સૂરજ સરીખા જ્ઞાન માં, ને શીતળ ચંદ્ર સમાન
વૈરાગ્ય વડવાનલ સમો, હે એને લેશ નહિ અભિમાન
સદાચાર માં રત સતત, ને ભગવદ્ ભક્તિ અપાર
નિષ્કામ વ્રત માં મેરુ સમ એવા સંત મોક્ષ નું દ્વાર

Title picture : Kapil - Devhuti Samvaad

Ref: Shrimad Bhagawatam 3.25.20 (Kapil Muni Upadesh)

प्रसंगमजरं पाशमात्मनः कवयो विदुः ।
स एव साधुषु कृतो मोक्षद्वारमपावृतम् ॥

Shri Kapil Muni:

"Every learned man knows very well that attachment for the material is the greatest entanglement of the spirit soul. But that same attachment, when applied to the self-realized Sadhu, opens the door of liberation."

Ref : Swaminarayan Vachanamrut

Thereupon Muktānand Swāmi asked, “Mahārāj, through the dialogue between King Janak and the nine Yogeshwars, the 11th canto of the Shrimad Bhāgwat describes the nature of bhāgwat dharma. How is that bhāgwat dharma upheld? Also, how can the gateway to liberation be opened?”

Shriji Mahārāj replied, “Bhāgwat dharma is upheld by maintaining profound love towards the Ekāntik Sant of God, who possesses the attributes of swadharma, gnān, vairāgya, and bhakti coupled with knowledge of God’s greatness. Maintaining profound love towards such a Sant also opens the gateway to liberation. Thus, Kapildev Bhagwān has said to Devhuti:

Prasangam-ajaram pāsham-ātmānaha kavayo viduhu |
Sa eva sādhushu kruto moksha-dvāram-apāvrutam ||

“‘If a person maintains profound love towards the Ekāntik Sant of God just as resolutely as he maintains profound love towards his own relatives, then the gateway to liberation opens for him.’”

Ref: Gita

अर्जुन उवाच
स्थितप्रज्ञस्य का भाषा समाधिस्थस्य केशव ।
स्थितधीः किं प्रभाषेत किमासीत व्रजेत किम् ॥

"Arjuna said:- What is the sign of the man in Samadhi whose intelligence is firmly fixed in wisdom? How does the sage of settled understanding speak, how sit, how walk?"

श्रीभगवानुवाच
प्रजहाति यदा कामान्सर्वान्पार्थ मनोगतान् ।
आत्मन्येवात्मना तुष्टः स्थितप्रज्ञस्तदोच्यते ॥
"The Blessed Lord said: When a man expels, O Partha, all desires from the mind, and is satisfied in the self by the self, then is he called stable in intelligence."

दुःखेष्वनुद्विग्नमनाः सुखेषु विगतस्पृहः ।
वीतरागभयक्रोधः स्थितधीर्मुनिरुच्यते ॥
"He whose mind is undisturbed in the midst of sorrows and amid pleasures is free from desire, from whom liking and fear and wrath have passed away, is the sage of settled understanding."

यदा संहरते चायं कूर्मोऽङ्गानीव सर्वशः ।
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता ॥
"Who draws away the senses from the objects of sense, as the tortoise draws in his limbs into the shell, his intelligence sits firmly founded in wisdom"

तानि सर्वाणि संयम्य युक्त आसीत मत्परः ।
वशे हि यस्येन्द्रियाणि तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता ॥
"Having brought all the senses under control, he must sit firm in Yoga, wholly given up to Me; for whose senses are mastered, of him the intelligence is firmly established (in its proper seat)."

विहाय कामान्यः सर्वान्पुमांश्चरति निःस्पृहः ।
निर्ममो निरहंकारः स शान्तिमधिगच्छति ॥
"Who abandons all desires and lives and acts free from longing, who has no “I” or “mine” (who has extinguished his individual ego in the One and lives in that unity), he attains to the great peace"

एषा ब्राह्मी स्थितिः पार्थ नैनां प्राप्य विमुह्यति ।
स्थित्वास्यामन्तकालेऽपि ब्रह्मनिर्वाणमृच्छति ॥
"This is brāhmī sthitiḥ (firm standing in the Brahman), O son of Pritha. Having attained thereto one is not bewildered; fixed in that status at his end, one can attain to extinction in the Brahman."
