JagannAtha dAsa says that a person who eat food with the understanding that the process of eating food is a mahAyaj~na and offer the same at the Feet of the Lord amid understanding of His existence in the two entities i.e. bhOjya and bhOktR^i and that via His biMba kriya, He eats all foods and accepts all rasa-s and provides satisfaction to the pratibiMba jIva, such a person is considered to be fasting always -‘nityOpavAsi’ and would be entitled to the phala equivalent to those who really observe fast. Such a person would not have diseases -‘nirOgi’ and remain healthy and thus be sinless -‘niShpApi’.

 

Such persons are entitled for the phala obtained for performing prANAgnihOtra and paMchAgnihotra yaj~na-s and they would be redeemed of all the incidents from

 

• Current experiences – ‘ippudu’

• Past experiences – ‘pOpudu’

• Future situations – ‘bappudu’

 

when we understand that ParamAtma is the Controller and Regulator and offer our action of this ‘mahayaj~na’ to Him.

 

Another way of looking at this is – crores of jIva-s are bound to the liMga dEha, tri-guNa-s and flow of kaRma and thus bound to the saMsAra – cycle of birth and death. Providing salvation to such kaRma bound jIva-s is the reason for this sR^iShTi.

 

saMchita kaRma i.e. accumulated kaRma which was not experienced in the previous janma is experienced in the current janma would ‘pOpudu’ meaning this would go. AgAmi kaRma i.e the kaRma experiences due to come in the next janma would ‘bappudu’ would arrive now. Only the ‘prArabdha’ kaRma would ‘ippudu’ meaning - remain until lImga dEha bhaMga.

 

ParamAtma causes and regulates all the above and that if we always meditate on him, then the kind ParamAtma would protect us just as a mother listens to her child and protects him.
