Jaya EkadaSi of Sri Plava year

As the prarabdha karma unfolds at its own pace, the moon has completed 161 pradakshinas around the Earth since The Final Post 

By the infinite grace of Guru, the study into the mahA rAmAyaNa came all the way up to the Uttara-artha of nirvaNa prakaranam.

Bhagavan Vasishtha says to Lord rAma (NirvaNa uttarartha Sarga 32 Slokam 18) :

kOham kathamidam dRSyam kO jIvaH kim ca jIvanam
iti tattvjna samyOgAt yAvajjIvam vichArayEt

Who am I? How does this appearance emerge? Who is the jIva (individual-consciousness)? What is this process called life? By associating with a realized person (tattvajna) continue the vicharaNa (inquiry) all along! 
This is the advice for the one who has reached the conclusion. 

Studying yoga vasishtha serves the purpose of satsanga and vichara.

."..As it is difficult to identify a real tattvajna, first discuss with all sorts of teachers... they will give their own opinions... and also contradict other teachings... when you take a non-partial view about such teachings and discussions, you will arrive at the conclusion for yourself. You will also identify the truly realized teacher.... then go to such realized teacher in private to get your own inquiry sharpened. Once you have learned self-inquiry, that is the best method...."

May the grace of Lord rAma be on one and all in all layers of existence on the "jaya" EkAdaSi eternally!
