Vivekla Chudamani Slokas 330-332 :

Sloka 330 :
                                 
जीवतो यस्य कैवल्यं
विदेहेच स केवलः।
यत् किंचित् पश्यतो भेधम्
भयं बॄते यजुः श्रुतिः॥330॥


जीवतो यस्य कैवल्यं -
one who is established in Brahman while being alive;

विदेहेच स केवलः-
such one continues to be established in Brahman even after the fall of the body;

One who is established in Brahman while being alive, continues to be established in Brahman even after death (the fall of the body).

Kaivalyam - means attaining the state of unity with Brahman.


यत् किंचित् पश्यतो भेधम्-
for the one who sees a difference;

भयं बॄते यजुः श्रुतिः-
Yajurveda speak of fear;

For the one who sees even bit of difference - from that state of unity in Brahman or the state of seeing brahman in everything - what happens?

In the earlier slokas we heard a variant of this in terms of forgetfulness- one who suffers from forgetfulness of seeing Brahman every where falls from that path of Brahman.

Here Guru says,Yajurveda speaks of fear from that difference he sees - essentially the fear is the fall from that state of seeing Brahman in everything. Now Guru is taking Vedas as a reference and telling us that Vedas also speak the same thing he taught earlier. The seeing difference ('Bheda') tracks with forget fulness with the same results. We remember Guru said forgetfulness equals death . Thus seeing difference also is equivalent of death.


Sloka summary 330:

"One who is established in Brahman while being alive, continues to be established in Brahman even after the fall of the body. For the one who sees a difference, Yajurveda speak of fear resulting in fall from that state of Brahman."


Sloka 331:
 
यदा कदावापि विपश्चिदेषा
ब्रह्मण्यनन्ते पि अणुमात्रभेदम्।
पश्यत्यदथामुष्य भयं तदेव
यत् वीक्षितं भिन्नतया प्रमादात्॥331॥

यदा कदावापि विपश्चिदेषा -
If at any time the wiseman

ब्रह्मण्यनन्तेपि अणुमात्रभेदम्-
अनन्त ब्रह्मणि अपि अणुमात्रभेदम्-
sees a bit of difference in the infinite Brahman


If at any time the wiseman, sees a bit of difference in the infinite Brahman, what will happen?.


This tracks with the earlier Slokas where we see what happens for a wiseman who suffers forget fulness. There Guru concluded that it is equivalent of death (from that state of Brahman in every being)

Here , the argument tracks around seeing difference in state where we were to see no difference. When we are to see one Brahman everything, the seeing a difference, or seeing a second is equivalent to that of forgetfulness in the state of Brahman. So seeing difference results in a fall.

यथा आमुष्य भयं तदेव -
then at once to him becomes fear
 
यत् वीक्षितं भिन्नतया प्रमादात् -
that which was seen as a difference by mistake.
 
That which was seen as a difference by mistake, then at once to him becomes fear. The difference seen becomes a source of terror, because he is seeing a difference where he was expected to see one. The difference leads him towards that path of destruction or loss of Brahman.

Here , again Guru is bringing forth the support of Vedas. In Vedas it is said
 "द्वितीयात् वै भयं भवति" ; Because of the second fear happens.


Sloka summary 331 : "Whenever the wiseman sees the least difference in the infinite Brahman, then at once that which he sees as a difference through mistake, becomes  source of fear."


Sloka 332 :

श्रुतिस्मृतिर्न्यायशतै निषिद्धे
दृश्येऽत्रयः स्वात्म मतिं करोति
उपैति दुःखोपरि दुःखजातं
निषिद्धकर्ता स मलिम्लुचो यथा॥332॥

श्रुतिस्मृतिर्न्यायशतै निषिद्धे -
That which has been denied by Shrutis, Smrutis and hundreds of other documents;

What is that which is denied by Shrutis, Smrutis etc?. That is about Self or Atman, which is mistakenly throught to be the body or ego. Shrutis and Struts emphatically deny that body is Atman.


दृश्येऽत्रयः स्वात्म मतिं करोति-
अत्र दृश्ये यः स्व आत्म मतिं करोति -
he who identifies with the visible world here

उपैति दुःखोपरि दुःखजातं -
Experiences misery after misery;

निषिद्धकर्ता स मलिम्लुचो यथा -
Like a thief who does something that is forbidden

Sloka summary 332 :

"He who identifies with the visible world here,which has been denied by Shrutis, Smrutis and hundreds of other documents, experiences misery after misery Like a thief who does something that is forbidden."
