Chapter – 138 – The legend
of Parashurama-2
The state of
renunciation 'Kaivalya' can be achieved with the supreme wisdom and knowledge, development
in any field is possible through performing duties and responsibilities /Karma,
and with the supreme wisdom and knowledge as well. Any development of duty-bound
would face the constant threat of destruction.
Kaivalya can be attained only with supreme wisdom, association with the
saintly men, meditation, reading scriptures,
recitation of sacred names of Lord, and the constant remembrance of Lord with the knowledge about the mind and intellect
that are originated from the supreme soul, and therefore it should merge with
the supreme Lord who has all-pervading blissful nature, it is changeless, and
has neither beginning nor end. The lack of knowledge of the Supreme Lord who resides as a soul would cause the soul to hold on to
the worldly matters, eventually transform the souls as selfish, finds immense pleasure
in conflicts, wickedness, cruelty, mercilessness, jealousy, pride,
etc… The ultimate object of the incarnation of Lord Vishnu as Parashurama
was put an end to the wicked Kshatriyas who were immersed in the material
world. Further, Bhargavarama reinstated
the glories of twice-born who are well versed in Vedic culture and the
knowledge of supreme Bhramam. Hence,
Karma/duties and responsibilities followed with the wisdom are considered as
supreme, any Karma without the knowledge of the nature of the Supreme Lord is
worthless. The human intellect and mind
is too complex, it is completely under the influence of Maya/ illusion, it gets easily attracted to the pleasure in the material world, outward appearances, senses, and objects,
without the knowledge that all those material pleasures are short living
nature, therefore it keeps searching for numerous ways to please the senses and
its journey goes on and on by taking several births. Therefore a multifaceted mind and intellect
can be put into practice of the permanent nature of the supreme Lord who is bliss;
this is possible only through wisdom/Vedanta Vignana, association with the
ascetics and saintly people.
