Gandhi's Teachers : Rajchandra Ravjibhai Mehta
स्यादीद्दशी दशा यत्र सद्गुरुबोधपूर्विका। सद्विचार:तयाऽऽविस्स्यात्सुखदोऽदु:खदोनृणाम् ।।४।।
Where those conditions exist (as in Verse 38), one pays rapt attention to the teachings of a true teacher, thereby noble thoughts (right thinking) develop, and thus arises paindestroying bliss.
41 ज्यां प्रगटे सुविचारणा, त्यां प्रगटे निजज्ञान। जे ज्ञाने क्षय मोह थई, पामे पद निर्वाण ॥४१।। सद्विचारो भवेद् यत्र तत्राऽऽत्मत्वप्रकाशनम् । तेन मोहं क्षयं नीत्वा प्राप्नुयान्निवृत्तिपदम् ।।४१।। ___Where noble thoughts (right thinking)) exist, selfenlightenment occurs. That self-enlightenment vanquishes delusions and liberation state is attained.
Six Padas (Spiritual Steps)
42 उपजे ते सुविचारणा, मोक्षमार्ग समजाय। गुरु-शिष्यसंवादथी, भाखु षट्पद आंहि ।।४२।। उद्भवेत सद्विचारो यैः सुझानं मुक्तिवर्त्म च। तानि वक्ष्ये पदानि षट् संवादे गुरु-शिष्ययोः॥४२॥
That which generates noble thoughts (right thinking), gives rise to true knowledge, and shows liberation path, is described here in six parts as a dialogue between the disciple and the true teacher.
43
'आत्मा छ,' 'ते नित्य छे' 'छे कर्ता निजकर्म'। 'छे भोक्ता,' वली 'मोक्ष छे' मोक्ष उपाय सुधर्म' ।।४३।। जीवोऽस्ति स च नित्योऽस्ति कर्ताऽस्ति निजकर्मणः। भोक्तास्ति च पुनर्मुक्तिर्मुक्त्युपायः सुदर्शनम् ।।४३।।
Soul is a being, is eternal, is the doer of own karmas, is the enjoyer/sufferer of karmas, is the revealer of right faith, and is the explorer of own means of liberation.
