Explanation: A fertile soil is essential for the seed to germinate, blossom and to fruitify. In case the seed is put in barren land, it loses its property of germination and gets destroyed.
Similarly for spiritual development, it is pertinent that the soul should be spiritually receptive. Humility is the attribute of receptivity or growth in the soul. One who possesses the quality of humility, soon develops spiritually. He attains the requisite characteristic of becoming a completely purified soul.
The Guru (Spiritual master) is the centre of his humility. He is the initial power that awakens the hidden source of knowledge which is lying in dormant state in the disciple. Gu stands for darkness while ru means the stopper. The master serves as the stopper for the darkness of ignorance. So, he is called Guru.
The practice of Avashyak (Pratikramam) is a practice for self-purification. Selfpurification is not possible without the blessing of the master. So with a heart full of deep gratitude, the spiritual head is greeted with vandan sutra.
Four words—Vandami, Namansami, Sakkaremi, Sammanemi mentioned in Vandan Sutra are interpreted as under:
1. Vandami—I praise you. Vandan means to appreciate, to highlight good qualities.
2. Namansami-I bow to you, the meaning of namaskar is that one bends his body and humbly places his forehead at the feet of the maser.
3. Sakkaremi— I respect you, meaning of sakkar is that one humbly stands up and pays his respect to the master (Guru).
4. Sammanemi— I offer myself to you; to offer food, cloth and the like is called sammaan.
