(Around the beginning of the month, a nugget of Wisdom from the Jagadguru may be posted
on the Chaturamnaya list : http://lists.advaita-vedanta.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/chaturamnaya )
?

Man by nature desires happiness. To achieve this end, he undertakes all?
necessary means and engages in action (karma). His karma will fructify?
only at the appropriate place, period and time. However, he needs to?
understand that Atma-jnana (Knowledge of the Self) is alone permanent,?
and the results of all karma are only transient.?
?
As a result of actions over several lifetimes, he experiences recurring?
cycles of joy and sorrow. The bestower of the results of his actions is not an?
external entity. Rather, the results stem from his own past actions.?

Excess desires and attachment to objects are the causes for all harmful?
consequences. Hence, a wise person will simply experience his prarabdha?
(results from past karma that follow in the present lifetime) and remain in?
the present, unattached to objects but perform the ordained karmas in a?
spirit of surrender to Isvara and strive to earn chitta suddhi (purification of?
the mind) which is essential for the pursuit of Self-knowledge.?
?
If however, he is overcome by Rajasic and Tamasic distortions that affect?
his thinking, he would soon recover to perceive the doshas (defects) in?
objects and without much ado, once again control his mind, steering clear?
of any attachment to objects.?

?
Such a jijnasu (seeker), through devotion to the Lord and the upadesa of?
an enlightened Guru, will strive again for chitta suddhi and progress along?
in the right path towards Moksha or liberation.?
?
Our blessings for all to understand this well and benefit in the fullness?
of time.
