नित्यानित्य वस्तु विवेकः | इहामुत्र फलभोग विरागः | शमादि षट्क सम्पत्तिः | मुमुक्षुत्वम चेति | ( TB-4 )
The first one is नित्यानित्य वस्तु विवेकः | This really means one must have a discriminative understanding of what is "eternal" and what is "non-eternal or temporary"
The second one is इहामुत्र फलभोग विरागः | "iha" means here on planet earth (for us humans).. "amuthra" means "elsewhere" that one aspires to go to for "fun" time..! PalaBogam means an "itching" we all have for enjoying what we rightfully determine "I did this.. so I shall enjoy this result".. now comes the sADhanam..!!! virAga: is a vairAgyam or a dispassion or a determination that I AM NO LONGER INTERESTED IN THIS LIMITED RESULT.. In other words, as Americans describe it "chicken-shit" results..!! We still do not know at this point why we should develop this vairagyam.. that explanation comes later.. Remeber this is guru Sishya samvAdham.. the stuedent will not allow the treacher to rest in peace UNTIL he has every one of his quesions answered.. (here his means her also.. we are talking about the quality of both males and females who have this metal fortitude to stick with this study to gain the ULTIMATE goal.. or purushATham..)
The third one is शमादि षट्क सम्पत्तिः | this actually has six subsets..! It literally means the qualities such as Sama, etc..! this will be explained later also almost pretty soon..
The fourth one is मुमुक्षुत्वम चेति | mumukshuthvam means a desire to gain moksham.. I can not but help explaining the beauty of samskrtham here.. these words are known in English as "desiderative" which is unique to samskrtham. It simply means "the desire to become or do what the primary verb of action is intended for.. " here samskrtham describes it in one clean simple word..!
This actually propels the student to ask simple one word or two-word questions and the teacher usually spends a life time explaining it.. THAT IS WHY HE IS A GURU, THE REMOVER OF THE DARKNESS OF OUR MINDS AND WE ARE ARE HERE TO "BUG" HIM FOR ANSWERS..!!
