Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Om Namah Sivaya The Vel is the Jnana Sakti of the Lord. Its tip is wide, long and sharp, signifying incisive discrimination and Spiritual Knowledge, which must be broad, deep and penetrating. It destroys ignorance and restores the Jiva to its original abode of pristine glory. “Why shouldn’t a man be able to realize the formless Brahman? But it is extremely difficult. He cannot if he has even the slightest trace of worldliness. He can be directly aware of Brahman in his inmost consciousness only when he renounces all sense-objects – form, taste, smell, touch, and sound and only when his mind completely stops functioning. And then, too, he knows only this much of Brahman – that It exists.” ---Sri Ramakrishna Tirumantiram by Rishi Tirumular (verse 140): Seek His Grace, the Senses Get Controlled Surely then the senses five under your control come, Surely then the senses five back to their native homes retreat Surely then the senses five turn inward When the soul meets the Lord. Tirukural by Tiruvalluvar (verses 354): All Knowledge acquired through the five senses is worthless to those without knowledge of Truth. Sivaya Namah Mail is the world's favourite email.
