Mumukṣu, mokṣa yani “özgür olmak isteyen kişidir”. Bu hayatta gerçekten ne istediğini bilen kişidir, nihai amaç onun için çok nettir. Özgürleşme arzusu nihai ve en büyük arzu olduğunda geri kalan tüm arzular ona hizmet eder, bu kendiliğinden olur. Bunun için ayrıca bir şey yapmanıza gerek kalmaz. İşte bu viveka'dır. Viveka öylesine tam ve eksiksizdir ki mokṣa nihai ereğiniz olur ve geri kalan her şey ona hizmet eder. İşte böylesi bir kişiye mumukṣu denir ve böylesi bir kişinin zihinsel haline de mumukṣutva denir. Benlik, her zaman hazırdır, eğer kişi böylesi yetkin bir zihinle hazırsa o zaman bilgi her zaman işlevini yerine getirir. Tıpkı gözleri açıp bakmak gibi, öğretiye maruz kalırsanız kendinize dair cehaletten kurtulursunuz. Dört-katmanlı yetkinlik ile engellenmiş bilginin önü açılır çünkü gerekli araçlar oradadır. Vedānta öğretisi doğru bir bilgi yolu olarak ancak ve ancak kişi hazırsa kendini gösterebilir. Neye hazır? Tattva-viveka, neyin gerçek olduğunu ayırt etmeye. Bu yüzden de yazar en başta tattva-viveka diyerek kitabı tanıtmıştır.   (Tattvabodha: Vedanta Öğretisine Giriş, Sw. Dayananda, çev. D. Dönmez. Satori Yayıncılık, Sayfa: 66-69)

Chapitre 7 du Viveka Cuda Mani (Le plus beau fleuron de la discrimination) intitulé "Les fausses identifications". Bibliographie:https://www.babelio.com/livres/Sankar... Musique: Calm Whale (https://whaleloryb.bandcamp.com/album...) Narration et réalisation: Bruno Léger Production: Les mécènes du Vieux Sage Que règnent la paix et l'amour parmi tous les êtres de l'univers.  OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

