జ్ఞానం, భక్తి, vairagyam

In everybodies life, there comes a phase of gynanam and Vairagya or Non-attachment. TO attain moksha mrgam, one has to deprive of our arishadvargalu or our inner foes or enemies which keep making our innerself a demon . This is the prime cause for the want of spiritual progress at present. All these three like gyana, bhakthi and vairagyam have to be emphasised in Sadhana and going throught the moksha marga and they are not to be separated and striven for individually.

Whenever something happens in our life like death of beloved ones and even there is some sort of pain in our heart and even it could relate to overwhelming joy kind of bhavana and suffering from physical pain also , that could be prasuuthi vairagya too happening in our (womens) post natal stage.These all kind of vairagya chintana are temporary whereas attaining gyana and spiritual vairagya is permanent and utmost important to acieve a spiritual attainment.

Bhakthi includes gyana and surrendering ourself to supreme power. Vairagya (Detachment), bhakthi and gyana should be interwoven , then only it would be effective. The best that each isolated path is capable of is to give some training in purity. Never therefore develop conceit and declare that we are Bhakthas or gyanis or Vairagis (Recluses). Sadhakas must dip in the Trijala of Bhakthi-Jnana-Vairagya. There is no other way to salvation.

Before anything, be pure and holy. Of aspirants and Sadhakas, there are plenty; but of those who are pure in heart, the number is few. For example, observe this one fact: there are many who religiously read the Gita over and over again; there are many who expatiate on its meaning for hours and hours, but persons who practise the essence of the Gita are rare. They are now like gramophone records, reproducing someone else's song, incapable of singing themselves, ignorant of the joy of song. They are not Sandhakas at all. Their Sadhana does not deserve that name.

Life must be seen as the manifestation of the three Gunas, as a play of temperaments pulling the strings of dolls. This awareness must saturate every thought, word and deed. That is the gyana you need. All else is Agynana or andakaram.

The gyanani will have no trace of hatred in him, he will love all beings; he will not be contaminated by the ego, he will act as he speaks. The Agyani will identify himself with the gross body, senses and mind, things which are but tools and instruments. The eternal pure Atma is behind the mind, and so this mistake of the Agynani plunges him into trouble, loss and misery.

All the names and forms that fill this universe and constitute its nature are but creations of the Mind. Therefore, the mind has to be controlled and its wayward fancies calmed in order to perceive the Truth. The ever-moving waves of the lake have to be stilled so that you can see the bottom clearly. So too, the waves of ignorance that ruffle the mind have to be stilled.

The best way to achieve gyana vairagyam is to deprive our inner enemies which in sanskrit are termed as arishadvargalu like kama, krodha, moha, madha and matsaryalu. In plain telugu terms, repannadi ala vuntundo telidu, so don't pride on today. Life is kshanabanguram which cannot be predicted by thucha manav. The mode of bhakti given in our scriptures like navavidha bhakthi margalu like Sravana, Kirtana,Smarana
Padasevana, Archana, Vandanam ,Dasya, Sakhya and Atma nivedana . To attain divine illumination, a bhaktha should take any initiative of the above practice.

Sarevejana sukhino bhavantu , Lokasamashta sukhinobhavantu
