Chapter 17<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 17 Verse 2<\/a><\/p>\n sathvAnurUpA sarvasya SradhdhA bhavathi bhAratha |<\/em> bhAratha – Oh descendant of bharatha clan! Oh descendant of bharatha clan! For all individuals, their faith occurs as per their desire; this person is a transformation of such faith; whatever faith a person is with, he is a result of such faith only.<\/p>\n ‘The faith of every one, Bh\u0101rata! accords with his mind; one is saturated with faith; of what one is, he is that.'[1. \u2018Desire first fathers the thought, and then thought woos belief\u2019 says Alger.]<\/span><\/p>\n Satvam<\/em>=Anta\u1e25-kara\u1e47am<\/em>=(The inner-sense), the mind. As is the mind, so is the faith of every person; in other words, whatever quality is the mind conjoined with, faith is begot for such things as are of that quality. The term satvam<\/em> (mind) implies the body and the senses mentioned afore-said (See Comm: Stanza[2. TBD.]).<\/span><\/p>\n \u015araddh\u0101maya\u1e25<\/em> or the man saturated with faith<\/em>: means that man is the embodiment of faith itself.<\/span><\/p>\n Of whatever faith he is united to, into that faith he becomes transformed. The sense is that if a person is filled with faith for a meritorious work, he becomes entitled to meritorious fruit thereof; so that faith of any kind leads to a fruit corresponding to that faith.<\/span><\/p>\n The subject is further expanded:<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 17 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 17 << Chapter 17 Verse 2 SlOkam \u2013 Original sathvAnurUpA sarvasya SradhdhA bhavathi bhAratha | SraddhAmayO\u2019yam purushO yO yachchradhdha: sa Eva sa: || word-by-word meaning bhAratha – Oh descendant of bharatha clan! sarvasya – for everyone sathvAnurUpA – as per their desire SradhdhA bhavathi … 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":[10,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-17","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6525","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=6525"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6525\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16213,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6525\/revisions\/16213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
