A collection of quotes and teachings from Siddhanta Panjara
Remaining always as the basis of everything and in the form of everything - in that Sambhu I always take refuge.
For the destruction of the bond of death we meditate on HIM (Lord Krishna) who is black like the Kalaya flowers, whose form is existence, consciousness and bliss and who is interested in playing on the flute.
We worship that benign Goddess who always shines by the five functions, namely creation, protection, destruction, concealment and blessing.
The entire world of the movable and immovable is submerged in the ocean of Atman; still people deluded by Maya do not know that.
Just as a man, though thirsty, abandons cold water and tries to quench his thirst in the waters of mirage, the sinner out of confusion abandons the blissful Atman and plunges in the great boundless ocean (of Samsara).
Even as the Self is one, though the bodies are many, so also though the entities are different, in all of them the essence is one.
Just as the iron acts in the presence of the magnet, in the same way the body acts only because of the presence of the sentient (Self).
Just as people perform their actions when the sun rises, (though) the sun is neither the agent nor the causative agent, in the same way is the great Self.
He who exists within and without the world in the form of consciousness is verily called Paramatman by the wise.
'I am perfect', 'I am accomplished', 'I am loved', 'I am delighted', 'I am vacuous', 'I am animate'. Thus continuously sinking in the six states, the transmigratory being is bound by his own action like a lion by a chain.
Cultivating ego-sense in the body and sense organs, the embodied one acts continually and is bound to the world by them.
The good and bad Karma done by the Jiva earlier with the previous body is indeed to be experienced here by the being. And the Karma done here is experienced hereafter. Thus is the rule of the Karma of the confused Jivas. Such beings rotate continually like a wheel. But there is a difference with regard to the wise who are devoted and contented. The beings ascertained with intellect that the Gunas contained in the body and sense organs act only for their own enjoyment. And he who does his duty thinking 'I am not the agent of the action', 'it does not pertain to me', is not bound by the action in any way.
The Karma earned prior to the awakening of knowledge is indeed burnt by the fire of knowledge. By no means does it become capable of giving rise to the birth of the embodied one.
Just as there is no sprout for a seed roasted by fire, so also the Karma of the knower of the truth will not yield birth.
When the self-knowledge is attained, the being is not bound by acts done by him and done to him, like lotus-leaf by water.
Just as the butter taken from the milk does not again become milk when thrown back into it, similarly the knower is a knower forever.
