________________ VIVEKACHUDAMANI 251 • 579. May those Sannyâsins' who are seekers after Liberation, who have purged themselves of all taints of the mind by the observance of the prescribed methods, who are averse to worldly pleasures, are of pacified minds, and take a delight in the Sruti,-appreciate this salutary teaching ! [ Sannyåsins—The word 'Yati' may simply mean ' one who is struggling for realisation.' So also in Slokas 556 and 567. Prescribed methods Secondary or indirect (such as sacrifices, etc.), and primary or direct (such as control of the senses and mind, etc.) ] WWW.ApniHindi.com संसाराभ्वनि तापभानुकिरणप्रोद्भुतदाहव्यथा खिन्नानां जलकांक्षया मरुभुवि भ्रान्त्या परिभ्राम्यताम् । भत्यासन्नसुधाम्बुधिं सुखकर ब्रह्माद्वयं दर्शय त्येषा शङ्करभारती विजयते निर्वाणसंदायिनी ॥ ५८०॥ 580. For those who are afflicted, in the way of the world, by the burning pain due to the sunshine of threefold misery,' and who through delusion wander about in a desert in search of water,- for them here is the triumphant message of Sankara pointing out, within easy reach, the comforting ocean of nectar, the Brahman, the One without a second to lead them on to Liberation ! http://www.Apnihindi.com
