Vivekachudamani  = “The Crest-Jewel of Discrimination" 

VOL-1. The PURPOSE of Human Life

PART 1: (Sloka-s 1-66, 66 No.)

Slokam-48.

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

1.7 THE DISCIPLE’S QUESTIONS 

(Slogas 48-55, 8 No.)

BEFORE OPENING THE ‘Question Box’ of the student, it is noteworthy to see the 

nobility of his mind from his words up to this point. We know that this student has the three 

basic noble virtues for studentship: 


a) He is self-disciplined. The true meaning of being a disciple is to submit voluntarily 

to the discipline asked by the Guru. 


b) He is not a moral wreck. He has lived his life according to the Shastras to the best 

of his ability. We know that he has followed the scriptural rules in obtaining whatever he 

desired in the world. 


c) He is noble-minded. He is making a sincere effort to emulate the conduct of the 

great, the noble, the wise. They are his role models.


When such a student used to approach Pujya Gurudev (Swami Chinmayanandaji), he 

used to say at once, “Shoot!” meaning “Fire away. I am ready to answer.

Slogam - 48: Hope Prompts the Disciple’s Questions

0 shishhya uvaacha; The Disciple says:

1 kripayaa shrooyataam svaamin        =  Kindly listen, O Master,

2 prashnah ayam kriyate mayaa;        =  to these Questions being posed by me;

3 yad uttaram aham shritvaa              =  On hearing the reply to them coming

4 kritaarthah syaam bhavanmukhaat. =  from your own mouth, I shall be satisfied.

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

Commentary:

1-4 This student phrases his appeal very intelligently and reverentially, not with 

‘hands in his pocket’. He begs his Master to listen to his questions, and carefully ensures

that he hears the answers from his own lips; that he is not asked to go and “google” it for 

himself. He is confident his Master will clear all his doubts to his satisfaction.

      Description of Vijnānamaya kośa and its negation(verses 184-188) : -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 184. The intellect with its modifications along with the organs of perception form the intellectual-sheath (vignanamaya-kosa). It has the characteristics of ―the agent‖(or doer), which is the cause for transmigration. 185.  Accompanied by a reflection of the light of consciousness, the intellectual-sheath is a modification of Primordial Matter (Prakriti). It is endowed with the function of knowledge and action and is always completely identified with the body, sense-organs, etc. 186. It is without beginning, is of the nature of the ego (I-sense), and is called the embodied self, which carries out the entire range of activities on the relative plane. It performs good and evil actions according to its previous latent tendencies, and experiences their results. 187. It comes and goes, up and down, taking birth in various bodie

  Sense objects: a trap (verses 76-82)   76. The deer, the elephant, the moth, the fish and the honey-bee---these five meet death because of their bondage to one of the five senses. What then is the condition of a person who is attached to all five?   77. Sense-objects are even more virulent in their tragic effects than a king cobra. Poison is fatal to one who swallows it, but the sense-objects kill him who merely looks at them. with his eyes.   78. One who is liberated from the terrible bonds of desires for sense-objects, so very difficult to renounce, is alone fit for liberation and none else, even if well-versed in all the six schools of philosophy.   79. Those who have only an apparent dispassion and are trying to cross the ocean of worldy existence are caught by their throats by the shark of desire which violently dragging them along, drowns them in the middle of the ocean.   80. He who slays the shark called ―sense-objects‖ with the sword of mature dispa
