Chapter – 9 – Shivarcchanam
Oh! Thatha, no Jeeva is free from the
material interest and bondage from the day the creation has begun, there is no
one in the three worlds free from the female elephant like the worldly interest
of lust, desire, pride, jealously, anger, ego, etc. The human mind like the male elephant is powerless
before that female elephant of worldly interest; therefore no one has found the
poll to fasten that female elephant. The Jeeva is well known for its
uncontrollable interest in worldly matters like richness, fame, prosperity,
wealth, and excessive attachments to families, children, companions,
relatives, and friends. There is no one in the three worlds who has achieved
perfect control over worldly desires and bondage.
Oh! Jeeva, the ascetics who have obtained
perpetual grace of the Supreme Lord, move fearlessly across the lands, they
accept alms which was offered by pure and pious people, they associate with
the saintly men and Sages, ponder over the Paramarththa Thaththva, Veda,
Vedanta and scriptures, they conduct austerities and Tapas, Alas! They have no
interest in worldly affairs or have no attachment with any of the living and
non-living things, they blissfully roam in Paramanandha/supreme bliss. Oh!
Jeeva, life on Earth is deplorable, one day all those dreams and expectations
would shatter, the attractiveness of the body would ruin, virtues would get
tarnished in the constant association with the wicked people, eventually, the moment will arise to bump into Yama, and at that moment you would be pushed to the
state of intense trepidations. Oh! Jeeva, listen to me carefully; there is no
safest heaven available other than the lotus feet of Madhananthaka, the supreme
Lord Shiva who is the destroyer of Kamadeva. Oh! Jeeva, your wealth, beauty,
and virtues would not help you during your troubled time, other than the
meditation and contemplation upon the supreme Lord Parameshwara, hence strive
hard to achieve Moksha.
The noble souls take pleasure in the
meditation and contemplation upon the supreme Lord Maheshwara who is the
commander of the Universe, or the supreme Lord Janardhana who resides as soul
in Jeeva, these virtuous people have no sense of discrimination, even though they
are passionately devoted to that supreme Lord Shiva who is adorned in the crescent
moon on the matted hair locks. Oh! Jeeva, when are you going to lead that noble
life, contemplating upon that supreme Lord Shiva, sitting on the white sand bed
of the sacred river Ganga in the silence of full moon night, and constantly
utter his sacred names with overflowing tears on the eyes? Oh! Jeeva, when are
you going to lead a pious life, offering all that have owned as charities, with
extreme kindness and compassion, remembering the miseries and sorrows of the worldly
existence? When are you going to settle in the hermitage and take pleasure in
the full moon night and contemplate upon the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord
Shiva? Oh! Jeeva, The noble souls who have achieved an abundance of piousness,
and have the eternal grace of that supreme Lord Shambhu would attain the
fortune to stand before the sacred river Ganga, wearing loincloths and cry
out “Oh! Shambho, Oh! Thripurari, kindly shower your compassionate grace upon
us,” and spend days like moments.
Oh! Kamari, who burned the Lord of Kama
into ashes, Oh! Prabho, when did I get freed from the grief depending on the
Kings? Oh! Prabho, When did I get the opportunity to live a pious life taking a dip on the sacred river
Ganga, and conduct veneration of you with the fresh alluring flowers of rich
fragrances and fruits collected from the woods, and engage in meditation upon
your lotus feet, seated on the bed of rocks or in the caves, living on fruits
and fiber roots as meals, spending hours and hours in the association of saints
and ascetics, and take pleasure in the Athmabodha with your grace?
Oh! Shambho, Oh! Prabho, when did I achieve
the serenity of mind, living in solitude without any interest in worldly matters
and bondage, living on alms, fearlessly roaming attired in directions as
clothe, and engage in wash off my sins? The
Yogeeshwaras who live on alms, pure-hearted, take pleasure in Bhiksha,
live anywhere in the world without any reservations, they abandon the wealth,
fame, richness, possessions, wife, children, family, friends and relatives as a
‘Thrina’/Grass, while living on Earth they achieve Paramanandha Avabodha, with
the grace of the supreme Lord attains Moksha effortlessly. Oh! Jeeva, the
Moksha Sadhana is possible only for Yogeeshwara with the grace of the supreme
Lord.
