How to see Paramatma's Sakar Swaroop in NIRAKAR Brahma?

Brahadaranyaka Upanishad says that the soul has its own light. Our body has to depend on other sources to glow. Then how could our body be a soul?

तत्रैव च समाख्यातःस्वयंज्योतिर्हि पूरुषः ।

जडः परप्रकाश्योङसौ कथं स्याद्देकः पुमान् ।।(अपरोक्षानुभूति 37।।

Our body is made of five elements. It is bound to grow, sustain and end. How can it be a soul? Shruti says that there is no difference and partiality in Brahma नेह नानाङस्ति किञ्चन । Soul and body are different but we cannot see them differently. We consider them as one. The truth is, as an ornament made from gold is gold. All the livings and non –livings emerged from Brahma are one. A knowledgeable person does not consider them separated but an ignorant person sees duality in Paramatma and Jivatma and hence he is afraid of death.

We try to see Paramatma in temples, mosques, and Gurudwara but we cannot see him in poor, distressed, handicapped, or diseased persons. We cannot consider a dirty pig's body as a home of Brahm. Brahadaranyaka Upanishad says अयमात्मा ब्रह्मः AYAMATMA BRAHM: Shruti repeats it frequently but we cannot see Paramatma in any unpleasant body. But that is not the truth. A knowledgeable person could see Paramatma in virtues and vices also. He could accept his friends and enemies as equal. He could see Paramatma in every living because he knows that

स्वप्नो जागरणेङलीकः स्वप्नेङपि जागरो न हि ।

द्वयमेव लये नास्ति लयोङपि ह्युभयोर्न च।।57।।

When he is awakening he experiences Sansar but he forgets about the dream. A dream is not the truth. A dream is not true even when we see it, We can feel it while sleeping. A dream is not true even in the position of awakening and sleeping both; when we are awakened or when we are sleeping. In the same way, the soul is the only witness of the entire situation around and position of awakening, dreaming, and sleeping but it never involves anything.

We see various colors in the sky as white, yellow, saffron, and red, violet, blue but they are a false show. Sky has no color. No colors stay as identification of sky. We see a mirage on the road when there is no water. We see life in plantations but a dry wood has no life. In the same way, the soul is Chaitanya and Sansar is useless for the soul.

यद्वन्मृदि धटभ्रान्ति शुक्तौ वा रजतस्थितिम्।

तद्वद्ब्रह्मणि जीवत्वं वीक्ष्यमाणो न पश्यति ।। 59 ।।

As if we consider pot in sand or ornament in gold, a knowledgeable person sees Brahma in Nirakar Swaroop. The Shape, size, and Yoni of Jivatma are not considered by Saints because they see Paramatma in everything and everybody.

We love our body, our family, our pets, our belongings and for us, our persons and things are our worlds hence when we saw the destruction of things, loss of love or friendship, loss of property or prestige, we curse our fate. We live in Sansar 24*7, while a knowledgeable person lives with Paramatma 24 *7 and hence he knows all the relations, all the situations, all the possessions are temporary.

The palaces are still there and we do not know where the maker of those palaces gone or where the emperors and kings who fought, nearly entire lives for things and accomplishment are existing now! No fort can protect them from destruction. We all know all these things but we cannot accept it and blame our fate. When a Sadhak experiences realization of Brahma and unification with Paramatma all his karma becomes fruitless when he accepts everything as Brahm he could control his senses through YAM यम and NIYAM नियम

सजातीयप्रवाहश्र्च विजातीयतिरस्कृतिः।

नियमो हि परानन्दो नियमात्क्रियते बुधैः।।105।।

As he understands that Paramatma has manifested in all his Swaroop and to accept it, to believe in that positive current of unification of Jivatma and Paramatma and not to accept the adverse action, could provide him pleasure, peace of mind and ecstasy and hence all the scholars try to control their senses and try to feel and experience Paramatma in every particle of the world –the universe. They try to look their desired Sakar Swaroop of Brahma in NIRAKAR Universe

द्रष्टदर्शनदृश्यानां विरामो यत्र वा भवेत् ।

दृष्टिस्तत्रैव कर्तव्या न नासाग्रावलोकिनी ।।

They try to see Paramatma through meditation keeping their MAN: CHAKSHU on the top of nostrils and becomes steady inwardly and by keeping all the senses strictly under their control because only after that Brahm whom they want to see- the Darshanam in the Sakar Swaroop and then up to Nirakar Swaroop can be attained and then the sight whatever a Sadhak wants to see in past or future, believes and knows, he tries to concentrate his eyes of mind- his inward eyes on them and then his journey from PRAGNAN BRAHMA प्रज्ञान ब्रह्म to अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि AHAM BRAHMASMI I am Brahm proceed forward and he could enjoy ecstasy in his meditation. The others who only talk about Brahm but remain aloof to Brahma VRUTI are bound to roam birth after birth in different yonis.

ब्रह्मैवास्मीति सद् वृत्यां निरालम्बतयास्थितिः ।

ध्यानशब्देन विख्याता परमानन्ददायिनी ।।

The real Sadhak with BRAHMAKAR ब्रह्माकार consciousness cannot remain detached to BRAHM Paramatma even for a time-consuming in a wink of an eye NIMESHMATREN निमेषमात्रेण As Rishi Sanakadi and Shuka: cannot live without Paramatma. As Sanakadi and Shuka cannot live without Brahmakar

निमेषार्धं न तिष्ठन्ति वृत्तिं ब्रह्ममयीं विना ।

यथा तिष्ठन्ति ब्रब्माध्याः सनकाध्याः शुकादयः ।।

And Arjun also saw Paramatma NIRANJAN निरंजन NIRAKAR निराकार Swaroop with Sagun Sakar Swaroop and he realizes that Paramatma is having no beginning- birth and an end or death. त्वमक्षरं परमं वेदितव्यं O Krishna! You are Akshar Brahma about whom all the Vedas, Shastras, Purans, Shruti, Upanishads, and saints, described as a source of eternal ecstasy. The visible world rests on your wish. It absorbs within your Swaroop at the time of Pralay after every SARG and it gain emerges in various manifestations with various kinds of Jivatma having different bodies, shapes, Yonis, colors of skin, and nature. Now I understood that whenever the rule of non-religion envelops Sansar. You save your devotees and religion of humanity

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत।

अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ।।

You are only AVYAYA means not bound to any kind of destruction. You exist forever having no beginning birth and an end or death. You have multiplied your Swaroop in billions of Jivatma and non-living things too and created this LILA of Sansar. Your Sakar Swaroop is a form of human faith in different Swaroop by common people and your Nirakar Swaroop is worshipped by saints and knowledgeable people. Hence now I know that there is no end to your power. Sun, moon, and constellations are your forms and you are the one and only creator, savior, and destructor of this universe-Sansar.

Then how could Arjun accept that whatever he has seen within Paramatma could be seen as world and Yug at different times also?

Let us understand Paramatma's Lila from HIM only and surrender to Jagat Guru Shri Krishna...
