At the final state of mind through the Ŕealisation process one attains spontaneity, nonchalance and unpremeditatedness of actions that are instantaneous to when they are required in the imminent reality until the next reality comes to be and the process begins again. The effects of one's actions so enacted only begins to dawn and sink in the mind at a later time. In between actions one is totally still mentally: no thoughts, let alone aims, missions, objectives, plans, wishes, hopes, anticipations, expectations, or desires. So what do the actions attain on reflection? The actions from such a detached frame of mind attain truth.

Satya-advaita is yoga for the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom: It is not a religion to be rigorously followed come what may all throughout one’s life. It ceases when one has become a Spiritual Master. One becomes a Spiritual Master when one knows precisely what to do in given set of circumstances. On the other hand Vishista Advaita Vedanta is a religion to be lived in the material world of vyvaharika where Sri Krishna is worshipped in terms of enacting dharmayudha in what then represents karma in sanatan dharma. This is essential to have a productive life, and is the meaning of life itself.

I am not the Doer, I am the Observer. Where advaita is perfect, nothing is done: truth is observed.

We are on holiday in India from 18 January 2024 until 15 February 2024, living in our Flat in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. There were still actions that required responses on the legal and medical aspects of what has turned out to be an intriguing saga right to end, if there was ever going to be an end. Having ones sight focussed on an ending is materialistic: truth has no ends being a spiritual reality. So truth has to be preserved unendingly. That is how one preserves the Inner Self from whence all truth flows and emanates. This is the thought of the day.

The Creator God is Sri Krishna. He created Brahman consisting of Brahma-Nature with its guna-cosciousness interactions. Through satyagraha, and satya-advaita yoga one climbs up to the level of Brahman attained when one has no attachments. As Brahman one is Bhagwan. Sri Krishna remains outside but as Self one becomes Brahman which is oneness and separateness with Sri Krishna. This phenomenon is known as achintya bed abheda tatwa. As Bhagwan one is at one with Sri Krishna yet separate from Him.

You have heard it before that where there is a will there is a way. This is nonsense in Brahma-Nature Reality wherein if there is any no will there is a way, the truth-path wày that navigates one ideally to the promised land.

The core-essence of humanity is truth: when one loses that one becomes an animal. There is a difference between humans operating on the Self mode of operation and humanimals operating on their ego (self) mode. Only the former see the truth and Truth.

Brahma-Nature's guna consciousness interactions are supramental descent on the universe that generate conspiracy theories on Earth. Maybe so: only. Investigations should determine the truth, life is too complicated to have genuine conspiracies in my view. Still your mind from all attachments to then experience the supramental descent upon Earth like an avatar for the perfection of thoughts and actions. Those 'unattached' are moving towards the Supermind and are automatically on the truth path of experiencing the supramental descent upon Earth for peace and liberation.

Advaita Vedanta is a scientifically proven fact. Being Brahman is perfect Truth-accommodation. You are Brahman but confused because you are attached to your lower self, the body-brain-mind complex. There is no duality in Brahman, the ultimate and permanent Reality. When you know that you are Brahman in its non-duality you are the incarnation of peace because you see Brahman in everyone and everything. Brahmavid Brahmaiva bhavati: he who knows Brahman verily becomes Brahman (Upanishad).

When this is practiced you will eventually become your true nature as the higher being that is without any attachments whatsoever and this state is the Self as distinct from your lower self. You will then be nonchalant, spontaneous and unpremeditated in all your actions and see that you have been truth-accommodating perfectly. This Self is when your mind becomes atman which is Brahman. You see no duality.

Survival is a biological necessity without which neither the self nor the Self (Brahman) is experienced as the purpose of life: so survive for this opportunity. It is difficult to be free of attachments but this is vitaliy important to obtain awareness of the imminent reality to base one's actions on: that is the way to survive. God is experienced through the 'self' mostly dormsnt untill accessed through bhakti whereas the 'Self' (one's true nature) is Brahman upon liberation from life in the Samadhi state.

