BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : 826 and 827

[Guest guest]

[826] RatirAgavivardhinI : By whose grace love for eternal joy

increases. Desire causes attachment which in its various forms,

collectively and severally, contributes to the growth of the

evolving soul. Being a biological and psychological necessity,

people require to be fostered in this habit. Certainly it is a

virtue in its domain. But all kinds of attachment cannot and do not

give a lasting joy or satisfaction unless the self in its eternal

joy and supreme beauty is realized. It is therefore that God desired

a mate for deliberation. One cannot be happy when alone. This

delighting power of eternal satisfaction is the greatest of all

powers in the universe. By the grace of Eternal Mother alone the

deliberative attitude finds place in the heart of one who seeks

after Truth. Then there is no desire for worldly enjoyments.

 

Ratih is the goddess of love, the wife of KAma or Cupid. This

connotes the union of Jiva with ParamAtmA, the true or ultimate

union. That alone is perfect bliss. Other beings live on a particle

of this very bliss, projected by ignorance and perceived only during

the contact of the organs with their objects. The Divine Mother is

the very urge for attaining perfect bliss.

 

 

[827] PancavAtagatirbhinnA Who is separate from the flow of vital

airs [in a body] All actions in a living body take place due to some

inherent power present in them. That inherent power works through

the vital airs, the subtle instruments, which are chiefly five viz.

PrAna, ApAna, SamAna, VyAna and UdAna. These vital airs must,

therefore, be separate from that inherent power which is all

pervading and ever fresh. This power is called ParA sakti, who in

reality excites every organ to action through PrAna. The Goddess

Herself declares : " Whosoever enjoys does so, because I am the power

of enjoyment present in him. Seeing an object, breathing in and out

and listening to what is said, all this is possible because of that

inherent power " . The Upanisad says, " That which is not moved by

PrAna but which excites prAna to action; know that to be Brahman and

not what people worship as an object " .
