advatin's mind set

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends:

 

While writing my previous post I also came across a note that

expresses the advatin's mind set and hence thought of sharing it

with the group.

 

ruupa.m ruupavivarjitasya bhavato dhyaanena yad varNitam |

stutyaa nirvacaniiyataakhilaguro duuriikR^itaaa yanmayaa ||

vyaapitva.m ca vinaashita.m bhagavato yattiirthayaatraadinaa |

xantavya.m jagadiisha tadvikalataadoShatraya.m matkR^itam ||

 

Meaning - bhagavaana has no ruupa (form), but I made it into a form

for the purpose of meditation. Similarly, whit the praise of

sarvaguro (a primordial teacher) I have damaged the anirvacaniiyata

(that cannot be expressed in words). Furthermore, by defining

tiithayatraa (visiting pious and religious places) I have violated

the omnipresence as well. Thus I have sinned for these three thing

as beg for forgiveness.

 

Regards,

 

Dr. Yadu

 

PS: Author is not known to me, if some one knows the reference I

would highly appreciate it.

Namaste Yaduji,

 

 

 

A very similar sloka is found in Avadhuta Gita (8.1):

 

 

 

Tvadhyaatrayaa vyaapakathaa hathaa te

 

Dhyanena chethah parathaa hathaa te

 

Stutyaa mayaa vaakparathaa hathaa te

 

Kshamasva nityam trividhaaparaadhaan

 

 

 

"By doing teertha yaatraas, your all-pervasive nature was violated

(might not be the exact translation of the Sanskrit word hathaa). By

doing meditation, your nature beyond the intellect has been violated. By

praising, your nature beyond words has been violated - kindly pardon me

for these three sins!" (Translation might be not correct or exact).

 

 

 

Thanks

 

Hariram

 

Let a moment not pass by without remembering God

Namaste, Yadu-ji

 

This shloka is very familiar to me since my father's puja notebook

has this shloka in his puja-paddhati. But I don't know the source!

It is interesting how the advaitic traditions have spread into all

nooks and corners far and wide throughout the subcontinent of India!

 

PraNAms to all advaitins

Namste ProfVK:

 

I hope Moderators do not classify this a beyond the scope of this

discussion.

 

The reason why shared the shloka was to imply the significance of

advaitic concepts that need to be practiced and all saadhakaa's

(individually) need to crosses the barriers of dvaita to become and

realize the unity (advaita). IMO - this is what advaita teaches us

to cross the boundaries and reaching out of our comfort zones (you -

yourself; me - mine : .... etc.) by recognizing diversity and

realizing unity.

 

Only if our ancestors (in the recent past) had practiced, may be our

history would be different as well.

dhaaribhyo j~naaninaH shreShThaa\, j~naanibhyo vyavasaayinaH ||

manusmR^iti 12-103||

 

Meaning - Someone who has studied a little is better than totally

ignorant. Someone who has memorized them are better than someone

who knows a little. One who knows the meaning is superior to those

who just memorize. However, one who practices it definitely the

most superior.

 

With apologies if I have diverted. Naturally, there is no need for

further discussion on this list.

 

Regards,

 

Dr. Yadu

praveen:

Sorry for replying to an old thread, but I read this in a book "The Acharya:

Sankara of Kaladi" by Shri Madagulu and also saw in the movie

Shankaracharya. Our acharya uses this shloka just before deha-tyaaga (sorry

if this is common knowledge) and my understanding was that Shankara is the

source.

Namaste,

 

I could not locate this verse in the Complete Works of

Shankara (Samata Books).

 

S. Radhakrishnan, in his Introduction to BrahmaSutra - The

Philosophy of Spiritual Life, (p. 37) gives another version, but gives

no reference ( and is not found in the Works either):

 

yAtrA mayA sarva-gatA hatA te

dhyAnena chetaH-paratA hatA te |

stutyAnayA vAk-paratA hatA te

kShantavyam etat trayam eva shambho ||

 

"Forgive me, O Shiva! my thre great sins.

I came on a pilgrimage to Kashi forgetting that you are omnipresent;

in thinking about you, I forget that you are beyond thought;

in praying to you I forget that you are beyond words."

 

S.R. compares this with the words of poet Francis Thompson (1859-1907):

 

'O world invisible, we view thee;

O world intangible, we touch thee;

O world unknowable, we know thee;

Inapprehensible, we clutch thee.'

 

[ from the poem The Kingdom of God-

I have not heard of this book by Dr Radhakrishnnan. Is it only an

introduction or is also a commentary on the sutras?

 

Many thanks and praNAms,

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

It is a complete translation, profusely annotated, and a 223

page Introduction, published by George Allen & Unwin Ltd. London,

1960.
