VIVEKA CHOODAMANI : CHAPTER 1 - SLOKA 23 : NOV 15-2013

Om Namasivaya nama:

Bhagawathpadar says, steering both kinds of sense organs such as knowledge and action (5 Gnanedriyas and 5 Karmendriyas) and placing them in their respective places to take fruitful benefits rather than driving towards tasting bad senses called Dhama in other words "Self Control". Basically control over Gnanedriyas and Karmendriyas and their boss "Mana". Also do "Self Withdrawal" called Uparathi. Swadharmanushtanam will help in achieving self withdrawal.

Please note this recording is incomplete due to some technical issues, i will try to catch up last portion of missed recording in our next satsangh.

Om Namasivaya nama:

Bagavathpadar further explains the 6 Gunas known as Samadi Shadga Sampathy. Control and calmness of the mind through a peaceful state of mind through constant reminders to detach from sense objects by way of process of continuous observation of its bad effects. In other words completely knowingly stay away from sense objects by way of sabdha, sparsa, roopa, rasa & gandha (sound, touch, form, taste and smell).

VIVEKA CHOODAMANI : CHAPTER 1 - SLOKA 20 and 21 : NOV 08-2013

Om Namasivaya nama:

Sri Sankara Bagawathpadar says that a conviction must be made within us that Brahman alone is real and the rest all un-real in other words illusions. Also note this must be done only through a proper discrimination analysis.

That desire to give up all transitory enjoyments gained through seeing, hearing and experiencing through mortal body is called real detachment and this is applicable for human to Brahma.
