How to Make Quick Progress in Spiritual Path?

It is Not how much one Reads,
But how much one Understands, Reflects on,
Meditates upon that Assures Success.

It is Đ
Quality,
Intensity,
Sincerity,
Devotion,
Understanding,
&

Enthusiasm of Heart with which one does Đ Sādhanā,
that will Determine the True Heights to which the Student can Rise in His Self-Mastery.

As long as Our Heart is loaded with its Own base
Urges,
Motives,
Plans,
&
Schemes,
that Self-Shackled Heart cannot ‘Take off’ from its

fields of Sorrows & Restlessness into the Brilliant cloudless Sky of Spiritual Freedom & Cultural Ease.

Break the Shackles;
Make the vehicle Lighter.

Warm up the Engines of Meditation through Kīrtana (devotional chants) & Japa.
Know the Route from the Study of the Scriptures

Why Insist on Brahmacarya (Self Control)?

Brahmacarya is Not only the control of the Sex Impulses,

But is also the Practice of Self-control in all Avenues of
Sense Impulses
&
Sense Satisfactions.

(1/7)

Unless the Seeker has built up a perfect Cage of Intelligent Self-control,
Đ entire World of Objects will flood his Bosom to Bring therein a State of Unending Chaos.

A Mind thus agitated by the Inflow of Sense stimuli is a Mind that is completely Dissipated & Ruined.

Đ Physical Body longs for Contact with the World of Objects in order to Gain Sense Gratification.

When We Continue to live Only for the Gratification of Our Sensual Demands,
Passions Multiply & Ultimately Consume Us.

IISri Adi Śaṅkarācārya-श्री आदि शङ्कराचार्यII
Sōpānaṁ 40 : Śrī Kālahasti, Śeshagiri & Kāñchipuram

Acharya & the group resumed their journey & passing through different lands, They reached Śrī Kālahasti, The Mandirā with the element Air as the Liṅga.

#Thread
#Sopanams

After worshipping the Bhagavān & Devi at Kālahasti, the group proceeded towards Śeshagiri.

The mountain ranges here resemble ĀdiŚeṣa in a reclining Posture.
The Murti in the Mandirā known variously as Saptagirisha, Venkateshwara,
& the Bhagavān on the banks of Pushkarini,

has been worshipped as Shiva, Vishnu, Devi & Kartikeya at various times in History.
Whatever it may be, everyone felt that Bhagavān Venkaṭāchalapati, residing in the expansive mountain ranges, had a
Divine,
Celestial & Incomparable Splendour.

Some of them asked Acharya about

You know,
Bhagavān Śrī Krishna had created His own little company of thieves in Gokul &
He was their Leader.

Who else was in this crew?
At least One child from each home.

Thus,
every home in Gokul was represented in this special gang of thieves.❤️
(1/4)

Now, think.
When they went to Steal from any home in Gokul,
The Child from that home was also in this gang,
so how can it be called theft?

Whenever they would gather to lay out their plans,
One of them would Happily say,

“Let us go to my home today!”

Yet all the Gopīs would go only to Yashodā-jī & file fabricated complaints.
They did this, of course,
just to have an excuse to see the Bhagavān.
They thought if they went & complained to her, she would surely call Him to reprimand Him,

आब्रह्मस्तम्बपर्यन्ते भूतग्रामे चतुर्विधे।
विज्ञस्यैव हि सामर्थ्य मिच्छानिच्छाविवर्जने॥

"Of the 4 categories of Existence, from Brahmā down to a Grass Blade,
It is the Wise One alone who has the capacity to renounce Desires & Aversions.

According to the Upaniṣads,
Đ Total World of beings Dwelling in the Surface of this Globe, Falls under 4 Types :

~Jarāyuja or Garbhaja: Those that are Born from the Womb;

~Aṇḍaja: Those that are Born from Eggs;

~Svedaja: Those that are Born from Warm vapour or Sweat;

&

~Udbhijja: Those that are Born of Seeds or Sprouting Up.

All these together indicate the entire World of beings that exists here amidst Us.
In order to Indicate the Entire Cosmos,
Janaka Amplifies his Statement & Says,
"From the Creator down to a Grass Blade".