I kriminallitteraturen är lesbisk kärlek ofta något destruktivt och kan fungera som en oväntad twist. Deckarläsaren Anna Nygren försöker lösa mysteriet med sin dragning till mordgåtornas mörka begär. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egnaJag är författare och litteraturvetare. Alltså läser jag mycket. Men ibland ljuger jag om mina läsvanor. Jag har nämligen fastnat i ett deckarträsk och jag kommer inte ut ur det. Det låter kanske som om deckarna skulle vara mitt guilty pleasure, ett hemligt begär. Det är sant, men sanningen är att det är mer än så. Deckarna är mitt sätt att försöka förstå mitt begär. Och det skrämmer mig.Det började när jag var 13 år och hittade Maria Langs deckare ”Mördaren ljuger inte ensam” från 1949 i mammas bokhylla. Där är twisten i mordhistorien att mördaren är lesbisk: Viveka. Hennes replik ”Det var inte Rutger jag älskade, det var Marianne” är nyckelrepliken i boken. Den motiverar alla hennes destruktiva handlingar. Detta var den första queera gestalt jag hittade i litteraturen. Jag lärde mig då, att skulle jag fortsätta älska mina tjejkompisar på det här sättet, så kunde det sluta med ond bråd död. Nästan samtidigt läste jag Åsa Larssons deckare ”Svart stig”. Där är inte mördaren, men mordoffret lesbisk. Och efter att hon mördats tar hennes hemliga flickvän livet av sig – efter att först också ha dödat fyra hundar. Jag lärde mig: Det är inte lätt att vara lesbisk. Det är farligt.21 år senare har jag ännu inte mördat eller blivit mördad. Men mitt begär efter kärlek blandas samman med ett begär efter the dark side, efter något obehagligt, blodigt, skadligt. I läsningen känner jag både bekräftelse och bestraffning. Den dubbla känslan är ett mysterium som triggar mig, en gåta som kräver en lösning.I deckare ses det lesbiska ofta som något ondskefullt, farligt och destruktivt. Det skriver Emma Donoghue i en bok om lesbiska motiv i litteraturen, ”Inseparable. Desire between women in literature”. Det historiskt sett omoraliska och olagliga queera begäret ligger i linje med mördarens karaktär. Samtidigt är den kvinnliga homosexualiteten, till skillnad från den manliga, ofta osynliggjord – och i brottsberättelsen är kvinnogestalter oftast offer snarare än förövare. Den hemliga lesbiska kärleken som ett mordmotiv blir därför en fantastisk twist i deckarintrigen. Ingen kunde ana detta! Ett begär som ingen kunde se! Alla blir lurade! Det lesbiska begäret fungerar som en mörk drivkraft och leder mot döden.Jag tänker på hur jag själv aldrig känt kärleken som god och enkel: Var det för att Viveka och Marianne lärde mig att det kommer sluta med död och elände? Handlar det om att vara farlig eller vara i fara?Jag börjar tänka på faran i att skriva. Maria Lang, eller Dagmar Lange som namnet bakom pseudonymen lyder, var inte bara deckardrottning utan också litteraturvetare. Hon disputerar 1946 med avhandlingen ”Pontus Wikner som vitter författare”. Men det är konfliktfyllt, eftersom hon skriver om det homosexuella hos Wikner, och det gillas inte av akademin, inte då, inte ännu – hon kan först inte lägga fram avhandlingen, utan måste vänta på en lite mer progressiv universitetsledning. I ”Mördaren ljuger inte ensam” låter Maria Lang mördaren Viveka skriva i sin bekännelse: ”Min kärlek var stark och normal för mig, och att den ledde mig till svåra brott berodde inte på att den var särpräglad.” Hon vänder sig alltså bort från en kategorisering av kärleken, och ser dess styrka som viktigare.Efter debuten ”Främlingar på ett tåg” fick Patricia Highsmith beteckningen ”spänningsförfattare”, trots att hon själv inte ansåg att romanen tillhörde en specifik genre. Det skrämde inför publiceringen av romanen ”Carol”, som ofta ses som en queer kultbok. Skulle den göra henne till en lesbisk författare? Hon väljer, precis som Lange, en pseudonym: Claire Morgan. ”Carol” är inte en deckare, och den handlar inte om den lesbiskas död – tvärtom. Läsarbreven strömmar snart in. Och läsarna tackar för att de slipper skära upp handlederna, dränka sig i swimmingpoolen, bli hetero eller kollapsa i helvetet. Highsmith skriver i ett efterord till en senare utgåva att hon föredrar att undvika etiketter. Som lesbisk deckarläsare, tänker jag att hon menar etiketter både som i genrebeteckning och namngiven sexualitet. Jag tror att Highsmiths skeptiska hållning kommer av att det som får ett specifikt namn lätt anses som mindre allmängiltigt. Men kanske är det tvärtom vad vi väljer att kalla saker, som gör dem angelägna?Två centrala begrepp inom den queera litteraturvetenskapen är paranoid läsning och queera läckage. Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick skriver i essän ”You're So Paranoid You Probably Think This Ess Is About You” om hur den paranoida läsningen försöker avslöja fällor och något som finns underliggande, en maktordning. För queers handlar det om att uppfatta hur texter som på ytan ser ut att vara homovänliga, kan ha ett dolt budskap om att man egentligen inte blir någon riktig människa förrän man blivit straight. En sån läsning skapar känslan av att man kan inte lita på någon. Queera läckage handlar istället om att visa hur det även i dom mest heteronormativa texter finns små glipor där queera begär sipprar in, och lyfta fram dom som det allra viktigaste.Jag tänker att något av det farliga queera i ”Carols” lesbiska otrohetsberättelse läcker in i Highsmiths deckare. Kanske är det mitt queera hjärta som inte kan fatta att en heteroromans kan innehålla begär starka nog för mord? Jag läser Highsmiths ”Januaris två ansikten”, som en queer love-hate-berättelse, mellan Rydal och Chester, två amerikanska män involverade i ett triangeldrama och ett mord i Aten. Dom är förhäxade av varandra, dom drabbas av begäret som av blixten, ett starkt sken, som kanske också är döden.På 1500-talet myntades begreppet ”lilla döden”, om det som idag kallas orgasm. Roland Barthes använder samma uttryck för att beskriva en stor läsupplevelse. Det är något med läsningen, med dess njutning. Och något med döden. Jag tror att jag funnit en viktig ledtråd, det känns underbart, men farligt.Kriminalromanen har lästs på många sätt, inte minst som en samhällskritisk eller moralistisk genre. Att läsa genom en queer lins innebär att jag kan förstå deckaren som en möjlig öppning mot en omtolkning av godhet, ondska och begär. Det finns en motsats till den paranoida läsningen: den reparativa. Den är inte misstänksam. Den tror inte att någon är ute efter att straffa en. Eller, den vet att någon är det, men tillåter sig att njuta i stunden. Den tar tillvara på små ögonblick av skeva begär och låter läsaren känna igen sig. Det är därför jag följer mitt hemliga begär till deckarna och brotten, för att de tillåter mig att för en stund omfamna ondskan. Visst är det så att den lesbiska dör, eller straffas, men det är bara en grej som läggs på i slutet, för att kunna tillåta ett förbjudet begär. Jag har hittat en lösning på mitt mysterium. Jag slutar läsa innan bokens gåta har lösts och straffet utdelats.Anna Nygrenförfattare, litteraturvetare och konstnärProducent: Ann Lingebrandt LitteraturMaria Lang: Mördaren ljuger inte ensam, Norstedts 1949Åsa Larsson: Svart stig, Albert Bonniers förlag 2006Emma Donoghue: Inseparable.

