Panchadashi
Module - A
Unit - A05: Introduction to Eternal Cycle
By Raja Subramaniyan

On completion of this Unit, the student will be able to
(a) Define Eternal Cycle
(b) Understand why we are caught in a Eternal Cycle
(c) Identify the only means to getting liberation from Eternal Cycle

Notes to the teacher: (Ref 1.29 to 1.32 of the original text)

Start the discussion with a question "What is the cause of the sorrow/ sad moments in life?" Go systematically until the class reaches the right reason, 'absence of self-knowledge' (Delusion) is the root cause.

Prove that the ONLY cause for the sufferings of ALL the human beings is Delusion.

Also, prove that majority of the people think that the environment (eternal cycle) is the cause of our suffering.

Prove that the first effect of Delusion, namely projecting power is shifting our attention from the real cause from the apparent cause ... death of a relative

Prove that every one looks externally all the time ... looking at our own mind is also external ... the only thing to be seen is to look inside at our real self ONE
