======================================================================== ======================================================================== 23/12/2019. Mantram-1. 6. ======================================================================= Mantram-1. "Om isavasyam idagm sarvam yat-kinca jagatyam jagat, tena tyaktena bhunjitha ma gradhah kasya svid dhanam." ======================================================================= 6.1 Through tyaga, tena tyaktena, by giving up the objects of the world, be happy with what has been earned by the sweat of your brow. Do your duty as an offering to God. Let your mind dwell upon God and God alone. Let your thoughts run ever and always towards God. Realising isvara you can obtain ananda, also the whole world, the universe itself. Why then run meaninglessly after petty objects saying “Oh! here is joy, there is joy, this object can bring me happiness, that other can”, and so on and so forth? Isvara is parama sa
