gokulkr Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 10. 36 hladinya samvidaslistham sac-cidnananda isvaram sva-vidya-samvrto jivam samklesani-karakam The nature of the Supreme Lord is sat-citnananda: He is the ultimate embodiment of eternity, knowledge and bliss, and is richly endowed with the hladini and samvit saktis. But the jivas, the souls of this world are covered by ignorance, which is the cause of their suffering the threefold miseries. (Bhagavat-Sandarbha, Sarvajna-sukta-vakya commentary of Sridhara Swami on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.7.5-6) Text 5: Yaya Sammohitho Jeev Aathmanann Rigunaathmakamm Paroyapi Manutheyanarthe Thathkruthang Chaabipathathe (Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.7.5) The living entities conditioned to the modes of nature take in spite of the transcendental the unwanted for granted and undergo the reactions thereof. Due to this external energy, the living entity, although transcendental to the three modes of material nature, thinks of himself as a material product and thus undergoes the reactions of material miseries. Text 6: Yasyang why Shruyamanaayaan Krishne Paramapurushe Bakthiruthpadathe Pungsaha Sokhamohabayaapaha (Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.7.6) By means of devotional service in yoga one can find in transcendence the mitigation of the unwanted. For the masses unaware of this Vyâsadeva compiled the vedic literatures relating to this truth. The material miseries of the living entity, which are superfluous to him, can be directly mitigated by the linking process of devotional service. But the mass of people do not know this, and therefore the learned Vyâsadeva compiled this Vedic literature, which is in relation to the Supreme Truth. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Om Namah Sivaya /images/graemlins/smile.gif Om Namo Venkatesaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
