SHAANT SUDHAARAS
PAGE NO. 8
यदि भव-भ्रमखेदपराङ्गमुखं, यदि च चित्तमनन्तसुखोन्मुखम् ।
श्रुणुत तत्सुधियः शुभ-भावनामृतरसं, मम शान्तसुधारसम् ।।३।।
4. So, if we are tired of this cycle of births & deaths, and eager to attain infinite happiness of liberation, then we should attentively listen to this scripture which is filled with mindful ideologies and affirmations.
सुमनसो मनसि श्रुतपावना, निदधतां द्वयधिका दश भावनाः ।
यदिह रोहति मोहतिरोहिता-द् भूतगतिर्विदिता समतालता । । ४ । ।
5. These 16 Bhavnas have the power to cleanse our inner self. Our equanimity is hidden by layer of attachments. So, by retaining these 16 Bhavnas in our hearts, we can wipe the layer of attachments and flourish equanimity within us.
आर्तरौद्र-परिणामपावक-प्लुष्टभावुक विवेक सौष्ठवे । मानसे विषयलोलुपात्मनाम् क्व प्ररोहतितमां शमाङ्कुरः ||५||
6. The brutal thoughts of grief, sorrow & cruelty are like fire. If we are tempted by luxuries and the grace of our wisdom burns away, then how will calmness sprout within us?
यस्याशयं श्रुतकृतातिशयं विवेक- पीयूषवर्षरमणीयरमं श्रयन्ते । सद्भावनासुरलता नहि तस्य दूरे, लोकोत्तरप्रशमसौख्यफलप्रसूतिः ||६||
