Summarized by Anand Santhanam:
Summary
Pursuit of happiness.
- As we look inward, we will realize the ultimate truth.
- The cycle of manifest and unmanifest continues
- The supreme is the one that is always the seer. When something is moving there is always a constant that is observing the change. Because of this constant observer, we know that there is a change.
- There is difference between love and devotion.
- Differences in the Shruti, Yukthi and Anubhavam.
Sloka 23-26
These are very controversial slokas
There are two routes taken by the Atma
- Moon path allows the Athma to enjoy the fruits of your action, and then come back for “re-birth. This is applicable for most humans who indulge in materialistic or selfish actions.
- Sun path attains moksha
Those who do their un-selfish karmas and also meditate on the supreme Brahman, attain moksha. They will initially go to Brahma loka, where lord Brahma will provide knowledge. They they will eventually merge with the Brahman at the time of Pralaya.
Few exceptional cases who are totally surrendered to the Brahman, and perform actions only for the welfare of this creation reach Brahman directly.
Themes
- path of ignorance has Vaasanas. Involves hell/heaven and rebirths
- Path of knowledge leads to Brahman/Moksha either through Brahma loka (Krama Mukthi) or Directly (Kaivalya mukti).
