このコンテンツについて
The person endowed with highest level of sattva guna is contemplative in nature. A normal cultured human being endowed with sattva guna will have a mix of rajo-guna that helps him be active.
The 7th-11th verses of 13th chapter of Gita describe the characteristics of such a person. These characteristics are: (1) Humility – not being too proud of oneself (2) Not pretentious – respects others but does not demand respect from them (3) Non-violence in thoughts, words and deeds, as he instinctively feels spiritual affinity with entire creation (4) Forbearance (5) Uprightness (6) Service mindedness (7) Mental purity (8) Steadiness (9) Self-control – the spiritual energy from his noble actions gives him steadiness and self-control (10) Sense of renunciation towards sense pleasures (11) Absence of egoism (12) Ability to look upon birth, death, sickness and old age as imperfections of this empirical life. (13) Non-attachment (14) Not being obsessively attached to near and dear ones (15) Equanimity of mind in happiness and unhappiness (16) Constant, unwavering devotion to the spiritual ideal (17) Inclination for solitary places (18) Aversion to mundane society (19) Constant reflection of spiritual knowledge (20) Realizing the ultimate purpose of knowledge.
The 10th verse of the 13th chapter of Gita expounds the idea that the highest devotion, unwavering dedication to one spiritual ideal, is the same as highest knowledge.
Shankaracharya says that in spiritual literature, whenever a list of characteristics of a spiritually enlightened person is provided, there is only one purpose. These characteristics constitute the road by which we should travel to reach the goal that the enlightened person has reached.
The 120th verse says that such a person is established in yamas, niyamas, shraddha, bhakti and Sadhana Chatushtaya Sampatti.
The 121st verse states that such a person enjoys chitta-prasada, inner serenity. He has successfully turned his mind into a friend.
Sattva guna refines our energy, activities, emotions and desires. It gives a higher purpose in life.
If we don’t have sattva guna, mind develops non-spiritual qualities. Sattva guna can be developed by practicing yamas and niyamas (yoga philosophy) or navadha bhakti (bhakti tradition). Noble, unselfish deeds also produce spiritual energy.
Shankaracharya emphasizes the importance of tenacity and steadiness in spiritual life in the 326th verse. “Imagine a child playing with a ball at the top of a staircase. If the ball falls, it does not stop until it reaches the bottom. Similarly, in spiritual life, we should be very vigilant not to make mistakes.”
In the 126th and 127th verses, the teacher begins to answer the sixth question “What is the supreme Atman?” The absolute reality remains as the supreme witness in all three states of awareness – waking state, dream state and deep sleep state.
There is a difference between non-mind (amani-bhava) and deep sleep. In amani-bhava, we transcend the mind and all three states of awareness. In deep sleep, the mind is there but benumbed. One does not come out of deep sleep transformed into a saint.
