Chapter 10<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 10 verse 2<\/a><\/p>\n yo mAm ajam anAdhim cha vEththi lOkamahESvaram |<\/em> marthyEshu asammUda: ya: – One among the mortals who is not bewildered to consider me as being equal to other men One among the mortals who is not bewildered to consider me as equal to other men and knows me as not having a birth and that too as the one who does not have a birth since time immemorial and the lord of those who are considered as the lords of this world, becomes relieved from all sins (which are obstacles to develop devotion).<\/p>\n ‘Whoso knows Me as the Birthless, the Beginningless, the Great Kosmic Lord, \u2014he, among mortals, is risen from ignorance, and he is delivered from all sins.’<\/span><\/p>\n He who is never born is Ajah<\/em>=Birthless. This attribute connotes the Lord, as contra-distinguished from the changeful non-intelligent substance (matter), and the world-enmeshed intelligents (sams\u0101ri-chetan\u0101\u1e25<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n By the term an\u0101di<\/em>, the Lord is distinguished from the liberated souls, who, though birthless, have had a beginning for their liberated state. The liberated soul is so characterized from its having had at one time association with evil. Hence by the term an\u0101di<\/em> is implied that the Lord had never such association, and occupies a position antidotal to evil. \u015aruti also says:\u2014\u2018(He) stainless etc.\u2019[1. \u015avet: Up:<\/em> VI-19: ‘Niravadyam etc’.]<\/span><\/p>\n Thus, he who has grown wise among mortals, understands Me (1) as essentially different from, and contrary to, anything associated with evil; and (2) as the great Lord of the Kosmos, meaning the Over-lord of the several lords of the Kosmos.<\/span><\/p>\n Asamm\u016bdha\u1e25<\/em>=the non-ignorant, or the wise; wisdom consisting in being destitute of the hallucination in that I am equal to, or I compare with, other things, or not identifying Me with, or conceiving Me as like unto, other things.<\/span><\/p>\n Such a devotee is delivered from all obstructive sins preventing the development of God-love (or love to Me).<\/span><\/p>\n The purport is this:\u2014 In the world, the king of a people is, like any of his people, a man himself; but he has become a ruler by some act (of merit): such even is the case with the king of the devas [Indra, and even the Lord of the mundane egg (Demiurge=Brahm\u0101), who are all like any other ordinary worldling. Every one of them comes under the one or the other of the three-fold bh\u0101vanas<\/em>[2. Bh\u0101van\u0101-traya<\/em> = (1) Karma-bh\u0101vana<\/em>, (2) Brahma-bh\u0101vana<\/em>, and (3) Ubhaya-bh\u0101vana<\/em>. Janaka and such like persons come under (1), Sanaka and such like, under (2), and Brahm\u0101 and such like under (3)’. Consult Ved\u0101rtha-Sangraha<\/em> Pp: 312-313, (Telugu Edition) and Vish: Pur:<\/em> VI-7-48. And therefore they are all amenable to their acts.]. The \u015aruti declares: \u2018(He) Who creates Brahm\u0101.'[3. \u015avet: Up:<\/em> VI-8: ‘Yo brahm\u0101\u1e47am vidadh\u0101ti.’]<\/span><\/p>\n The same is the case again with all those who may have even acquired the eight kinds of preter-natural powers (siddh\u012bs<\/em>)[4. (1) a\u1e47im\u0101<\/em> (2) mahim\u0101<\/em> (3) garim\u0101<\/em>, (4) laghim\u0101<\/em>, (5) va\u015bitvam<\/em>, <\/p>\n Hence, He is, unlike others, singular by Himself. And he who does not incur the error (=moha<\/em>) of fancying Him like unto others, and so understands Me, is exempt from all sins.<\/span><\/p>\n Thus, after showing how by meditation of the true nature of the Lord, barriers impeding the growth of Bhakti<\/em> are broken down, and how, vice versa<\/em>, by the removal of obstacles, Bhakti<\/em> is provoked, G\u012bt\u0101 next undertakes to explain how Bhakti<\/em> may be enkindled by meditating profoundly on His greatness and sublimity, and His blessed attributes.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 10 verse 4<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 10 << Chapter 10 verse 2 SlOkam \u2013 Original yo mAm ajam anAdhim cha vEththi lOkamahESvaram | asammUda: sa marthyEshu sarvapApai: pramuchyathE || word-by-word meaning marthyEshu asammUda: ya: – One among the mortals who is not bewildered to consider me as being equal to … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-10","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3957\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
