The five sense organs of action are-speech, the hands, the legs, the anus and the genitals. The presiding deities of the organs of action are -agni (fire) of speech, Indra of the hands, Vishnu of the legs, Yama of the anus and Prajapati of the genitals. The function of speech is to speak, that of the hands to grasp things, of the legs locomotion, of the anus elimination of waste and the genitals, pleasure {procreation}.

What is the waking state? The state of experience in which the sense objects like sound are perceived through the sense organs like the ears, is the waking state. The self, identified with the gross body, is then
called vishva.

The intellect and the five sense organs of perception together is the intellectual sheath. It is subtle, and pervades the former three sheaths. It controls the other three. It constitutes the intellect and the five sense organs or perception. The five senses are common to both the mental and intellectual sheaths as perception involves both the mind and the intellect.

Then what is the self?
It is of the nature of existence, consciousness, bliss.
What is existence? That which remains unchanged in the three periods of time {past, present and future} is existence.
What is consciousness? It is of the nature of absolute knowledge.
What is bliss? It is of the nature of absolute happiness.
Thus one should know oneself to be of the nature of existence-consciousnes-bliss.

From the tamas aspect of these five elements, the grossified five
elements are born.
If it is asked how this panchikarana takes place, it
is as follows.
– The tamas aspect of each of the five elements divides into two equal parts.
– One half of each remains intact.
– The other half of each gets divided into four equal parts.
– Then to the intact half of one element, one-eight portion from each of the other four elements gets joined.
– Then panchikarana is completed.
– From these five grossified elements, the gross body is formed.
Thus, there is identity between the microcosm and the macrocosm.

The reflection of Brahman, which identifies itself with the gross body, is called the jiva. This jiva by nature takes Ishwara to be different from himself or herself. The self conditioned by ignorance {maya} is called
Ishwara. So long as the notion that the jiva and Ishwara are different remains, which is due to the difference in the conditioning, till then, there is no redemption from samsara which is of the form of repeated birth, death etc. Due to that reason, the notion that the jiva is different from Ishwara should not be accepted.

But the jiva is endowed with ego and his knowledge is limited, whereas, Ishwara is without ego and is omniscient. Then how can there be identity, as stated in the mahavakya, “That thou art’, between these two who are possessed of contradictory characteristics?
If there is such a doubt, no {it is not so}. That literal meaning of the word ‘thou’ is the one identified with the gross and subtle bodies. The implied meaning of the word ‘thou’ is pure awareness which is free from all conditionings and which is appreciated in the state of samadhi. So also the literal meaning of the word ‘That is Ishwara having omniscience etc.; the implied meaning of the word that is the pure awareness, free from all conditionings. Thus there is no contradiction regarding the identity between the jiva and Ishwara from the standpoint of awareness.

Thus by the words of Vedanta and the teachings of the satguru, those in whom the vision of the truth is born in all beings, are liberated while living {jÄŤvanmuktah}.
Then who is a jīvanmuktah? Just as one has firm belief ‘I am the body’; ‘I am a man’; ‘I am a Brahmin’; ‘I am Shudra’, in the same way one who by his immediate knowledge {aparoksha jnana} has firmly ascertained, ‘I am not a Brahmin’; ‘I am not a Shudra’; I am not a man’ but ‘I am unattached’ and of the nature of existence-consciousness-bliss, effulgent, the indweller of all and the formless awareness is a jīvanmuktah.
By immediate knowledge that I am Brahman alone, one becomes free from bondage of all karmas.

If one is asked-how many kinds of karmas are there, {the reply is} there are three kinds of karmas, viz., agami, sanchita and prarabdha.

The results of actions, good or bad performed by the body of the realised soul {jnani} after the dawn of knowledge is known as agami.

The result of actions performed in {all} previous births which are in seed form to give rise to endless crores of births in future is called Sanchita {accumulated} karma.

Having given birth to this body, the actions which give result in this very world, in the form of happiness or misery and which can be destroyed only by enjoying or suffering them is called prarabdha karma.

Sanchita karma is destroyed by the firm knowledge, ‘I am Brahman’ alone.
The agami karma is also destroyed by knowledge and the wise man is not affected by it-as a lotus leaf is not affected by the water on it {padma patram ivambhasa}.

Further, to those who praise, serve and worship the wise man, go the results of the actions done by the wise man. To those who criticise, hate or cause pain to the wise man go the results of all unpraiseworthy and sinful actions done by the wise man.

Thus the knower of the self, having crossed samsara, attains supreme bliss here itself. The shruti affirms-the knower of the self goes beyond all sorrow. Let the wise man cast off his body in Kashi or in the house of a dog-eater {it is immaterial} because at the time of gaining knowledge {itself} he is liberated, being freed from all the results of his actions. So assert the smritis too.
