Loud thinking--4

Dear Asthikas

Let us now know seven means.

Whomsoever Baghvan chooses , by him alone is He

reached. For it is indeed the dearest one that

becomes worthy tobe chosen . To whomsoever He is

unsurpassingly dear, he alone is the dearest to Him.

What is required for the acquisition of that ( Loving

devotion) is knowledge born of scriptures and

functioning along with the seven means known as

discrimination etc for it is declared in the

scriptures to the effect that Brahmanas desire to know

Him by reciting the Vedas, by sacrifices, by giving

gifts, by religious austerities associated with

fasting.

The seven means stated here are

 

Firm memory results wholly from

Viveka(discrimination), vimoka ( Freedom),

Abhyasa(practice),Kriya(work),

Kalyana(auspiciousness), Anasada(absence of weakness),

and Anuddharsha(absence of excessive merriment>

 

Discrimination means , here, the purifications of

the body by means of food which is not impure, either

because of its own nature, or because of its source ,

or because of any special cause.

The scriptural authority for this --when the food

is pure , the mind becomes pure; when the mind is

pure , there is firm memory.

Let us worship Sri Hayagreevan with firm memory. Let

us always worship like this. He will grant virtues to

us. He will bless us with immutable satva gunas. He

will give whatever we request. Ultimately He will take

us to Paramaptha

Let all of us complete the Mahamandap to Him at

Oushtadri,with His anugraha.Let us join together for

this noble cause
