The opponent of Dhama/self-control


Sage Santhkumara speaks “ Oh! Rajan,  lack of Dhama/self- control is the togetherness of Ashtadhashadhosha/eight types of impurities, the learned say the practice of Dhama is free from eighteen types of impurities known as 1)Anritham/falsehood and spreading rumors 2)Paishunam/wickedness 3) Thrishna/desire 4) Prathikoolyam/disagreement 5) Thamas/ignorance 6) Arathi/envy 7) Lokadhvesham/ spreading hatred in the society and among the people 8) Abhimanam/pride 9)Vivadha/dispute 10) Pranipeedanam/cruelty to animals to satiate one’s own desire 11) Parivadham/reproach, criticism 12) Athivadham/ usage of abusive language 13) Parithapam/repentance, guilt 14) Akshama/impatience and inability to face grief or happiness 15) Adhrithi/lack of control over sense 16) Asidhdhi/failure 17) Papakrithyam /sinful deeds 18) Himsa/harmful deeds. The learned and wise affirms that the practice of good self- control protects the Jeeva from the above-said impurities.”

 

The impurities of the Madha/arrogance and pride

 

Sage Sanathkumara speaks “ Oh! Rajan, the Jeeva who have no control over haughtiness do not get freed from the above-said eighteen impurities/afflictions, that are the major obstacles in achieving the knowledge of all-pervasive Bhramam. The learned recommends the practice of 1) Truthfulness 2) Apaishuna/honesty 3) Athrishna/free from desires 4) Aprathikoolya/lack of stubbornness 5) Athamass/pure knowledge 6) Arathi/free from the chase of sensual pleasure 7) Lokadhvesham/free from creating unrest in the society 8) Lack of pride 9) Avivadha/free from arguments and conflicts 10)Apranihimsa/abstain from killing lives 11) Aparivadham/free from repentance 12) Anathivadham/ free from unnecessary arguments 13) Aparithapam/ free from depression 14)Kshama /patience 15) Dhrithi/courage 16) Siddhi / understanding 17) Apapakrithyam/abstain from sinful deeds and 18) Ahimsa/ practice of non-violence would protect the Jeeva from the constant grief and miseries of worldly existence.”

 

Thrividha Thyaga/ three sacrifices

Sage Sanathkumara speaks “ Oh! Rajan, the practice of six types of Thyaga would bring Shreyas/fortune to the Jeeva, and the three of them are extremely difficult to practice.  The practice of these six types of Thagya would remove the miseries; as a result, the Jeeva would win over from the afflictions of the Adhyathmika, Adhibhauthika, and Adhidheivika. Oh! Rajan, 1) Give away children and wealth as a charity to a deserving person is the Prathamathyaga/the first and foremost Thyaga.  2) Ishtapoorththam/ sacrifice the fruitful results of spiritual and religious rites performed and surrender to the supreme Lord, perform all the deeds as Eshwaraththa, is the Dhvitheeyathyaga/second Thyaga, and perform all the Shrautha and Smarththa Karma as Eashwaraththa, it would please the deities and Pithrus    3) the third one is Kamathyaga/practice of Virakthi/ abandon interest in interest in worldly matters and bondage. The person who strictly follows these three Thyaga is Apramadhi/learned, wise, /which is one of the Ashtaguna.”

 

Ashtaguna of Jjani –

 

Sage Sanathkumara speaks “ Oh! Rajendra I shall describe the eight virtues of a Jjani 1) Sathyam/truthfulness – speak truth and follow truthfulness in all the deeds 2) Dhyanam/meditation – the practice of constant meditation would purify the intellect, it removes the impurities like Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha and Mathshcharya 3) Samadhana/ be determined and practice the religious and spiritual rite to achieve that all-pervasive supreme Bhramam  4) Chodhya/curious to learn, who am I? Where did I come from? Whom do I belong to? 5) Vairagyam/abandonment – The practice of renunciation of objects seen and subjects heard of worldly matters  6) Astheya/no stealing 7) Bhramacharyam/observance of celibacy – the practice of abstaining from eight types of Kamakeli/Maithuna such as Smaranam/constant remembrance, Keerthanam/finding pleasure in repeating, Keli/amorous sport, Veekshanam/eye contacts, Guhyabhashanam/secret talks, Sankalpam/determination, Adhyavasaya/clinging on to the subject, Kriyanishpaththi/physical pleasure and last but not the least 8) Asamgraha/abstain from begging, refusing favors from the Puthrapauthra.
