## Kanta Drishti: The Knower Does Not Become "Bhaga"
(Page 19)
It is said that one should be fully immersed in the Dharma heard from a Satpurush. The Dharma heard from a Satpurush, in which one has love for all other objects, is said to be abandoned by becoming indifferent, with one-pointedness, one-mindedness, one-rhythm, one-remembrance, one-series, one-use, and one-result. The desirable love that remains in the mind is eliminated, and the teachings of making it into Shruta Dharma are given. One should love the Shruta, which is infinitely superior to desirable love. However, an example cannot be limited, so love is said to be limited to the extent of the example, but the principle is not limited. - Shrimad Rajchandra, Patraank 321 (395)
Another well-known example is also relevant here. Just as a cow goes to graze in the forest, roaming in all four directions, but its mind remains on its beloved calf, similarly, four or five friends go to fetch water, carrying the water pot on their heads, walking briskly, talking, clapping, and laughing loudly, but their eyes are on their "Gaguria" - their water pot. In the same way, the mind of a knowledgeable knower, free from the distractions of external influences, is always absorbed in Shruta Dharma, even while performing other worldly tasks.
"Jin Charne Chitt Lav, Vaise Jin Charne Chitt Lav,
Chara Charnake Karane Re, Gau
Anmen Jay;
Chara Chere Fire Chihun Dish, Vanki Nazar Madhuria Mah.....Vaise Jin...Chara Panch Sahelimi Mili, Hilmil Pani Jay;
Taali Dvie Khadkhad Hase, Vanki Nazar Gazuria Mahyu....Vaise" - Shri Anandghanji.
"Nishdin Sutant Jagtan, Huida Thi Na Rehe Dur Re;
Jab Upgar Sabhariye, Tav Upje Anandpur Re." - Shri Yashovijayji.
And due to the influence of this natural, inherent, and perceptive knowledge, this knower, a man of Samyagdrishti, does not become "Bhaga" - does not become a cause of Samsara! The worldly "Bhaga" that is the cause of Samsara for other ordinary, natural people, even that "Bhaga" does not become a cause of Samsara for this knower with this vision. This is an extremely surprising but ultimately true event. The explanation is this: ordinary worldly ignorant beings are attracted to the objects of the senses, and this knower is constantly attracted to Shruta Dharma. The ignorant being is always attached to the objects of the senses, indulging in sensual desires and longing for them. And the knower, as seen above, is always absorbed in Shruta Dharma.
