Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swami, in Bhakthi Nivedana ]

 

Hence they give another definition for this. These various types of substances

in the world (viswan) are (nayathi) taken forward. ViSwaan (naraan), nayathi –

bearing the different kinds of materials in the world it is the

‘Vaiswanaraagni’ that takes them forward - as suitable to each and every one.

If this agni is present in them they move forward. If not, they can’t. If the

inside fire cools down then the body above is called a dead body. We have to

recognise that this agni is the Vaiswanaraagni that stays in all the things and

protects them from turning into dead bodies and guides them in the path of

evolution.

 

We take food for that purpose. What type of food should we take? The food we

take should help us to progress. Some say, “Give a morsel to pacify the burning

stomach. What is the purpose of reciting the Vedas?”. It’s true. It is a great

work. “I don’t believe in Gods and Goddesses. I believe only in the crying

stomach. I believe in satisfying only that.” One who says so is also a devotee

because he is recognizing Bhagavan in the form of hunger (Vaiswanaraagni) It

means he is noticing it as the Jattaraagni only and his attention is not going

upto the Paramaathma who is behind If he looks into it a little more deeper it

is great. If he can provide food to it with the awareness that it is the divine

energy he is feeding then it is: ‘yathaa ishiika thu:lam agnou pro:tham

pradu:ye:tha’. As the vedantha sa:stra told – it is doing ‘brahmo:pasana’ to

attain salvation. In this sloka Bhagavan says that this is the ‘Vaiswaanara

upaasana’.

 

If we realize this fact and take our food, then we have done the ‘upaasana’.

Whenever we take food if we think – ‘krishnaarpaNa masthu’

‘vaiswaanaraarpaNamasthu’ and put the food in, then the upaasana is done.