In this episode, we explore the balance between personal boundaries and professional spontaneity with LinkedIn expert turned entrepreneurial coach, Viveka von Rosen.   We talk about the integration of technology in business, and how AI is transforming not only workflows but also opportunities, especially for female entrepreneurs. Viveka shares her thoughts on overcoming imposter syndrome, setting boundaries, and the ongoing challenges posed by the glass ceiling.  Will technology and flexibility continue to empower women, or are there new hurdles on the horizon?  Join us and find out how these changes could reshape the future of work for everyone. 

Home Retreats help us inject some of the powerful teachings of the Buddha directly into our everyday lives. This week we're joined by Balajit, Singhashri and Viveka to talk about what lies behind their latest week-long collaborative venture with The Buddhist Centre [Live] - the enigmatically titled ‘The Three Bodies of Belonging'.  In this episode we dive into the the traditional Buddhist teaching / images / metaphors / experiences of the three kayas (‘bodies'): Dharmakaya, Samboghakaya and Nirmanakaya. These are correlated respectively, via Urygyen Sangharakshita's reading of the Tibetan yogi and mystic Milarepa, with human mind, speech and physical body. The discussion that arises out of this takes in not just what it means to belong - but also questions of longing: what the heart yearns for, how we conceive of liberation itself via an embodied and relational approach to Awakening. We explore what individuality and collectivity look and feel like in the light of the trikaya - how the whole of the teaching is pointing to human potential where we have the same faculties, senses, heart, body and mind as the Buddha and everyone else who has ever trodden this path. In that sense, like Buddhism at its best, it's a profoundly hopeful, healing conversation requiring honesty, vulnerability and a new perspective on ‘self', ‘other' and our relationships in the face of the universe. How do we change our stories to allow for genuine and profoundly transformative connection in a suffering world? How might we resource ourselves to blow open wide our own “window of tolerance” for whatever arises in life and become beings with a boundless heart? Join us on the Home Retreat - live or after the fact - to discover with other seekers the luminous and boundless possibilities beyond trauma, fear, anxiety, heartbreak and all that holds us back from a true sense of belonging.

To mark the summer season, we're bringing you some of our favourite episodes from The Laundry archives.In this episode, originally published in November 2022, Marit Rødevand is joined by Viveka Strangert, former Chief Compliance Officer at Swedbank, to discuss: how a naive compliance culture opened the doors for money-launderingIn 2020, Viveka was known as the "whistleblower" in a massive money laundering scandal which saw Swedbank fined 4 billion SEK (€389.8m) by Sweden's financial watchdog for severe deficiencies in its AML processes and for withholding information from authorities investigating its role in the scandal.Even if you're not familiar with this case, it's a fascinating insight into a scandal that rocked the banking sector and will resonate with audiences worldwide.____________________________________The Laundry podcast: Dive deep into the intricacies of financial crime, AML (anti-money laundering), compliance, sanctions, and the ever-evolving landscape of financial regulation.Hosted by Marit Rødevand and Fredrik Riiser – this podcast features renowned experts from banking, fintech, compliance, and investigative journalism.Together, they shed light on the industry's trending topics, analyse mainstream news through a compliance-focused lens, and connect the fight against financial crime to its real-world consequences and ramifications.The Laundry is proudly produced by Strise, the AML Automation Cloud.Get in touch at: laundry@strise.aiWatch our recent product launch, The Q, here.

The truth is, we each have a library's worth of past experiences and conditioning that can cloud our vision, trapping us in looping thoughts. And while that sounds uncomfortable, this is the instinctive reality of the human mind. Every day we face the urge to judge.  Meanwhile, discernment (or Viveka) offers a different path. One of turning inward, reflecting deeply, and distinguishing between what is true and untrue, relevant and irrelevant.  This process is slow and deliberate - deserving of patience, dedication, and deep questioning. Abd if we focus on our breath and embrace meditation, we thin out the incessant chatter of the mind, creating space for discernment to arise and for judgment to dissolve. The ultimate mastery of mind. This is not a lesson in differences though. Rather, this is an invitation to ask ourselves: How often do we allow our minds to snap to judgment missing the opportunity for true insight?   Start the journey now with your free 30-day membership on Omstars.com.