Which would you rather be: to be fully aware of the imminent Reality and observe and be able to react spontaneously in the perfect mannner, or use your mind to calculate, judge and come to almost certainly fallible conclusions? My view is one cannot trust ones mind to form any jugdment for truth cannot be assessed. That is why man has invented computers and robots to make decisions. For a person peace of mind is the most important thing. For this reason, the mind has to be dropped. The mind takes proactive actions and that is not conducive to truth-accommdation that harmonises with the imminent reality. Spontaneity of reactions ensures that one harmonises when one is mind-free, and thus is totally liberated, including from the Personal God of ones mental creation. One is then Brahma, the Hindu term for the universe which exists as the imminent, durable and permanent Reality. There is no need to think out what needs to be done. is why I have dropped my mind with my earlier conceived God Sri Krishna-Durga.

Advaita: you invent the God you are. In advaita oneness one can invent the ideal God, but no one ever has proof of the existence of any kind of God, whether Personal God or Creator God. For satchitananda one must have invented for oneself the ideal God. Then Advaita is realised and you are it. Tat Tvam Asi. So what is the ideal concept of God? God is Truth and Truth is God. Then one just goes about accommodating the truth, and this definition of advaita is to be called Satya-advaita. If one chooses or invents any other idea of God that does not generate Ananda and so is not Advaita. It is oneness with a God polluted with untruths, so delusional advaita. So Advaita Vedanta is Satya-advaita Vedanta. Sat-chit-ananda is Truth-awareness-bliss. Attachments are impurities in the mind that generate delusional thoughts instead of the awareness of Reality. Brahma is the Hindu term for Physical Energy, the Reality, that manifestats as the universe that we see and experience. Within this Reality we invent our Gods as Personal Entities, the supreme one being the ideal God that harmonious with Brahma. That is Advaita Vedanta, and the path to this ideal God is the truth path, hence to be known as satya-advaita yoga. All that exists is Brahma: I am Brahma, rock is Brahma, tree is Brahma, sun is Brahma; all Physical Energy. Brahma Satya Jagat mithhya is true because the cosmos is a manifestation of Brahma (Physical Energy). So long as the mind is there with thoughts, beliefs and attachments, atman (soul) is present. When the mind disappears only Brahma remains. When the mind has gone for good awareness prevails and one is spontaneous in actions because one has truth as Brahma.

The Self is a state where a person has no objectives, plans, aims, desires, hopes, wishes, expectations, anticipations, cravings, ego, and has learnt to act spontaneously, unpremeditedely and nonchalantly at all times. He therefore has next to no attachments: I say 'next to' because it is near impossible to lose all one's attachments on account of the fact that one's mind is also within the body-brain complex attending to the mundane things that one does to keep one's life going, such as bathing to keep clean, brushing one's teeth, cooking, cleaning, wearing clean clothes, going to the shops, driving a motor vehicle with due care and attention, taking care of the family and so one: one has responsibilities in Nature. In Hindi it is known as kartavya. So one has to care, and one cannot detach oneself from caring for without that living is unsustainable in Brahma-Nature. In Vishista-advaita one immerses oneself in Creation for it is the ultimate form of bhakti (devotion to the Creator represented in one's psyche as the Paramatman. The residual attachments that one has as outlined makes it very difficult indeed for a yogi to realise that the Self is the same as Paramatman with which it is in union, and these moments of union only dawn on one when one wakes up from proper sleep during the morning or during the rest of the day if one takes naps. This truth makes one takes righteous actions of karma (fulfilling one's responsiblities and doing righteous actions as dharma, and is the final Realisation.

Shantanu Panigrahi 4m · Shared with Public It is at the point that the satya-advaitic truth-path brings you to a religion from philosophies that you become a know-all and invincible in what you say and do. Then you are a Master, a guru with all the answers that humanity can put to you on spirituality.

If one does not have peace of mind at all times during the process of learning then there issues something missing in terms of knowledge, understanding and wisdom.

KARMA When one wishes to be perfect, the universe is so constructed that on has to abandon one's past and await the moment that spontaneity. nonchalance and unpremeditatedness determines your next actions. The act so performed takes place from the Self parameter of one's mind and is the most appropriate and correct action to the circumstances that one is facing. Hence this is what is karma, according to the eternal law of the universe, otherwise known as karma in sanatan dharma. It is based on bhakti to the Creator God Sri Krishna-Durga that He/She has got Creation such that each person is potentially self-sufficient and has all that he or she needs to survive with dignity among his fellow human beings and wider Nature. So different ideas are there as what is karma. Mine is as described above. It is the basis of Vishista-advaita Vedanta.
