Avadhuta Yadu Samvada (अवधूतयद्वोः संवादः) (view source)
Revision as of 20:34, 14 August 2020
, 20:34, 14 August 2020→अजगरः ॥ Ajagar (A Boa-Constrictor snake): added content and references
Birth in the human form is like an open gate to Moksha from Samsara. He who even after being born as human being, which is an instrument to achieve Mukti, falls into the trap of ensnarement of Samsara, is a dull-intellect taking the downward path away from Shreyas (the highest good). Thus the '''Pigeon''' teaches a sadhaka not to get ensnared in the activities of Samsara and wisely '''choose the Path of Shreyas'''.<ref name=":6" />

Hence a wise man should ponder over such secrets and not hanker after the pleasures. A yogi should be content with whatever food he is given without effort, irrespective of its taste (delicious or distasteful) or quantity obtained (too much or too little). He should like an Ajagara (a python or a boa constrictor with slight differences), subsist himself on whatever food that comes to him without his effort and with indifference (Udaseena). Even if no food comes to him over a long period of time, he should not exert himself just like his Guru the Ajagara. Although endowed with a body of physical strength, having mental energy and soundness of the sense organs, a yogi should consciously withdraw from exerting himself for food and remain actionless yet sleepless.<ref name=":6" /> Thus a yogi learns to '''Control his sense organs from an Ajagara''' even-though fully endowed with all capacities to use them.

<blockquote>मुनिः प्रसन्नगम्भीरो दुर्विगाह्यो दुरत्ययः । अनन्तपारो ह्यक्षोभ्यः स्तिमितोद इवार्णवः ॥ ५ ॥ </blockquote><blockquote>समृद्धकामो हीनो वा नारायणपरो मुनिः । नोत्सर्पेत न शुष्येत सरिद्भिरिव सागरः ॥ ६ ॥ (Bhag. Pura. 11.8.5-6)<ref name=":3" /></blockquote>Like the unfathomable, limitless, unperturbable deep sea of clear, translucent water, a yogi should be quiet, absorbed in meditation, inscrutable, unaffected by time and space, and undisturbed by passions. Just as the sea does not overflow its limits when rivers and flood waters come gushing into it, nor does it dry up with the drying up of rivers, a muni should neither be elated when his desires are fulfilled nor feel depressed when disappointed in actions, but be '''Complacent like the Sagara''' and be devoted to Narayana at all times.<ref name=":6" />
