________________ 252 VIVEKACHUDAMANI [1Threefold misery-the Adhyatmika (those pertaining to the body and mind, such as pain, anguish, etc.), the Adhidaivika (those coming from divine visitations or scourges of Nature, such as cyclone, earthquake, etc.) and the Adhibhautika (those due to other creatures on earth). 2Wander &c.-are lured by the prospect of happiness from transitory things; which, as in the case of a mirage, exhaust them the more. Easy reach-for this Mine of Bliss is their very nature. It is no external thing to be acquired. They have simply to realise that they are already That. On to Liberation-by inducing them to take away their self-imposed veil. The solemn cadence of the Sârdulavikridita metre makes a fitting termination to the prophetic discourse. ] http://www.ApniHindi.com
