Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Another New Year ....Another Birthday....Another Life.... ==================================== Namaste all. I'll try to give the general meaning of this 'spiritual self counsel' in the Telugu kirtan by Saint Sri Annama Acharya: " nanati brathuku natakamu.. " The material life of all individuals, lived through with out Spiritual realization, is like a fiction, like a mere drama of events, until he or she attains liberation from the world of Maya. Taking birth and passing away from the material body appears to be true but all that happens in between is simply an entertaining drama. Eating many delightful foods and wearing different designer costumes appear to be real but all in between remains purely a show. The material world seems to be experienced by the gross body and senses externally, but Self realization is internal, subtle and beyond the mundane enjoyment. In the material world, one accumulates both, good and evil karma (fruits of action) by one's own deeds of the drama of one's life. Only after the escape of the individual from this bondage of his or her karma, salvation is possible. The sinful actions and reactions can never be severed totally by the individual. The effects of one's merits and pious actions are inexhaustible! The unending actions of the drama of life are kept recurring for the individual birth after birth by the mysterious time! The Saint Sri Annamacarya in his signature verse declares that liberation is beyond all heavenly realms, and only the Lord on the Hill, Sri Venkateshvara Himself bestows the salvation upon His devotee. Dr. Jaya Jaya Sri Radhe! Note: Another excerpt (from radha kutir) which also explains the roles of Papa (sin) and Punya (merit) in attaining liberation. ------------- ......... Another beautiful aspect of Maha Raas episode is that, on the one hand, only those Gopis who could run to Krishna on the Yamuna bank that night were able to enjoy His company; on the other hand there were a few Gopis who were restrained from going by their husbands or other relatives and were locked up in dark windowless rooms. They also got instant liberation. " duhsaha preSTa viraha tIvratApa dhutAzubhAH dhyAnaprAptA chyutA zleSa nirvrttyA khINamangalAH " (Srimad Bhagavatam 10.29.10) Such liberation can only come when their stock of Punya (merit) and Papa (sin) gets completely exhausted so that the soul does not have to get embodied any more as there is no stock of either Punya or Papa to be experienced. In the case of the latter category of Gopis who were locked up in dark rooms with no exit, they were utterly miserable and their entire bodies were burning in the 'fire' of separation from their beloved Lord. Experiencing such untold and extreme misery exhausted their stock of sin (Papa). Likewise while meditating on the Lord, they found themselves, in their imagination, embracing the Lord and experiencing the utmost Bliss. This extreme joy exhausted their stock of Punya (merit). Having thus exhausted all their Prarabdha of merit and sin, they were immediately relieved from the bondage of 'Samsara' (cycle of births and deaths), left their bodies and attained liberation. This is the height of Sadhana, intense longing for the Lord alone is the key to salvation.
