Slokam 6
When we are born on Earth as human beings endowed with all the required faculties that enable self realization, through the Bhakthi Margam, we should not be indulging in any other pursuit. This test is a severe one. The consequences of non-compliance are also equally severe.
The primary requirement of redirecting our attention and maintaining it every moment, at the feet of the Paramathma, will be possible when we recognize that the effort results in the experience of complete bliss. Focusing consciousness and the mind without deviation, excludes both desires and the consequent misery from pervading our mind.
Although it is likely that all of us would understand what is required of us, life poses constant challenges that severely test this endeavor. We cannot deviate under any circumstances. Once we reach a certain threshold, the continued experience of natural bliss will begin to take over. At this point, we will not be impacted by worldly pulls and pushes. We will reach a complete state of self contained satisfaction, that does not depend on external accolades. Until this state is attained, it is Bhakthi alone that will keep us moving along on this path to ultimate eternity.
Although we may temporarily falter, it is important that we recognize that we have faltered in our effort, and quickly return to the path. There is no forgivance or deliberately opting for worldly comfort, even it it only means focus on family.
The irrevocable assurance of the Paramathma, as demonstrated in the various slokams of Bhagavatham is that He will be there to support and take care of the needs of His Bhakthas.
May we never lose confidence or deviate from dedication to the Paramathma.
