VISHNU SAHASRA NAMAM - Courtesy ARUN

[Guest guest]

398. Neyah – " The Guide " , the " Conductor. " He who guides and ultimately

takes the seeker to the Reality is Lord Narayana, the Saguna Brahman.

Through surrender to Narayana, the devotee develops the integration

within and when fully integrated, he becomes the meditator and through

meditation, the Highest is achieved. Therefore, Vishnu is indicated

here as the " Conductor. "

 

The term can also mean " One who is fit to be conducted to the

Highest. " The individual-ego .is that which tries to realise its own

real nature, the self. The very individuality (Jiva) who is fit to be

led towards the gateway to the Higher Consciousness is the One that

has removed its false attachments and is held in animated joy, in

meditation. In essence, such a jiva is nothing other than the Supreme,

and, therefore, the Supreme is thus called as the Jiva.
