"ARISE"AND "AWAKE":-

-

1."Vairagya":-


Rude shock in life such as loss of property, sudden bereavements, disappointments, in love and such other causes may temporarily make us realize the falsity of the values lived by us in our day-to-day life of competition and selfishness. Man, under this stress in life, comes to entertain, a seemingly healthy 'vairagya'!

2."Passing mood":-


But this is only a passing mood. In many of us this mood does come at some time or other, but soon it passes of us as an impotent impulse. This state, temporary opening of our mind to the hollowness of life as lived by us, is here indicated by the term:- 'arise'.


3."Arise and Awake":-


At this state, the seeker is not fully aware of the very change that has taken place in him. Hence the Rishis warns "awake"; meaning that the one who has, under the lash of circumstances, come to accomplish the command "arise"should try his best to come to a fuller realisation of what actually happened within him in his personality, and thus fully get awakened.

You will have to reinforce them by clear, continuous and deep thinking. Through Vichara (ratiocination), Manana (deep reflection) and meditation, you will have to make the thoughts settle down and crystallize into a definite shape.

Drive off all extraneous thoughts that have no connection with the subject-matter you are handling at th...
