For pure spirituality and Bhakti, what is required is a pure determined mind, not the dress or appearance. The outside dress of a person is not a measure of knowledge. The saffron colored dress of a saint, long hair, does not make an ignorant fool (AGNANI  a person who lacks divine knowledge) a knowledgeable, the realized person ( GNANI). If mind is not clear from the weaknesses, as anger, greed, ambition, envy , attraction towards worldly things, just wearing a saint s dress, does not make a person eligible for ultimate detachment and acquiring salvation ( MUKTI and MOKSHAM). Indeed, this varied disguise is for the sake of the belly. There are many who go with matted locks, many who have clean shaven heads, many whose hairs have been plucked out; some are clothed in saffron, yet others in various colors --- all just for a livelihood. Those kinds of makeup and dress may be helpful for him to deceive others and get some monitory benefits and livelihood but not useful for getting MOKSHAM. So Don t give importance to the external appearance of a person, try to know him and give value to his Knowledge. <br><br> <! --- Poetry, centering table ---> <center><table><tr><td> <B><font color="blue"> 17. aNgaM galitaM palitaM muNDaM<br> dashanavihiinaM jataM tuNDam.<br> vRiddho yaati gRihiitvaa daNDaM<br> tadapi na muJNcatyaashaapiNDam. <br><br>   M    3 ? $  * 2 ? $  .

The change should come mentally, not physically. If head is gray and body is old, then also, the mind will be immersed with worldly attractions, then what is the use ? Even though strength has left the man's body; the mass of desires does not go, then the attachment is strong and he clings firmly to fruitless desires. As long as ignorance (AGNANAMU) and attraction ( MOHAM) does not go away from mind, nobody can get peace of mind, stability and concentration, if you don t have these, you cannot sit and pray even for a minute, so clear your mind of all wrong thoughts and attractions, then the way of practice ( Moksha Margamu) is very clear to you, you will know by your self, the way you have to proceed and way you have to do things, in the path of acquiring salvation. <br><br> <! --- Poetry, centering table ---> <center><table><tr><td> <B><font color="blue"> 18. agre vahniH pRishhThebhaanuH<br> raatrau chubukasamarpitajaanuH .<br> karatalabhikshastarutalavaasaH<br> tadapi na muJNcatyaashaapaashaH <br><br>   M 0 G 5 9 M ( ?  * C 7 M G - > ( B , 0 > $ M 0 L  A , A  8 . 0 M * ? $  > ( A  <br>  0 $ 2 - ?

The main secrete of acquiring salvation is getting detached with bad habits, thoughts and bad practices, not detaching worldly physical things. Even if you sit in a forest, if your mind is still not stable and gets attracted with the desires of human life, then what is the use. Whether you sit under a tree in forest, or in a comfortable chair in a palace, if your mind is not attached to any, that is what is most important, you should attach your self with the lotus feet of LORD, then only you can acquire things like, peace of mind, tranquility and salvation. If Japa Mala is moving in your hand, and your tongue is moving and chanting the name of LORD, and your mind is moving through out the world, with worldly thoughts, then what is the use, that is not a prayer at all, in Kabirs words<br><br> With a concentrated mind, if you pray even one moment that is good enough. Desires are the enemies for us. As long as we are slaves to desires, as long as we have bondage of desires, where lead a life in jungle taking shade under a tree, getting warmth from sun, filling stomach with alums, there is no use. If we are a wretched puppet at the hands of passions, what ever we do is a waste. So control your desires which are the first step to acquire Moksha.<br><br> <! --- Poetry, centering table ---> <center><table><tr><td> <B><font color="blue"> 19.kurute gaNgaasaagaragamanaM<br> vrataparipaalanamathavaa daanam.h .<br> GYaanavihinaH sarvamatena<br> muktiM na bhajati janmashatena <br><br>  A 0 A $ G   M  > 8 >  0  .

Even if you dip your self in river Ganges thousand times a day and routine spiritual activities like prayer, Bhajan, vratam, danam and mundane spiritual works, for hours together, it does not help, until you acquire GNANAM ( self realization), it does not mean, they are useless, they help you once you acquire knowledge, they are only a means, not the ultimate goal. No routine prayers or practices help you, until that point, where your mind is clear from ignorance and MOHAM, the cloud of worldly desires. Once the cloud of MOHAM is cleared, your mind will shine like sun with knowledge, then you can see the right spiritual path. Pilgrimage, taking bath in Ganges, observing the religious vows with care; or offers gifts to God, giving away riches in charity, are definitely useful in the path of spirituality. But if he is devoid of knowledge, he does not gain release - according to all schools of thought- even in a hundred lives. What is important is Gnana, the enlightenment, once we acquire that then we will know the right path to take. <br><br> <! --- Poetry, centering table ---> <center><table><tr><td> <B><font color="blue"> 20.sura ma.ndira taru muula nivaasaH<br> shayyaa bhuutala majinaM vaasaH .<br> sarva parigraha bhoga tyaagaH<br> kasya sukhaM na karoti viraagaH <br><br> 8 A 0 .

With a fresh mind, away from thoughts and worldly attractions, and with concentration, if you pray Lord, and lead a simple life in divine thoughts, and detach your self from all the worldly things, then the ultimate stage of devotion, the MOKSHAM will be in your hands. You acquire the bliss of tranquility, the PARAMANDAM. <br><br> Living in temples or at the foot of trees, sleeping on the ground wearing deer-skin, renouncing all possessions and their enjoyment - to whom will not dispassion bring happiness? Give up all attachments and renounce all comforts. Blessed with such Vairagya, could any fail to be content ? </td></tr></table> <center><form name="fback" method="post" action="http://www.tlca.com/cgi-bin/comments/comments.pl"> <input type="hidden" name="artid" value="1107-1"> <input type="hidden" name="artname" value="Bhajagovindam Part 5"> <input type="hidden" name="arturl" value="http://www.tlca.com/adults/bhajagovindam-5.html"> <input type="submit" value="Post your comments on this article"> </form></center> </body></html>
