THE SATRAS - II |
|
| Thou knowest the
arguments of Yoga but the mind is clouded. Thou know this: except through supreme devotion, there is no liberation. Entire virtue remains hidden within the name of Rama; This is the final message of all theSastras. The name of the Lord devoutly taken is the sole religion of the Kali era. We know of it but grasp not the essence, Says Sankara, transient is this body; Never again wilt thou gain this; Cast off all pride of action and think of the feet of Hari With the sole devotion of thy heart. Sankaradeva has prescribed certain qualifications necessary for a real Bhakta. He must possess the qualities of sympathy, beneficence, forgiveness, softness of heart and complete mastery over his passions. He seems to have laid more emphasis on the control of the senses. This has been clearly explained in his Balichalan.
