Right Mood To Study Scriptures
- Difference between reading a book and shastra. Book just stops at reading, but shastra goes beyond that
- Shravanam - Read
- Manananam - Meditation
- Nidhidhyasanam – Meditate for prolonged period and realize
- Shabda Vapu of the Lord – Word form Deity
- Brahma Sutra - 1.1.3
- śāstrayonitvāt—The scripture being the means of right knowledge.
- yoni means womb –Lord appears(we perceive) through scriptures
- Vidya vivadyaya dhanam madaya
- vidyA vivAdAya dhanaM madAya shaktiH pareshhAM para-pIDanAya | khalasya sAdhor-viparItam-etat jnAnAya dAnAya ca rakShaNAya ||
- For the wicked, knowledge is for arguments, wealth is for arrogance, and power is for tormenting others; for the virtuous, they are just for the opposite: wisdom, charity and protection.
- Main purpose of shastra is to cut our doubts to pieces
