Om Namasivaya nama:

Today Bhagawathpadar explains further as how a seer should lead his life, so that he could be a most competent Vedanthi.

The Seer should have keen memory with enough knowledge of the world outside and inside too. Who should be able to handle the questions raised out of mind on account of scriptures. With these qualities he can be eligible for Aathma vidhya.

Unless you have the qualities of discrimination, detachment, calmness and burning desire for liberation, one cannot realize the supreme reality.

VIVEKA CHOODAMANI : CHAPTER 1 - SLOKA 14 & 15 : OCT 11-2013

Om Namasivaya nama:

Today we discussed Adhikari Niroopanam: Bagavath Padar says, ultimate success in spiritual en-devours depends upon the degree of fundamental qualifications in the Seeker. Time and place is not everything it is only secondary support for the seeker to attain spiritual success. The seeker's fundamental duty is to search for the right Guru and seek his instruction and follow.

Therefore, a true seeker of the self should learn to inquire and meditate after duly approaching a Guru who is already experienced the self. Such Guru should be an ocean of kindness and compassionate towards all his disciple irrespective of their caste and creed or class.

Om Namasivaya nama:

Today, Bhagath padar explains the delusory effects on some one who is afflicted with un real as real. The fear and sorrow created by an un-real object due to mis-understanding and poor discrimination power on the subject. To understand the real, one must think hard and inquire with learned persons and discriminate within our own conscious. In other words balanced thinking a must.

Also said, neither sacred bath nor charity nor 100s of prayanamas can give us the true knowledge of our own Self unless one experience the nature of the Self can be gained by way of raising questions within oneself and strictly follow the salutary advises of the wise.
