Slokam 10

The slokam clearly enunciates the need for associating the different objects, events and occurrences with the swaroopam of the Paramathma. The intent has only one objective and that is to focus the mind on the feet of the Paramathman.  The association of the manifestation of this world, entirely with the Paramathmas swaroopam will ensure that His image never leaves the mind.  In the times that we are all troubled and subject to misery, just invoking this swaroopam will relieve any pain and restore balance and peace.

If we can get to the point where every tree is seen as the Paramathma’s body hair and every river as his blood stream, then there will be no more trouble to endure on this planet.  The only objective is to settle and surrender the mind to the Paramathma.

 The Paramathma’s image should always be associated with hope, peace, comfort, tranquility and eternity. The image is the only hope for us deprived beings to gain confidence and assurance that there is a source of all manifestation and that source is willingly waiting to accept our return home.

Let us pray for an endowment of the conviction to stay on in the path to liberation from worldly pursuits.
