The teacher begins to answer with the fifth question posed by the student: “What is anatman?”. The Absolute Reality cannot be defined. After discussing what is unreal, whatever is left out (undefined) is Absolute Reality. In answer to the 5th question, the teacher discusses the three sariras: Sthula sarira (gross body), sukhshma sarira (subtle body, the personality behind the gross body) and karana sarira (lack of understanding of our true nature).
Shankaracharya begins the text in the 1st verse with obeisance to his teacher: Govinda Bhagavatpada. “The one who understands the meaning of great vedantic statements, who understands the truth of the vedas, who is a knower of vedantic wisdom, to that Guru, I pay my respects.”
The 2nd and 3rd verses celebrate human life as a rare gift from God.
2nd verse: “Human birth is a rare gift from God. Ever harder to obtain is an aspiration for spiritual truth. Understanding of scriptures is harder. Hardest of all is discrimination between Atman and non-Atman. Without a huge stockpile of spiritual merits from many life cycles, this cannot happen.”
The 3rd verse says: “Only through God’s grace, we get these three rare gifts: (1) Being born as a human being (2) Desire for liberation (3) Coming in contact with a great holy person.”
The ability to come out of the empirical pleasures of life with an aspiration for liberation and coming in contact with someone who makes us think of higher ideas is a great gift from God. We find a great example in Buddha who renounced his kingdom and took a strong vow to realize the truth.
The 16th verse describes who is fit for spiritual enquiry. It says: “He should have proper intelligence. He should be able to listen and understand what he listens to. He should be able to retain in his mind what he studies. He should be an expert in the following two qualities: (1) Uha, the ability to accept what is to be accepted (2) Apoha, the ability to reject what is to be rejected.
Spiritual life needs a lot of alertness to prevent the mind from taking us away from the spiritual path. For example, a single click on the internet can be the beginning of such a downward journey. Shankaracharya illustrates this 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.”
Bhartihari says in the Niti-Shatakam: “In good times, such as when we have a lot of wealth, our mind should remain soft, beautiful and fragrant like a lotus. During difficult times, we should be strong and firm like the rocky mountain.”
