Sivaanandalahari - 6

[Guest guest]

Sivaanandalahari - 6 (2)What can stop the terrible arrival of Yama? It is

the Saakshaath ParamEswaraaL’s Paadham. In order to attain it all the

praanis have to do Shiva bajanam. That is the easiest way to stop Yama. When

this is so, ‘dhus-tharkaath suviramyathaam’, why do you do himsa to your

buddhi by indulging in arguments that have no relevance to the Sruthi just

because it gives you small pleasures? This is not the best way nor is it

advisable to reduce your buddhi which is capable of understanding the most

subtle meanings of the Sruthi.

 

‘Naanya: panthaa vidyathE ayanaaya’. Moksha cannot be attained without

resorting to Brahmavichaaram. Every mumukshu should be steadfast in

conducting his inquiry and therefore please understand that arguments are

not totally discouraged. However ‘dhus-tharkaathsu viraagyathaam’, it is

necessary to shun kutharka vaadham. You should only do anusandhaanam of

Sruthi related tharka. This secret was given to Nachikethus by Yama in the

manthra ‘naishaa tharkENamathiraapanEya’. Yama says that all arguments that

are unrelated to Sruthi are incapable of delivering Maksha padhavi.

Thus to be interested in and brought into swaanubhoothi of Sruthi related

tharka one should have done sukruthu in many janmaas. No way could it be

otherwise. Even if a person has attained the Gnana that the Aathmaswaroopam

is non-different from Brahman because of his poorva punya that enabled him

to know it through the saasthras such as tharkam, Veda pramaanam, nyaayam

etc. you cannot definitely say that he has attained Moksha. This is because

people have the tendency, at the very moment of attaining kinchitha gnaanam,

afflicted by kaama and krodha etc., begin to roam around thinking there is

no one greater than them. In such state if one does the tharka even those

that relate to the Sruthi there is no benefit if there is ahambhaavam and

lack of Parameswara bhakthi. Only those who have dhruda bhakthi to Gnaana

dhaatha Shambu can alone get Moksha. This is emphasized in ‘yathaa gnaanam

vinaa mukthi: naasthyupaaya sathairapi| Thathaa bhakthim vinaa gnaanam

naasthyupaayasathairapi|| That is, just as you cannot attain Mukthi without

Brahmagnaanam, you cannot also attain Brahmagnaanam and Mukthi without

dhruda bhakthi of Parameswara. This is emphasized by Sri Bhagavat Paadhaal

in this sloka.
