Guest guest Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: "Repeatedly saying something that has been said earlier is called as 'Abhyaasa'. The father cautions his son by repeatedly telling him to be careful. When his son undertakes travel to some place, the father showers his son with precautionary words. "Take care of your wallet! Do not believe strangers! Beware of pick-pocketers. Keep your purse in a safe pocket!" – cautions the father. By repeatedly warning his son, the father wants to convey to his son that if the money is safeguarded, he can safely return home, come what may. We can understand that safeguarding the money is the Tatparya of the words of caution showered by the father on his son. If the purport is understood on account of repeatedly saying something, such repetition is called 'Abhyasa'."
