Viveka

Quite the opposite of Lakshmi.

Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge, of Vidya, of learning and learning not for the sake of holding more information or to boost ego but learning for discernment, learning for true Viveka, learning that actually helps you to remove illusion and to transcend higher.

If what you learn is not taking you closer to that final truth, then what is the point? Every goddess that I bring up has very clear iconography.

There are certain symbolisms.

We worship Him as Sulabha Prasannaya Namah.

It is easy to please Him and it would really be a pity if we don't even make that attempt, isn't it? And in that attempt, Swami says, Viveka, Vairagya and all of that will be conferred on you.

I think that is the beautiful conclusion that Swami is drawing us all to.

be it in this discourse or in general through his message.

action.

Viveka.

Discrimination, he knows the goal.

Vairagya is the recognition

Raga dvesha is the bhava.

It is, you know, I call it as a heart problem than a head problem.

Viveka is of the head that buddhi has more to do with it while vairagya has to do with the heart.

This dimension of bhavasuddhi, you know, vairagya has been told by Krishna but it is far more deeper to solve dhyana sattva shuddhi.

Eighteen also.

So atma, anatma, viveka, vidya.

So here on vikshaki he says that it is the vidya which teaches you what is atma and what is anatma.

The distinction between matter and spirit.

The eternal solution can happen only when the mind is controlled by the intellect.

With the faculty of discrimination, viveka, and determination of nishchaya, the mi- the intellect discriminates the atman's nature from anatman's nature, atman, atman, viveka.

It determines that the atman is the only genuine object in, of orientation, nishchaya.

Because in the search for eternity and infinity, the mind or the, the, in, has never been able to achieve that, that state of eternity and infinity.

And the core tool has a name.

Viveka.

Discrimination.

Let me show you exactly what it does, with the wave that has appeared in this room all term.

And in that instant, the wave and the eye are glued together, and the gluing deepens the groove.

And tomorrow, the same voice triggers it a little faster.

Now, the same moment with Viveka.

The irritation rises, and instead you ask precisely, this is a wave passing through awareness.
