448 <strong>Essays</strong> on the Gitaa positive of pure, indeterminable, stable, eternal self-existenceand as its negative of a world of elusive determinations andrelations, ideas and forms, perpetual unstable becoming andthe creating and uncreating tangle of action and evolution,birth and death, appearance and disappearance. He embracesand escapes them, overcomes their opposition and becomes allknowing,sarvavid, a whole-knower. He sees the entire senseboth of the self and of things; he restores the integral realityof the Divine; 6 he unites the Kshara and the Akshara in thePurushottama. He loves, worships, cleaves to and adores thesupreme Self of his and all existence, the one Lord of his andall energies, the close and far-off Eternal in and beyond theworld. And he does this too with no single side or portion ofhimself, exclusive spiritualised mind, blinding light of the heartintense but divorced from largeness, or sole aspiration of thewill in works, but in all the perfectly illumined ways of hisbeing and his becoming, his soul and his nature. Divine in theequality of his imperturbable self-existence, one in it with allobjects and creatures, he brings that boundless equality, thatdeep oneness down into his mind and heart and life and bodyand founds on it in an indivisible integrality the trinity of divinelove, divine works and divine knowledge. This is the Gita’s wayof salvation.And is that not too after all the real Adwaita which makesno least scission in the one eternal Existence? This utmost undividingMonism sees the one as the one even in the multiplicitiesof Nature, in all aspects, as much in the reality of self and ofcosmos as in that greatest reality of the supracosmic which is thesource of self and the truth of the cosmos and is not bound eitherby any affirmation of universal becoming or by any universal orabsolute negation. That at least is the Adwaita of the Gita. Thisis the most secret Shastra, says the Teacher to Arjuna; this isthe supreme teaching and science which leads us into the heartof the highest mystery of existence. Absolutely to know it, toseize it in knowledge and feeling and force and experience is to6 samagraṁ mām.
The Three Purushas 449be perfected in the transformed understanding, divinely satisfiedin heart and successful in the supreme sense and objective ofall will and action and works. It is the way to be immortal, torise towards the highest divine nature and to assume the eternalDharma.
