VIVEKACHUDAMANI TAMIL DISCOURSE : CHAPTER 1 - SLOKA 92-94 AUG 29-2014

Om Namasivaya nama:

Happy Vinayaka Chathurthi : May Lord Ganesa bless us.

ORGANS of perception and its action:

Sloka 92:
Five most important organs functions in our physical gross body to help us in gaining knowledge. They are ears, eyes, nose, tongue and skin. They help us to gain knowledge such as Sabda (Speech), Roopa (See), Gandha (smell), Rasa (Taste) and Sparsa (Touch). These organs are known as Jnanendriyas. The other set of Indriyas are known as Karmendriyas (action objects) such as Speech, Hands, Legs, The Anus and the Genital Organ. Since their nature is only action oriented they are called Karmendriyas. Please note our knowledge and connections are directly controlled by these organs therefore understanding them and act wisely makes one good.

Sloka 93 & 94:
Inner Organs / Instruments (Antha:Karanam)

There are 4 inner organs called Mana (Mind), Intellect (Budhi), Ego/Self (Ahamkara) and  Unconditional Pure State (Chitham). Due to their different functions, the same Mind is getting different names. Functions of these 4 are: MIND - approaching doubts and hesitation, in other words Sankalpa-Vikalpa; imagination and emptiness, INTELLECT - determining the truth of a thing after analysis, EGO -  identification of both Mind and Intellect, true realization, PURE STATE/CHITHAM - when constantly be with the most interested things in its pure nature (innocent subtle devotion).

How man can make many plans and commitment without the full functions of these!

Om Namasivaya nama:

Sloka 89:

The individualized ego is what identifying itself with this body by way of enjoying gross objects such as garlands, sandal paste, women etc.,to satisfy body's comforts through sense organs. Therefore, this body has the highest role to play while waking state (Jagrada-avastha). Bagawad Padar want to high light the importance of the body at the same time giving warning that it is purely in terms of gross body and not the subtle body.

Sloka 90:
How a house is important to a householder the same way this gross body is the Shelter for the individual to conduct all his day-to-day dealings with outside world.

Sloka 91:
Birth, decay and death are the essential properties of the gross body. Like wise other acts such as status, childhood to old age conditions, varna asrama (caste and orders of life) such as soodra, vaisya, kshathriya and brahmin etc; it is also subject to variety of diseases, it is the same body that witness treatment such as worship, hardship, dis honor and honor etc..
