Slokam 5

Manu was advised by Narada to take his daughter Devahuti to Kardama and offer her in marriage. The slokam affirms that it was the Paramatma who advised Narada to do so,  thereby confirming that it is only the Paramatma that directs and controls events in this universe.

Reading a bit deeper into the Slokam,  Narada instigates us into action based on the Paramathma’s instructions. If we are without bias and keep our minds open and receptive,  we will receive these instructions for acting in our best interest all the time.  If we recognize these instructions are from the Paramathma, and follow them to the “T”, progress is assured along the correct path.  The problem is that these channels of communication are closed, for most of us,  by clogging forces such as fear, ego, ignorance, doubt etc.

Unclogging the receptors of the mind and leaving them open, will ensure inflow of divine messages and inspiration for sustenance. It is not possible to discern and identify these messages if our minds constantly makes noise of its own. This noise must be turned down, using Bhakthi as the volume control. 

May we be endowed with the strength to quieten the mind and focused at the feet of the Paramathma.
