THE YOGA-VASISTHA is a popular text on Non-dual God, Ancient in form and philosophical in content it is also known by other names like Knowledge Vasistha,
Maha Ramayana, Vasistha Ramayana and Vasistha and is ascribed to Sage Valmiki himself.
It is in the form of replies given by Vasistha to Sri Rama’s queries regarding philosophical problems of life and death, and human suffering, and treats the essentials of Advaita Vedanta.
Yoga Vasistha, written by Sage Valmiki, is the spiritual teaching imparted by Sage Vasistha to Sri Rama.
Yoga Vasistha is also known as the Maha Ramayana, the Uttar Ramayana and the Vasistha Ramayana It describes how Rama’s knowledge,
wisdom and understanding evolved and progressed throughout the different stages of his Yoga Vasistha is an elaborate work, consisting of 32,000 verses and 64,000 lines.
The main theme of Yoga Vasistha is that the soul is undergoing a dream from which it must awake. This dream represents our association and identification with the world.
The fact that it is described as being a dream means that whatever is in it has to be false. Nothing in a dream can be true.
Waking up from that dream is the ultimate goal, Self-realization. People who are interested in Self Realization can also study the more comprehensive Brihat Yoga Vasistha book and the smaller one, Laghu Yoga Vasistha.
The term Brihat means great, while Laghu signifies small.
The sum total of pleasures of the whole world is a mere drop when compared to the bliss of Moksha When all the desires are destroyed, the extinction of the mind where Mind becomes “No-Mind” is Moksha.
If the illusory I-ness or Ego perishes, the end of thoughts to the Maya is Moksha. Extinction of all Psychological conditioning constitutes Eternal Liberation of the Self.
Self Knowledge is the realization that the Self is in reality not bound, but always pure and free.
Realize that you are the immortal all-pervading Self and become free. This is the goal of our life and the goal of our existence.
