Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 dear friend Jantunaam in this context means the living beings. Also, as per science, human beings are borned from Apes (monkeys) and hence the meaning of living beings is acceptable. Durlabham means near impossible. Ex: If one in crores may achieve then it can be treated as very very difficult and you can also treat it as near impossible or impossible also. When the knowledge is given to you to identify the real human form of the Lord and if you fail in identifying the real human incarnation and catch a fraud Guru you are lost. In the Chemistry laboratory when there is error in doing the analysis according to the given procedure and if you identify it as a wrong salt you are failing in the examination. But there is another chance to attend the examination for the failed candidates. Similarly you must revise the procedure and you can pass in the examination. But you must identify the Satguru before your life ends. Otherwise, you cannot be sure of the human birth again (Jantunaam Nara Janma Durlabhamidam – Sankara). The human rebirth is only for Yoga Bhrashta i.e., the soul, which has reached Brahmaloka and fell due to some slip. Such a soul is suspended from Brahmaloka and comes down to the earth and takes rebirth as a human being only. You have passed the P.G. Degree and obtained the post of the lecturer. But you were suspended for a month due to some mistake. You will be re-appointed. Similarly the Yoga Bhrashta will be born as a human being for some time and will come back to Brahmaloka. The case of incomplete spiritual effort is different from Yoga Bhrashta. The incomplete spiritual person is like a B.A. Degree holder who never achieved the lecturer post. You cannot argue that you can be appointed as a seventy five percent lecturer since you reached seventy five percent of the total educational period (from school to P.G.Degree is hundred percent) by getting a B.A. Degree. Thus there is no partial achievement by partial spiritual effort. The grace of the Lord is either hundred percent or zero. If it is hundred percent you are reaching Brahmaloka. If it is Zero percent you are falling back to the earth in the cycle of animals and birds. There is no third way in between these two. When this truth is revealed, only one in thousands will try to put the real spiritual effort as said in Gita (Manushyaanaam Sahasreshu). at the lotus of shri datta swami surya www.universal-spirituality.org Aditya Mukherjee <adimuk wrote: lets look at the line objectively Jantunaam(animal) Nara Janma Durlabhamidam it does not say (puna nara janma urlabhamidam)...That it is rare for a Humane to be reborn as a humane. Well for a soul geting a Humane birth for the first time round is indeed very rare , very difficult ..... What causes a soul to qualify for this quantum leap(animal to humane) god only knows .....Maybe... can any one say something on this point. but not once it has got a Humane birth is it difficult or rare. It take's many lives of sadhana to reach the state of nirvikalpa samadhi well you may say that in it is possible in one life also true ..but theoritically ..... in practice how many sadhaka's achive it in one life. br Adi Mail Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments.
