My understanding of Brahman



Diagram below shows my understanding about relationship with Brahman. For understanding I divided Brahman into two part. One is Brahman itself. Second is your self. Third is your body and mind. Essentially, everything is Brahman. But this you wont understand. World's 99.9999% population won't understand Brahman. Therefore, I divided it into three parts. This is not the final diagram. No one can draw the final diagram. Learn from this diagram and the forget this diagram. Don't make this diagram your way of life. This you have always done. You have always made something your way of life. You always got something to do. Could be anything. After birth to death you are not idle even for 1 second.
The lines shows the relationship between you, your body and brahman. In the most of the cases horizontal line is most active. Other two slanted line is virtually absent. Between you and brahman its you. Brahman wants to meet you but you come in between. Your ego comes. Your identification comes. You have layers of identification. You identify yourself with mind. Then with body. Your identification gives you a prejudice. Which in turn is transformed into ego. And ego has many layers of existence. Basically, I wanted to merge lower two points. Because your identification with your body and mind is very strong. So in most of the cases you can merge lower two points and delete the line connecting with Brahman. So, only you are totally identified by your body and your mind. But there are some people who can separate their self with mind and body. That is what is shown in the diagram. You are separated from body and mind but there exist a relation. You are a silent observer of your body and mind.
When this observation will mature more, then left and top point will merge. Then you can say "AHAM BRAHMASMI". "Thou are that". These are the greatest declaration of Hinduism.

Hmmm...its always nice to read ur wrtiteup [philosophy] in morning time. Just now reached to office and read this topic throughly. I 100% agreed with your point that world's almost all people wont understand the word brahman itself. And also if you see truely brahman doesn't exist. Infact people have changed the defination of brahman. Anyway, the diagram you have drawn to represent the real aspect is amazing. I hope people shud read this topic as they need to understand the real meaning of brahman:-)

Shubh, I am really enjoying and feeling good to read your philosophy. Though I haven't read whole topic yet but will read slowly. If possible, plz do write somthing on human relationship in general.

rgds.

Thanks for your comment Rewa Ji.

The real meaning of BRAHMAN cannot be put up into words. Real meaning of BRAHMAN can be understood only/easily into deep meditation. Words, diagrams (as I shown) are for our understanding. Don't get stuck at words and diagrams :)

The unique thing about the diagram is the trilogy between BRAHMAN, You and Your body+mind. Left point is the observer. Right Point is the observant. And these two point is contained in the top point. Finally, left point is merged into top point.

Observe the observer and truth will be revealed.
