STUDY, JAPA AND MEDITATION:-

COMBINING THREE MAIN PATHS:-

The Rishies encourage us to combine these three main paths(study, japa and meditation judiciously and thus deny the mind the least chance to wander freely into the spirituality unhygienic fields of sense--gratifications.

"After listening, study, and japa, practice meditation. After emerging from meditation, engage in listening, study and japa. After japa, meditate again. At the end of meditation, pursue japa. One who is thus well trained with japa and meditation, on such a steady seeker the Supreme Auspiciousness ( Para-Siva-Parameswara ) showers His Grace. " 

PARTICIPATION, INVOLVEMENT,AND COMMITTED:-


While listening ( sravanam ) we only 'participate'in spiritual life. When we study (swadhyaya ) we get 'involved'in the ideas to which we listened. In japa our involvement deepens and in meditation we come to get ourselves totally 'committed to the ideal, which is the goal of all spiritual seekers.[to be cont--d]