Dṛg-Dṛṣya-Viveka : An Inquiry Into The Nature of The ‘Seer' and The ‘Seen', Discrimination between the Real and the Unreal Attributed to Adi Śankarācarya and Bāratī Tīrtha - Translation by Richard Miller, PhD The Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka contains 46 slokas/verses performing an inquiry into the distinction between the "seer" (Dṛg) and the "seen" (Dṛśya), an overview of samadhi, centering on savikalpa and nirvikalpa, and the reality of Universal Non-Dual Consciousness. Although also attributed to Adi Shankara, the text is most commonly attributed to Bharatī Tīrtha (c. 1350). It is also known as Vakya Suddha, which is attributed to Adi Shankara.

5th Niyama is Isvara Pranidhana complete surrender to the God head of your understanding. To have complete faith in the guiding and protective power of absolute reality behind all life and manifestation. Whatever is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. Yoga is not a religion, however a ‘Spiritual' practice.The teachings suggests we surrender our fruits of our actions, give all of our self over to this Grace that we entrust in and we stay open to what life has to offer. Starting thinking about what you are trying to control, be powerful over? Person, place or thing? Kids, finances, relationships, work outcomes…Or better yet, what would you like to let go of? Fear, anger, envy, resentments…Vyasa one of the commenters of the Yoga Sutras, stated that a mind that is disturbed, distracted and stupefied is not fit for reaching Samadhi. It is only reachable by Yogis who have cultivated a one-pointed and complete still mind, Nirodha. In our focused, diligent practice (Abhyasa) we refine our awareness (Viveka) to observe what arises, discerning our choices in practice. Vairagya is a practice of letting go of sensory observation, training the mind to detach from what arises, distracts or motivates the activity of the mind that prevents it from stillness. This becomes a repetition of mind to practice the art of surrendering that which doesn't serve the practitioner in their pursuit of attaining the state of Yoga.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

An online Dhamma talk by Upāsikā Viveka facilitated by Piotr Planeta from Portal Sasana - https://m.youtube.com/user/sasanaPL. Upāsikā Viveka said that she feels blessed that she had the opportunity to be close to the death journey of two very close people, so she can share her experience with others, so they can have potentially much more peaceful and wholesome death, when it eventually inevitably comes. The talk, guided meditation and Q&A session also touches on other dhamma topics, like progressive training, gratitude, cultivation of the mind etc. 0:00 - Introduction 3:03 - Ist half of the talk  33:45 - Guided meditation 1:05:50 - 2nd half of the talk 1:27:33 - Q&A  Upāsikā Viveka is a deeply practicing dhammacārinī, who was given her Pali name by Ajahn Brahm. She is accredited as an advanced Dhamma teacher by the Buddhist Society of Western Australia. She has lived and practiced mostly in seclusion in Southeast Australia at Khemavara Sanctuary for over 20 years, and under the 8 precepts since 2009. Khemavara is in an isolated bush location surrounded by national parks and is a sanctuary for wild animals. Viveka is a very interesting figure because even though she is a lay person, not having had the opportunity to ordain, she practices with the dedication of a nun. Before renunciation she had a professional background in psychology, specializing in Mental Health, and was instrumental in introducing and spreading the Recovery Based Model throughout Australia. Piotr Płaneta or Upāsaka Sunyanando is a lay follower on 5 precepts, basing his practice on Early Buddhist Texts and teachings of Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Sona and Upāsikā Viveka. He is a P.hD student finishing his thesis on "Cognitive and Functional Aspects of Meditation in Theravada Buddhism". He's a lay dhamma and meditation teacher and organiser of retreats and various dhamma events, both with monastics and his own. Right now he's mostly focused on connecting Poland with Buddhist Society of Western Australia and tradition of Ajahn Brahm, organising many events with renunciates related to this project. Together with his kalyana-mittas, he's trying to establish the first Theravada Buddhist Monastery in Poland. Please support the BSWA in making teachings available for free online via Patreon.

