Oh bird of greatest mind, play without interruption in the nest of the two

lotus feet of Paramashiva, situated in the tree with the Sakas, (a part of

Vedas ) as the branches, with Upanishads as the top and bearing Dharma,

Artha, Kama and Moksha as the fruits, which destroy grief, taste like the

nectre, are eternal and much sought after by the birds of great Brahmanas.

Thaathparyam:-

 

In accordance with the maxim " yOgasthu sitthavrutthi nirOdha: " , making the

mind that seeks out and roams for ordinary objective pleasures to attain its

layam in ParamEswara's lotus feet is the meaning of the Yoga sabhdha.

 

Hey! The mind which I see as the superior bird! You are roaming everywhere

in aimless fashion. Where can you get nithyasukham? You are seeking the

impermenant and immediate benefits. Have you ever thought of what is

nithyasukham and what is anithyasukham? You are wasting your time without

getting into the rahasyam of these important subjects. Hey! Bird that is the

mind! If you keep doing this you cannot attain mOkshasukham. Enough that

you have wasted your life. Atleast try hereafter to attain mOkshasukham.

Let me tell you of a place. Go and play there. That place alone gives you

nithyaanandhasukham. I will tell you on the mahima of that place. Listen

to me patiently.

 

Hey! The mind which I see as the superior bird! The trees of the Veda that

has the upanishads as the branches alone know that place. In those trees

brahmaNOtthamas live hopping between branches worshipping that place.

Moreover that which is worshipped has no destruction in the kaalathrayaas.

At the same time it is removing the thaapathrayams and eliminates the hunger

caused by the samsaara by giving endless tasty fruits sudhaamritham for you

to eat. You can go to this remarkable place and play there as you please!

 

Hey! The mind which I see as the superior bird! You do not have to worry as

to where this joyous place is! That place of the greatest mahima is none

but the ever auspicious and unfathomable giver of sukham and know it as the

cage of the lotus feet of ParamEswara. So you remain in that cage and play

there and do not fly away to needless places! I assure you that you will

enjoy the pleasures there that you have never known in life. You do not

have to have even a wee bit of doubt on this. This is truly the permanent

abode that you always have been seeking.

 

" Sudhaa dhaaraasaarai: charana yugaLaanthar vigaLithai:

prapancham sinchanthi... "

(Soundharyalahari)

 

" Drenching the whole manifested multiplicity (the prapancha, here meaning

the 72000 nadis of the jeeva) with the nectar flowing from thy feet... "

 

Anyone who recites this sloka and do namaskaaram to ParamEswara will

definitely have their mind find layam in the lotus feet of Shiva in due

course.

 

Nama: paarvathee pathayE Hara Hara Mahaadeva!
