[854] SruvA : Who is the ladle with a collateral bowl.

Two ladle Sruk and SruvA are used in a homa. The first, with one

bowl for pouring ghee into the fire, [descried in name 853 above]

stands for the intuitive consciousness ie for absorption into or

realization of self. This is called Aroha Krama, absorption of

objective to subjective consciousness.

 

The other ladle with two bowls stands for establishment of that

awareness or intuitive consciousness. Then it is purely subjective

consciousness which is above the subjective-objective world. This is

the process of rising while descending, ie descending from

subjective to objective consciousness with full awareness of the

self.

 

This requires enormous courage, and is represented in the Sruva of

two bowls. ParA Samvit is in full bloom now, in Aroha as well as

avaroha Krama. That is the perfection in realization. It is complete

surrender of subjectivity and objectivity into the Supreme. Complete

surrender to Brahman is termed Sruk.

 

[855] SAmidhenI : Who is the prayer recited while the sacrificial

fire is being kindled. It used to be a matter of course for the Rsis

of yore to kindle the sacrificial fire with Vedic Mantras. They fed

it with fuel called SamidhA. It was for this purpose that a

preceptor of learning and practice was approached by disciples with

loads of faggots in their hands to gain knowledge of Self. SamidhA

is therefore symbolic of gaining knowledge of Self.

 

[856] SasraddhA : Who is the faithfulness in action.

Krama [action] is of three kinds : Nitya Karma, regular action;

[ii] Naimittika Karma, occasionaly action; and [iii] KAmya Karma,

action with desire.

Those who knows the essence of the Vedas worship Divine Mother by

following their respective actions with faith, that makes them stick

to their chosen faiths. This faithfulness in them is the Goddess

whose grace is ever and for everyone in constant flow. Bhagavan

said, " Whatever form any devotee with faith wishes to worship, I

make the faith of his steady " .
