Purna means complete
Brahman is the sole reality, the complete Pūrṇa from which all arises. As long as this completeness is unrealized, one dwells in duality, which is ignorance and the root of all suffering. The entire universe is this Pūrṇa; whatever is taken from it or remains is still Pūrṇa. The human birth is given as an instrument for sādhanā, the spiritual practice to realize the Self. Without this practice, one remains asleep in ignorance, chasing material ends. When the body dies, the soul enters a state like endless darkness, severed from all worldly relations. Time is fleeting; every second lost is gone forever. The urgency is to awaken from this sleep and realize one's true nature before death arrives.
"Pūrṇam adaḥ, pūrṇam idam, pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate. Pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate."
"Jag musāfir dekho, vo kāl kī motor ā rahī hai. Jo kuchh karnā hai so karle."
