Guest guest Posted June 24, 1999 Report Share Posted June 24, 1999 aakranditaM ruditamaahatamaanane vaa kasyaardramastu hR^idayaM kimataH phalaM vaa. yasyaa mano dravati yaa jagataaM svatantraa tasyaastavaamba purataH kathayaami khedam.h ..3.. I wail (akranditaM), shed tears (ruditaM) and beat my face in agony (aanane aahatam vaa), but whose heart in this world (kasyaH hR^idayaM) will soften in compassion (aardram), even if it does (athaH), what use of it any way (phalaM vaa kiM)? O MOTHER (ambaa), SHE whose heart will melt (yasyaa mano dravati) and SHE who can direct the universe and its beings independently (jagataaM svatantra), in front HER, that is YOU (tasyaa tava purataH), I tell my sorrows (kathayAmi khedaM). In this verse, shrii diikShita emphasizes that only jagan maataa can help him and not the people of the world. Here some points should be noted. Being an adminstrator and having served the king, shrI dIkshIta must have witnessed many a sorrowful tale told before the king without evoking sympathy. Even such extreme cases as are beyond the scope of a mortal to solve. GOD is the only independent being, and SHE alone can direct the Universe according to HER will. Besides that, being the Mother of all, HER heart will melt quite easily in compassion. The gist of this verse: do not tell your worries or troubles to others but only to GOD. As the previous verse mentioned, we tell HER, not because SHE does not know, but for our own relief. SHE who is karma phala pradA will do only what is good for us. ------ eGroups.com home: - Simplifying group communications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
