VIVEKACHUDAMANI TAMIL DISCOURSE : CHAPTER 1 – SLOKA 80, 81 & 82 JUL 04-2014

Sloka 80

The one who has destroyed the shark of Sense Objects with the sword of mature and discrimination alone crosses the ocean of change (Samsara) without any hindrance. Many others do not cross the Samsara due to false discrimination / vairaghyam. Where Viveka is steady and firm there desires can’t attack and succeed.

Sloka 81

Mortality will over take the person who is succumbed to desires and sense objects i.e. Yama Dhama follow him/her.Whereas the one stick to the path of Divinity, listening to well wishers, noble Gurus constantly walk the path of divine (Dharma) and helped by his own reasoning faculty (self inquiry) will eventually meet the end i.e. Moksha. My dear disciple, please listen to this carefully that this is the truth.

Sloka 82

If you have indeed a craving for Liberation (Mokha), avoid sense objects from distance, just as you avoid things known as poison and with most respect, cultivate six important virtues (Amrutham) viz:  Contentment, Forgiveness, Patience, Straightforwardness, Calmness and Self Control from sense objects so that achieving Mukthi will be an easy task.
