In Moraribapu Gita, Krishna said, O Arjuna, 'Gita' is my heart, meaning 'Gita' is me. and 'Rachi Mahes Nij Manas Rakha.' Shankar says, 'Manas' is my heart; So the heart is Mahadev. Who is Ganga now? Who is Trilochan of 'Manas'-Mahadev? Who is next to it? Who is Bhujang? It has to be calculated. Shiva form is 'Manas'. Shankar created 'Manas' and did not keep it in the intellect, in time he opened his heart to Parvati and did not open the book, he opened the mind. What is Shankar's Jata of 'Manas'? What is the Ganga? What is Vakrachandra? Who is Trilochan? 'Manas' is Mahadeva, Avadhuta; This is Avadhuti Shastra. So Ganges emerges from Shankar's Jata. Mahadev's Ganga in the form of 'Manas' is the endless flowing stream of 'Ramacharitmanas'. Slowly the choppais keep flowing. Dancing Chopais, Dancing Chopais. Every chopai dances for me. I think so. So Chopai is the Ganga of Mahadev in the form of 'Manas'. Soratha is the trinity of Lord Shiva. What comes in between in 'Manas' is Soratha Tripund. I have added Trilochan to it. Truth, love, compassion are the three eyes of Mahadev. Truth is the right eye. Love is in the middle and compassion is the left eye. Truth is the sun; Love is fire. 'Vande Surya Shashankavahninayan.' Discussing the eyes, the Sanskrit Mahatmas say, O Trilochana, one of your eyes is the sun; Second eye is fire and third is moon. Right eye is truth. The left eye is compassion. It is the moon. The fiery element in between is love. So Shiva's trilochans are – Truth, Love, Compassion. Love is in the middle; It is a fire eye. 'The Flame of Love'. Prempanth is the flame of passion. Choppais, Sorathas and Shlokas are not as difficult and difficult as the doha of 'Manas'. This Doha is Shankar's Jata. There is so much strength in Doha that if it is understood, it will be understood and if it is not understood, Ph. d. Can't even understand what happened! Because it has to be fully milked. Sometimes doha is understood when the seeker becomes completely self-absorbed, completely removes his own squeeze. That is Mahadev's Jatajut. Doha is complicated. Some Dohas are extremely difficult. Bharat Ram ki Milni Lakhi Bisare Sabhi Apan. This is the doho of the occasion when Bharat and Ram met in Chitrakoot. Apana is a gas. Ram-Bharat are meeting, when Apan leaves. Apana means self. Everything went by itself; No one knows who we are? where are we Seeing the love of the two brothers, Apan himself left. When it comes to Apana Vayu, the whole yoga-process has come. Forgetfulness of Apana is the pace of gradual development of Yoga Sadhana. It is said to awaken the Kundalini. So Doha is Jata. Soratha is tripund. Chopai is the ever-flowing Gangadhara. A full moon has a taint. The moon in Shiva's spear is spotless. Bhalachandra is a Sanskrit verse of 'Manas'. You cannot say that there is a mistake in it. It is a seed moon, and the glory of a seed moon is that it has the potential to grow; There is no decay in it. Not reaching Purnima, otherwise Ksyapaksha starts. So the verse is Chandrabimba. The verses of 'Manas' are moonbeams. Sphuranmouli Kallolini Charu Ganga. Lasadbhalbalendu Kanthe Bhujanga. The verse is bhujang. The bhujang in Shankar's neck has not bitten anyone. Tulsi has written beautiful verses. Even in that, the more your skill, understanding, knowledge, the better you can sing. You can sing in classical, you can sing in sugam; Folklore is at the root. Wherever it comes to Sanskrit, you can sing in classical. So the verse is 'Manas' – Mahadev's seed moon. Trilochan, Tripund, Gangadhara. Those who have taken shelter of the 'Manas' without desire and indifference, are saved from their tribulations, because 'Trayah Shul Nirmulan Shulpani'. Trishul is not Shiva's weapon. Whatever comes in the stories may come, but if you ask Tulsi, she will say that 'Trayahshul Nirmulnan' destroys three types of heat. It is the Trishul that destroys the trident. If there is a great element that enhances the beauty of Shankar, it is poison. 'Neelkanth Dayalan.' So what is the poison of Shankar in the form of 'Manas'? If we look at the life of Tulsi, it is seen that there have been many strange situations in Tulsi's life as well. Mahadev himself has gone through many strange situations which we cannot count. Shankar is one who takes the poison of the strange situation in life. If you let the strange situation in, your stomach will burst; You will be sad; If you do Vamana, sensitive people will be saddened to hear your description of misery and strange situation. Therefore, the poison can neither be injected into the stomach nor can the poison be vomited. Shankara taught that poison should be held in the throat. Strange situations in life are poison. This piece is by Pandit Ramkinkarji. In the life of the seeker, in the life of the wise, whatever strange situations arise, the poison has to be drunk; It has to beautify the voice. They have to drink their own unique situation. So that is 'Manas' – the Neelima of Mahadev's Nilakantha. (Compilation : Nitin Vadgama)
