115. బహర్ మ్పథము (Brahmapadamu)
After having known the limitation of the individual self, and crossing some hurdles of seeking and declaring ones’ independence with the Guru even by cheating him, one who perseveres in the path of spirituality moves into the realm of Brahman. The self now not only moves but also grows in his consciousness very vast.
It is expansion in consciousness. We move in path of Master i.e. we are moving towards universalness, which is ever expanding. There is no end to the expansion of the brahmand, which for purposes of classification is called by some as parabrahmand.
Brahmapadam means we are moving in the brahmand, in the path of Brahman. Brahmalaya is where we get into brahmalaya. Atmalaya comes before. This atmalaya has been taken as brahmalaya. When we come to the parabrahmand, this atmalaya becomes brahmalaya and we move into the realms of para brahmand, a realm which is not discussed in the majority of the philosophy books. In vedanta, no one talks about parabrahmand, 238
