS DIVINE AND SUPREME, ALL OTHERS MEANINGLESS

7. NATURE IS ABOVE ALL, EVER EXISTING, ALL OTHERS MEANINGLESS.

8. THE CONTENT OF SO-CALLED HOLY BOOK IS NO HOLY AT ALL, AS IT PREACHES HATRED AND DESTRUCTION OF OTHER MANKIND, RELIGIOUS CONVERSIONS AND LIES OF UNCIVILIZED MATERIALS

9. CHRISTIANITY IS EQUALLY DEMONSTRATED CRUELTY, THE SO CALLED HOLY BOOK FULL OF LIES

10. BOTH ARE NOT RELIGIONS BUT SAMPRADAYA (ILLITERATE MAN MADE, NOT BASED ON DHARMA

11. THE CULTURE OF BHARATHAM BASED ON UPANISHADS AND FULL OF  REALISATION TEXTS ARE PRODUCED BY GREAT RISHIS OF BHARATHAM

12. IN THIS MATERIALISTIC DESTRUCTIVE MINDED UNIVERSE, NO RELIGIONS COMPARABLE OR ABOVE SANATANA DHARMA OF BHARATHAM.

========================================================================

2. Congress & Communists destroyed this holy Nation Sanatana Dharama; the imported stupid secularism degenerated this Nation Ancient Culture and Civilization

3. Till 2014 nation was ruled by corrupt idiots,and all regions too, Dynasty rule dominated than Nation interests.

4. Brushing away mainstream population sides and Muslims and Christians become political parties vote banks.

5. Communists openly abused our ancient culture, Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavtham and daites.

6. The communists next donkey group, latest stunt of America visit and the comedy programmed namely Kerala sabha!? these buggers destroyed Kerala in all and joining with radical Islam soon they will be eliminated, people of Kerala get up from donkey thoughts, otherwise Kerala shrink to extinct in all way.

7. Communists are danger to our civilization, their lunatic theories disappeared throughout the world, Time has come crush them, and eliminate them from our nation, they are danger to this holy nation.

=========================================================================

NOTE:

1. POLITICIANS (THOSE IGNORANT AND DEMONIC NATURED) ARE NOT THE AUTHORITY TO OPEN THEIR UGLY FOUL MOUTH AND UTTER NONSENSE UPON SANATHANA DHARMAM.

2. THE NONSENSE COMMENDY ALLIANCE ARE NOT THE AUTHORITY ON SANATHA DHARMAM.

3. DK, DMK. AIADMKA AND ALL NONSENSE POLITICIANS BEWARE YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY WASHED OUT SOON.

4. COMMUNISTS AND CONGRESS ARE THE ENEMY TO MANKIND DESTROY THEM.

5.ALL SANATHANA DHARMAM FOLLOWERS (WHICH EVER YOUR POLITICAL INTEREST BE: YOUR POLITICAL MINDSET) TAKE AN OATH THAT YOU STAND AGAINST ALL EVIL MINDSET AGAINST SANATHANA DHARMAM!!!

=========================================================================

######6.
