ISAMAYSARA
415 That person who, having read the Samaya Pâhuda, and having known its real meaning, firmly holds to the truth thereof will attain Supreme Bliss
COMMENTARY In the last gătha the author indicates the benefits that will accrue to one who carefully studies the woik dealing with the nature of the Supreme Self It is a well-known fact that the valuc of a study depends upon the nature of the book whereas the book itself derives its value from the subject matter dealt therein This book by Bhagavan Kunda Kunda has as its contents and investigation into the nature of the Supreme Reality called samayasára, by the author which is synonymous with paramātma or the para brahman or the Supreme Self The nature of this parama brahman is said to be jñāna-maya, knowledge, par-excellence, which illuminates the whole of reality and comprehends it within Itself This Self is the Light that illuminates the whole of reality since it has transcended completely the toil and turmoil of the would of samsāra, a world full of jarring discord and, since the Self has reached the place of Perfect Harmony and Supreme Bliss, He is also designated to be ananda-maya or of the nature of Supreme Bliss This parama brahaman characterised by jñānamaya and ānandamaya, all-knowledge and all-bliss, constitutes the subject matter of this book Hence the book itself is thercfore described as Sabda Brahman, the Word Divine, the name which it derives from its contents This Sabda Brahman is therefore the gateway to the Realm of Ultimate Reality, the parama brahman ! One who studies this work carefully and who comprehends clearly its meaning has therefore the privilege of entering into the promised Land of Paradise, the Realm of the Real, the Place of the Paramātma This privilege which he acqures through study leads to the falling off of scales from his eyes He sees a vision He is face to face with the light that lights up the whole Universe His own personality is in tune with the infinite His whole being
throbs in a responsive melody to the divine and perfect harmony . Being in that atmosphere of Supreme Bliss, He himself feels a thrill of joy unsurpassed.--verily a great boon for a noble effort
