Chapter III: Lesson I

# Sanskrit Original Translation by Tridandi Sri Bhakti Prajnan Yati
85. भजनीयेनाद्वितीयमिदं कृत्स्नस्य तत्स्वरूपत्वात्॥ Bhajan or Para-Bhakti is of transcendental Nature identical with God being of His essential Potency viz. Means is the End in Itself.
86. तच्छक्तिर्माया जडसामान्यात्॥ God's external Potency is maya but she is insentient or inert.
87. व्यापकत्वाद्व्याप्यानाम्॥ Due to immanence (or His All-pervasiveness) of God in the universe, all principles are subservient to or superintended by God, therefore nothing can exist beyond His jurisdiction.
88. न प्राणिबुद्धिभ्योऽसम्भवात्॥ This philosophy of Shakti-parinama-vada: the theory of modification of Shakti (Potency) of God cannot be intellectually comprehended.
89. निर्मायोच्चावचं श्रुतीश्च निर्मिमीते पितृवत्॥ Having created the jivas from His Tatastha-shakti (which is superior to His maya of external potency) and the universe through His maya or external Potency (which is inferior to jiva Potency) God created the Vedas.
90. मिश्रोपदेशान्नेति चेन्न स्वल्पत्वात्॥ When the Vedas delineate most ambiguous statements of exoteric and esoteric knowledge, then how do we consider it an act of supreme kindness of God? We should not have such doubt in respect to the most merciful Acts of God because indeed such ambiguous statements are very very few.
91. फलमस्माद्बादरायणो दृष्टत्वात्॥ The vision of Truth is the Prospect of humanity: thus spake Sri Badarayani Sri Vyasadeva.
92. व्युत्क्रमादप्ययस्तथा दृष्टम्॥ Without the Vision of Truth life is undone or one is doomed to destruction.
