The most prominent principle (Sookti) of
MATA SRI KAMALAMBIKA is
VAKARAMU
LENI MANASE SRI CHAKARAMU
ATTI ARCHAANE SRICHAKRACHARANA
This literally translates as follows:
A
distortionless and an unaberrated mind is a perfect dwelling place of the
Almighty and a perfect offering to the Almighty. The way to reduce or eliminate
the existing deformities of the mind and methods to avoid getting further
distorted is taken up under the topic
A TO Z OF MATA KAMALAMBIKA’S
TEACHINGS.
A |
Accepting
the Divine Plan and the Divine Intervention is Devotion |
B |
Being
Aware of Goodness in ourselves and in other’s is the first step of Sadhana
i.e. practice towards PERFECTION |
C |
Criticising
and Correcting one’s own self is
more fruitful for Sadhak than Commenting
and judging others |
D |
Disturbance and
Destruction always come from
within. Similarly Development and Devotion comes from within us. We
have to make conscious Decision of
what we want and Deserve |
E |
Each one of
us is an Embodiment of Divinity.
Hence, we should not only respect others we should also respect our own
selves. A person respects his own self by nurturing good thoughts, being in
good company and by Elevating
himself. |
F |
Food
plays a great role in shaping a Sadhak. Here, we mean food for body and mind.
Hence we should take care of what we feed to the stomach through the mouth
and much more importantly what we feed to the mind through our eyes, ears,
nose, mouth and touch. |
G |
Goodness is
revealed only when we are free from Guilt,
Greed and Guile |
H |
Heaven is
not a place or an already existing to which we go! It has to be created,
experienced and sustained by each one of us by our own self. Building our Heaven is our own responsibility |
I |
Involvement in
any activity without getting attached to other’s opinions, reactions and
responses helps our mind to stay focussed on the action than the end result.
Such an involvement purifies the mind. |
J |
Judging people,
situation and events blocks the free thinking of mind. Such a mind is
cluttered and either forms prejudice or preference and prevents one from
acting efficiently. |
K |
Knowledge
should be transformed to wisdom by three fold process i.e. Observation,
Assimilation and Action. Such a person definitely strides towards perfection. |
L |
Love +
Expectation = Bondage
Hence,
to remain in bondage or to be liberated is one’s own free will.
|
M |
Mercy,
Magnanimity and Mentality shapes the personality of a person.
These qualities decide his intra and inter personal relationships. |
N |
Noble
thoughts should be inculcated since childhood. Noble thoughts lead to noble
actions which transforms to service to mankind. |
O |
Obeisance and
Obedience flattens our ego and develops Openness of our
mind. |
P |
Purity of
thoughts leads to Intellectual clarity , which in turn keeps us firmly rooted
in Jnana and Dharma, |
Q |
Quelling
fear,
desire and anger is the most difficult and the important requisite for a
sadhak |
R |
Realising
one’s mistake and rectifying our behaviour and attitude helps in internal
purification and Refinement |
S |
Satisfaction
towards materialistic attainments can make a person happy and direct the mind
towards intellectual Refinement |
T |
Trust
and Faith should always be reposed on the Universal, Omnipresent and Divine
Superconscious, since we are also part of It! |
U |
Use
your
wealth and treasure your relationships instead of using people and treasuring
wealth. |
V |
Victory
and
failure are both learning experiences and not the end product of life. |
W |
Wealth
and Women do not Weaken
our Sadhana. They are strong resources if used properly. |
X |
A great X (cross)
section of people believes that mind has to be controlled by Sadhana.
Mind cannot be controlled; the thoughts generated by it can only be
channelized. |
Y |
Yearning for
a guru sincerely with all your heart makes the Lord Himself descend in the
form of Sadhguru and is Hari! |
Z |
Zeal
and Zest
are not sufficient to train the mind consistent and committed effort can tune
the mind to orderliness. |
JAI SREE MATA...
I heard in various speeches from guruji "Vakramu leni Manasu chakramu" and every time I hear about it , I feel like I have to practice it and Guruji as explained in this article mentioned several times in different simple ways to practice but I failed to practice it . I agree about channelizing ideas of mind , I will try and hopefully will continue to practice so I can be under Guru's umbrella . Thanks for such a great and detailed explanation about sukthi.
ReplyDeleteso many good sukthis to learn and practice.with guruvugarus blessings,i wish every sishya should follow and implement them in their lives.
