The Music of the Divine

या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता
या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना।
या ब्रह्माच्युत शंकरप्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा वन्दिता
सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा॥
Our humble pranaam at the Lotus Feet of Goddess Saraswati, Her Holiness Maa Purnanandaji and the Guruparampara on the auspicious occasion of Vasant Panchami.
.
We always need the blessings of Maa Saraswati to be at peace and untainted like Her white lotus. Her four hands represent our Antahkaran. The two hands with Veena represent ‘mann’ and ‘buddhi’ which are tuned up to play the divine music, the hand with Japa mala represents annihilation of our ‘ahaṃkāra’ and fourth hand blesses us with ‘chitt shuddhi’. We will get the Grace of Maa Saraswati when we imbibe Her Divine essence and practise according to the guidance given by Maa on the Talks "The Field and the Yield".
Here, Yield is not only the produce but also the very source for the Field. The field is Kshetra, which is the Creation. The source should be divine oriented not ego oriented. It will be a vicious cycle if it is desire oriented. We need to have a sharp intellect to discriminate whether our decision (source) is divine oriented or desire oriented. We should surrender ourselves on the basis of Spirituality (to the Divine).
When we sow Righteousness with proper discriminating power in us, and weed the umwanted, by not paying heed to our lower tendencies (selfish desires) with our proper deeds in a particular speed which make us act as per our need, nutritious spiritual feed to bring up the creed in the right way and play the reed as an available equipment, which is again used as a source to sow good seeds in the Field.
Yield is very important as the Source for the Field to get the yield. Then our life will be with full of joy of Vasant (spring), i.e., full of flowers, beauty, fragrance all around with the blessings of Maa Saraswati.
My heartfelt Dhanyavaad to Manish ji and sincere prostrations to Maa ji who is Goddess Saraswati incarnate!
