Chapter
Samadhi
Sage Dattatreya starts describing Dhyana that destroys the worldly existence. One should meditate on Isvara Who is the very Truth, the very existence, Brahman that transcends all, the panacea for diseases of worldly nature, Who has got his retas (semen) turned upwards, and Who has the form of the world. He should meditate upon the great yogi Isvara with the conception that He I am.
Alternatively, for the attainment of Videha Mukti, he should meditate Upon Atman that is the very Truth, Existence, consciousness, bliss, non-dual entity, pure, eternal without the beginning, the middle and the end, the subtle, intangible, and imperceptible as Brahman I am.
For the person of a great soul who has resorted to the practices of this nature, the knowledge of Vedanta manifests gradually without a doubt.
I am Brahman. Not the worldly existence. Nothing or no one behind me. In the ocean, foams, waves, and the like are generated and dissolved in the same ocean. Likewise, the world dissolves in me. There is no such thing as mind nor the delusion of the world. He, in whom Paramatman has manifested, reaches the supreme state, the state of Purusha, on his own accord.
When the attainment of Brahman is accomplished, the consciousness pervades all and shines always in the mind and nothing could intervene. If he sees all beings in his own Atman and his Atman in all being, he becomes Brahman. He who does not see all beings in Samadhi becomes one with the transcendent Brahman. When one looks upon his Atman as Brahman alone, then all the world becomes delusion alone. There ensues the final bliss.
The great sage Dattatreya said thus to Sage Sankriti who looks upon his own Atman alone without any fear.
Thus ends Darshana Upanishad.
Om Tat Sat!
