Pranam to Parampoojya Parameshwar Sadguru Swami Anilji Maharaj
Shatpanchashika Stotra
(Translation of the discourse in Hindi by Parampoojya Swami Anilji Maharaj)
From next Shloka Saraswati Maharaj depicts Original Principles of Adhyatm.
“Rochate suviraktasya n sansarikpungdkatha l Yatha pittajvarartasya surasannadisatkatha ll5ll”
Swami Anilji Maharaj says
Saraswati Maharaj depicted panegyric for devotion towards God Shri Dattatreya, God Shri Prabhu Ramachandra and Tales of God. Maharaj reveals that these means of devotion saves from worldly sufferings and miseries.
Maharaj said the Devotion to Lord Datta has been depicted as the yacht for crossing the waters of the worldly life and takes safely towards the shore.
The question is can crossing of this worldly ocean can be done remaining attached to the life? Can I have
joy of swimming in worldly waters and also wish to cross to shore.
When I was serving a Siddha (having supernatural powers) Mahatma, he once revealed secrets iregarding devotion to the Lord Datta. He said, devotion to Lord Datta is like befriending son for the quest of father. This is the special aspect relating to the Devotion to Lord Datta. This is the sacred cognition. With this understanding unique joy dawns up on us.
Rishi ‘Atri’ or Atreya is father of Bhagwan Dattatreya. No worship or prayer is undertaken for Rishi Atri, because Rishi Atri is beyond Gunas. Satva, Raj, Tam, these Guna can not touch Rishi Atri. That means Rishi Atri devoid of Gunas, is Nirgun and is formless. Atri can be reached by Dhnyan alone. Atri is not body or Symbol, therefore Rishi Atri can not be worshiped by saying words of prayer, devotion, or offering flowers and fruits.
However benevolently Celestial Son of Rishi Atri and Mata Anusaya God Dattatreya is the incarnation with body. Bhagwan Dattatreya therefore can be worshiped, with prayers, flowers, fruits etc.
Worship of Bhagwan Dattatreya and selfless service with full surrender to Sadguru reveals the essence between the Devotion of the God with Name and Form (God Dattatreya) and devotion of the Nameless and Formless Paramatma, Rishi Atri. Thus devotees of Bhagwan Dattatreya, reach to the path of searching Paramatma that is Rishi Atri. In this process the devotees beget Atma Anatma Vivek by benevolence of Sadguru, which is the first step of Adhyatm.
At this stage Devotion to Bhagwan Datta does not remain merely for material gains but gets transformed into the Supreme Quest of Brahm. This is the special aspect of devotion to God Datta.
During the practice devotional state starts transforming to Seeker state. In the process along with rationalised discretion, detachment also sets in.
This indifference gets firmed up to the extent that the matters at home are do not remain primary. There is no joy in house hold matters.
Saraswati Maharaj says, There is great aversion for the patient suffering from jaundice towards the description of tasty, delicious foods, same aversion towards house hold matters, towards family matters, towards whole world routine; sets up as a result of the detachment generated by continuous devotion to God Datta.
