Sri Laxminarayan Aithal
स्वयं फलरूपतेति ब्रह्मकुमारः ।। 30 ।।
30. ब्रह्मकुमार (has
told) that : (the Devotion)
has the self-shapeliness of
the fruit.
64. Those who
deliberate upon by
merely taking the
help of intelligence
have the danger
of egoistically obtaining
the knowledge. But,
God is the
Self of all;
therefore, none has
the capacity to
know Him. Through
the help of
which one can
know God who
is the Witness
of all
विज्ञातारमरे केन विजानीयात् ।।(बृ. 2-4-14). ‘There
is no agency
to know that
God who illumines
everything from His
Form of Understanding.’- thus,
speaks याज्ञवल्क्य. But, it
is certain that
those who take
refuge only in
God obtain the
direct experience of God by
His Grace alone.
Not only that,
how do extroverts
suddenly obtain the
strength of mind
to the Principle
of God ?
That’s what the Lord has preached to उद्धव :-
That’s what the Lord has preached to उद्धव :-
योगास्त्रयो मया प्रोक्ता नृणां श्रेयो विधित्सया । ज्ञानं कर्म च भक्तिश्च नोपायोsन्योsस्ति कुत्रचित् ।।
निर्विण्णानां ज्ञानयोगो न्यासिनामिह कर्मसु । तेष्वनिर्विण्णचित्तानां कर्मयोगस्तु कामिनाम् ।।
यदृच्छया मत्कथादौ जातश्रद्धस्तु यः पुमान् । न निर्विण्णो नातिसक्तो भक्तियोगोsस्य सिद्धिदः ।।
भाग. 11-20-6, 7, 8.
The योग of
Knowledge is for
them who have
freed themselves from
passions towards sensual
objects and they
have renounced the
action; the योग of
Action is for
them who have
not freed from
passions; and, the
Devotion is for
them who have
somehow developed faith
in listening the
story of God.
In this manner,
by a good
luck the taste
started in devotion
develops only through
devotion and ends
up with devotion
is quite natural;
and, nothing else
is so easily
and probably become
a chief expedient
for the Devotion.
In the
world, if we
are in need
of any object,
then only we
search for it.
Therefore, that search
may be commenced
from love; but,
there is no
hope that the
love develops from
it only; the
works started with
love may end
up with disgust.
Suppose, one has
a good opinion
towards an object;
while trying to
obtain it if
he knows its
defects he may
stop his effort
to have it; or after
obtaining it the
initial fascination towards
it may disappear.
But, the matter
of devotion is
not similar to
that. As soon
as the devotion
is originated, with
love its taste
goes on increased,
then the love
in it is
still more strengthened;
at last, the
obstacle of egoism
also disappears; then,
we merge in
God who is
the Infinite Ocean
of Love.
65. Those who
are lovingly devoted
to listen the
story, etc. obtain
a flash in
their mind that
the inner expedient
is greater than
the outer one.
The one who
develops a taste
in the inner
expedient become curious
to meditate upon
God remaining in
a lonely place.
बुद्ध्या विशुद्धया युक्तो धृत्या त्मानं नियम्य च । शब्दादीन् विषयांस्त्यक्त्वा रागद्वेषौ व्युदस्य च ।।
विविक्तसेवी लघ्वाशी यतवाक्कायमानसः । ध्यानयोगपरो नित्यं वैराग्यं समुपाश्रितः ।।
अहङ्कारं बलं दर्पं कामं क्रोधं परिग्रहम् । विमुच्य निर्ममः शान्तो ब्रह्मभूयाय कल्पते ।।
भ. गी. 18-51, 52, 53.
According to
these verses, by
purifying the mind,
the one’s natural
state (स्वभाव)
becomes pure; he
controls his inner-organ (अन्तःकरण) and
gives up external
sensual objects; without
having love and
hatred (ऱागद्वेषौ), he
remains in solitude;
he, controlling his
mind, speech and
action (त्रिकरण), always
likes to remain
only in the
contemplation of God;
he has complete
absence of passions
and he frees
from egoism, power,
arrogance, lust, anger
and egoistic attachment;
and, he obtains
only the Form
of Brahman.
