The great Ones abandon the dubious approaches charactrestried by pains and pleasures and fix their minds only on You to obtain the aunalloyed bliss of union withthe Lord's holy feet in a manner similar to You . 2) Srimadh Andavan's anubhavam : Oh Lord's PaadhukhE ! Few great Ones abandon Karma Yogam and other UpAyams to secure Moksham and instead meditate on You . The inner meaning is that the fortunate few place their total faith in their AchAryAs and do not engage in other upAyams to secure Moksham . 3) The anushtAnam of the mahantha: (the great Ones) is alluded to here . They leave the upAyams that are doubtful regarding their ability to yield phaalan ( SithAsithAn upAyAn apahAya) and seek the BhOgam of seeking refuge in You ( tvadhasAdhaaraNa BhOga SaabhilAshA: Santha:). They develop a way of life that does not focus on anyone except You ( TvadhanyatayA Vrutthim bhajanthi). Unconditional AchArya Bhakthi is referred to here as the preferred way of life of the enlightened Ones ...V.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
