SCRIPTURES UPANISHADS ISAVASYA UPANISHAD Post-23. ========================================================================== Mantras 9 to 11. Into dense darkness they enter, who worship avidya, into greater darkness, as it were, they enter, who worship vidya. The results achieved through the worship of vidya and avidya are different from each other. One who knows vidya and avidya together crosses over death through avidya and becomes immortal through vidya. Avidya is lack of knowledge of the Self, giving rise to desire and action. It is ignorance which extends through various degrees in the world of manifestation. Absence of Self-knowledge always expresses itself as a desire or a wish for something external, whether seen or unseen. The experiences of those who believe in the reality of these phenomenal worlds are always negative and objective. They try their best to develop relations...

Swami Chinmayananda : Sannyasa is renunciation of all ego-centric activities and all anxieties or cravings for fruits of actions.  These two effects would be natural in one who is striving diligently in the world as an expression of his love for the Lord, and only to dedicate in the end all the results unto the Lord as "offering".  King Janaka was one such phenomenal example!

The Absolute and the Universe-10. Chapter 3: The Supreme Goal of Life - 1. Post-14. ================================================================================== Chapter -2. The Absolute and the Universe-10. Name, form and action are what this world is. The world consists of nothing but name, form and activity. These, when they are externalised, particularised or finitised, become sources of bondage. Again, the Upanishad goes to the technique of universalising name, form and activity. Then they become the name, form and action of Hiranyagarbha-Prana. This is a meditation which, we may say, is the basis for the Karma-Yoga doctrine, according to which every action is supposed to be divinity manifest, and a means to liberation of the soul, provided, of course, names, forms and actions get universalised in the ...

BRAHMANANDA VALLI PART 2: 9 No. Anuvakas (Chapters) THE BLISS THAT IS BRAHMAN Post - 50. ============================================================================ UPANISHAD SARA SANGRAH  Anuvaka 2.1  The Essence of the Upanishads : ============================================================================== Objection 1:  How Can “Limited” Attain Another “Limited” ? Poorvapakshi:  We read that Brahman is the all-pervading Self of all. In 1, we see one  limited thing attaining another limited thing. This statement does not tie up with the all pervasive Brahman. There is some incongruity here, something not agreeing.  Answer:  There is no flaw here. It only appears so; it is part of our own ignorant  vision. We are identified with limited Upadhis, so we appear to be limited to ourselves.  When the Ignorance...
