The community of the Gadashti, though performing the same rituals, have different intentions, and therefore their fruits are different. Just as water is the most important factor in agriculture, so too is intention the most important factor in achieving the desired fruit. 118, Therefore, even though the rituals are the same, the fruits are different due to the intention. Therefore, intention is the most important factor in achieving the desired fruit, just as water is in agriculture.
The form of fulfillment of desires that was discussed above, even though the rituals are the same, the fruits are different according to the intention.
For example, five people may perform the same rituals of yajna, dana, etc., or may perform the same actions like digging wells, etc., but the fruits they receive will be different according to their intentions. This is because the fruits are different according to the intention, therefore intention is the most important factor in achieving the desired fruit. Here, a well-known example is given: just as water is the most important factor in agriculture, so too is intention in this case. Even if the land is good, the seeds are good, and the land is well-cultivated, but there is no water, then all this is in vain. If there is water, then all this is successful. In the same way, in the same rituals of yajna, dana, etc., intention is the most important factor.
Due to the difference in intention, it is said:
रागादिभिरयं चेह भिद्यतेऽनेकधा नृणाम् । नानाफलोपभोक्तृणां तथा बुद्धयादिभेदतः ॥ ११९ ।।
चित्र लगी लेकने, रागादिથી આ એમ;
बहु प्रकारे भिन्न अहिं, बुद्धयादि भेरे तेम 119,
Meaning: This intention is divided into many ways by raga, etc., and by the difference in intelligence, etc., of those who enjoy different fruits.
Kutte - Kimi - This intention is also divided into many ways by raga, etc., in this world, by the difference in the minds of humans, by the difference in their softness, medium, and firmness. Which specific humans? It is said: those who enjoy different fruits, and by the difference in intelligence, etc., of those who enjoy different fruits.| SR No. | 034350 |
