What does He accept, what time, color or what shape: Karabhajan Yohishwarji

To the above inquiry of King Nimi plus additional supplement as to what should men do to worship HIM, what name and what process, Chamas Yogishwar asks the King to do away with all the dualities and the classifications attending to that. There should be no distinction.
Sole and only feeling, Ananya Bhava, should be his concentration. Do away with secondary feelings, perceptions, thoughts and intuition; Leave them all away, dismiss them in the sky, so to say literally. Always remain steadfast in His prayers. There will be no sin, even if it occured, Hari will wash away all of them. Take pure conscience into your Being.

Mind and senses not yet calmed down

In the process of earning meta-physical knowledge, King Nimi continues enquiring the nine Yogishwaris: the eighth question regarding taming up  of the mind and the senses is taken by Chamasji. What will happen/befall upon those persons whose wishes have not yet been calmed; whose worldly and para-worldly lust for enjoyment have not yet been fulfilled; hankering after enjoyment in the world beyond paramountly exists; mind and related senses are not under control; don't' perform prayers and meditation. A long list is forwarded to Chamas Rishiji.
The Rishi explains to the King that The Virat Purusha, The Macro-cosmic person is the lord, soul and determinate of men/women's fate. He is Niyanta, Swami and Atma. From his mouth was created the sattva pradhan Bramhan, From His hands came the mixed sattva and raja pradhan Kshatriyas, from His thigh came, raja mixed tama pradhan vaishya and grihastha ashram, the householders in the present nomenclature; from feet, tama pradhan shudra and from heart came bramhacharya, abstinence, from chest came vanprastha, the forest-dwellers and from head/brain came the sanyas asram.
Ashram and Pradhan relate to life styles of the then era, while the attributes of triguna,i.e., the sattvic, rajasic and tamasic were explained in detail in my previous blog under the same title/headings. Loosely explaining, sattvic is pure, rajasic is active performer while tamasic is dull, idle or something not good. A combination of these three attributes run our life and there is a mixture of these attributes, while we perform. Thus there could be plethora of combinations but Pradhan connotes, which attribute is a major one,or which attribute commands.
The Rishi further explains: we do not know the mystery of Karma, work; Study of Vedas from birth, wearing of sacred thread with a vow, near  the feet of Lord, etc does not mean that one is ascetic or god-friendly; not understanding the exact meaning or significance of Veda, but nevertheless, explaining them by words only. the arthavada, meaning, the conservatives.Explaining the purport of words, without its real significance.
Ego and attachment, longing women, always indulging and limiting oneself in sex with women, as if they provide satisfaction the Jiva, wealth and prosperity, lineage, education, donation, elegance, etc., all these together with strength and ego of work, men become blind and insult the saints and sages.
The Rishi further delves into the significance of Soutramni Yagna, whose intent is to establish selflessness, dignity or self-respect, and control of vulgar nature. He states that the result of wealth is to conduct piousness, from pious emanates knowledge of supreme reality and furthermost is the belief in religion. From there results the accomplishment of direct experience. Belief leads to maximum peace.
Self destructive people take ignorance as knowledge and for them, peace will never be attained. They are helpless and become helpless.

INFINITISM

The last post was unceremoniously cut short. What I did not mention was that following severe Titiksha, power to tolerate, whoever worships Shree Hari in the form of Fire, the Sun, Water, Guests  and own  inner conscience, the paramount soul as Shree Hari, he is liberated immediately.
King Nimi's Seventh question to Sage Drumil relates to the gospel and appearances of Infinity; all past, present and future appearances  of the Supreme Reality, which we call God in the absence of proper words, for he is wordless, as He performs such gospels independently but under the spell of infuence of His followers, the religious-oriented.
God is Infinite. Perhaps, one can count all the dust particles of the Universe, but nobody can illustrate, let explain or describe Him, the Formless. His countless attributes, the source/refuge of all Powers, emantes on His own as He creates Five Mahabhoot e.g., Earth, Water, Air, Light, Sky: His Manifold Virat form as inner conscience, the Antaryami, is his part of the whole,  we as Amsa. This Antaryami enters into and a being is created and that jiva becomes enjoyer, Bhokta; The owner of this manifold body, the Sariri is the beginningless doer Narayana.
From His Rajoguna part Brahma is created; from Sattvic part Dharma- Religion; from Tamoguna part He became Rudra. His first appearnce, Avatar, is Virat Purusha, Narayana. Then from daughter Moorti of Daksha Prajapati, son of Brahma, was born Nara-Narayana. He practiced Naiskarmya, unattched work, having no greed of outcome. He lives in Badri Ashram.  Fearful of his ascetic meditative power, Indra attempted a false start to disturb him by sending angels like Urvashi, luring them into worldly carnal desires. Nara-Narayana was furious but were not avengeful. Because they were beyond Maya  and socalled Pure, Nirvikar, Changeless. Many of the Ascetics seem to control their senses, hunger-thirst, heat-cold and tolerate the turbulence, lightning-rains; can control  the wild waves of their lust for food and sex which are compared to oceanic upheavals; they tolerate this, cross them but somehow remain under the influence of anger and lose their wisdom. They get swept away, drowned by the  torrent size of a cow footsteps:  Self-destructive, they thus lose thier hard earned Tapasya, meditation.
Many of God's appearances- Swan, Datrateya, Sanak-Sanandan-Sanatan-Sanatkumar and coming down to earthly appearnces as  our father Rishav, and many such Avatars like Fish, Hayagriv, Tortoise, Narasimha, Vaman,  Parsuram, Rama, Krishna, Buddha have all been deeds/gospels of God to serve mankind, His faithful devotees and as was said earlier comes down to earth under their inflence.
