एतत् साधन चतुष्टयम् | ततः तत्वविवेकस्य अधिकारिणः भवन्ति |TB-14|
Having described the four-fold qualifications (actually a total of 9, if you split the SamAdhi shatkam into it constituent six qualities),the guru says ततः = thasmAth kAraNAth.. because of the presence of the four-fold qualfications in people, भवन्ति, they become, तत्वविवेकस्य अधिकारिणः qualified to gain this thathva vivEkam, the descriminative knowledge,which means to understand what is said in vEdhAtham about jiva, jagath, and ISvara:|
Actually this is not as easy as it sounds.. the very fact that we are born as humans itself is a miracle.. and to have a desire to gain thathva vivEkam is another miracle.. that you even have a PC to browse is another miracle.. that you are viewing this site rather than many more attractive sites (wink..!) itself is MIRACLE OF ALL MIRACLES..!
Even to go thru this write up, one must have certain family and friendly environment guiding you this way.. our own pUrva janma puNyam helps us.. god's grace of course.. without which even if you understand English you may STILL GET THE WRONG MEANING..
When mahABAratha fight was over, pAndavAs gained the thrown.. krshNa himself has taught arjuna, A PRIVILEGE MOST OF US DO NOT HAVE..(!!), yet he forgets what bagavAn told him and asks krshNa,"hey krshNa.. in the middle fo the noise of the battle, you said some very important words and made me fight the battle and win.. but it has been so long since that war and I have forgotten most of it.. Please teach me again..!"
And you know what? krshNa starts what is popularly known as uththara gIthA to re-teach arjuna. ! If this can happen to arjuna, what to talk of simpletons like myself..? that is why this type of SravaNam and mananam is required..
Of course what is the question form the student? You rpobably guessed it by now..!!
he asks the guru (for the continuation of the dialog) तत्वविवेकः कः? guru:आत्मा सत्यं तत् अन्यत् सर्वं मिथ्या इति |TB-15|
This will be explained in the next post shortly.!!!