Goals  - Heather: Choose a color that you really love, that you're attracted to, and that makes you feel good; wear it and notice how you feel about it. And then also choose a color that you wouldn't typically go for and put that on this week too. Pay attention, slow down or stop, and notice what's happening for you when you put that color on. - Kat: Do something good for yourself - something that makes you feel special - every single day - Viv: Your audience needs to hear from you; get on camera Final Thoughts - Heather: Everyday, look for the things that make you feel open and full of possibility - Kat: Be kind to yourself and be kind to the people around you; never miss an opportunity to do something kind - Viv: We come from a paradigm of struggle and that you have to struggle in order to succeed.

17th verse: “Extremely conceited, haughty, filled with pride and intoxication of wealth, they perform all sacrifices with great ostentation disregarding all ordinances.” This is the literal translation. The meaning of the verse is that such people do things in an improper manner without any consideration for propriety.Kama refers to desire – the mind wants to go after worldly desire all the time. Dambha refers to religious or spiritual pride and superiority. Māna means they think they deserve more honor than others. Mada means delusion, an over estimation of one's abilities. These are characteristics of people who become conceited and indulge in showmanship.Sri Ramakrishna refers to three types of devotees – Sattvic, who are serene and contemplative. Rajasic who are externally expressive. And Tamasic who worship in a careless manner.18th verse: “Filled with egotism, power, insolence, lust and anger, such people hate Me. They do not recognize the presence of the divine spark in themselves and in others.”There are two types of strengths. In the first type, one has wealth, power, status but he is self-restraint. He does not have aversion towards anyone. In the second type, the power is accompanied by extreme likes and dislikes.It is important to combine any kind of power with humility and self-restraint. If a wealthy or powerful person is humble, it is a blessing to society.Ramanuja says in his commentary on the 18th verse: “The very idea of Viveka (discrimination) and Vairagya (renunciation) never comes to them because they have no genuine devotion to God. Their mind remains impure, and they always criticize. They think of someone who exercises self-restraint as weak. They think of knowledge without showmanship as ignorance.”19th verse: The literal meaning is: “These people – who are proud, malicious, cruel and born of evil qualities – I hurl them perpetually in the wombs of the demons.” The interpretation is: “Those who deliberately do sinful deeds, they fall into perpetual demonic state.”There is no eternal damnation in Hinduism. Only Madhvacharya talked about it. The majority do not accept this view. God is not the arbitrator.Gita says that we should build our own spiritual destiny. We reap according to the types of seeds we sow. According to our own actions, we create heaven or hell like conditions in our life.If we take refuge in God's grace, our destiny will change. But we have to make ourselves graceworthy with our own self effort. Such refuge requires complete self-surrender. If we do so, it will be difficult for us to do anything wrong.Prapati is the highest state of a devotee of God. Prapati means complete surrender and is composed of the following characteristics. (1) Always having a positive outlook in life, full of sattvic qualities such as serenity, wisdom, compassion, and broad mindedness. (2) Rejecting all the opposing qualities such as skepticism and self-doubt. (3) Strong faith that God will protect me. (4) Total self-surrender.One of the Brahma Sutras says: “God is taking care of everything. Everything happens according to our previous deeds.”Though everything comes from God, God is not responsible for what we do. We act according to our own samskaras. Just professing a belief in God will not change our life. Prapati or complete self-surrender will have an immediate effect.20th verse: “Those who hate others and reinforce their own evil character, they continue to rotate in this cycle of samsara.”21st verse: “There are three gates to a hellish life – hellish conditions created from our own actions. These three gates are lust, anger and greed (kamah, krodhah, lobhah). These three should be abandoned.”Every wrong action has desire or lust as its source. Once we have a desire, we direct our senses and energy to fulfill that desire. Not all desires are fulfilled. When the desire remains unfulfilled, we become angry. And then there is endless greed.Patanjali prescribes five yamas (important) and five niyamas (auxiliary) in Yoga Sutras. When we practice yamas and niyamas, these three gates are closed.The five yamas are: ahimsa (non-violence, satya (truthfulness), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (right use of energy) and aparigraha (non-hoarding). The five niyamas are: saucha (cleanliness), santosha (contentment), tapas (austerity), svadhyaya (study of scriptures) and Isvara Pranidhana (surrender to God).In terms of inquiry, there are two types of seekers. (1) Those who are humble, straightforward and inquisitive. Once they are convinced of the truth, they become champions of that truth. Swami Vivekananda was such as seeker. (2) Those who ask questions without any seriousness. They pretend to be convinced, but they keep asking the same questions again.A spiritual seeker should practice friendliness (Maitri) towards fellow spiritual seekers, practice compassion (Karuna) towards those who are less evolved, practice happiness (Mudita) towards those who are more evolved, and practice a filtering attitude (Upeksha) towards those who may shake his faith.
