| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
O Lord of Bhavani! I attain to similarity of form with Thee by performing Thy ritualistic worship; to closeness with Thee by singing Thy praise; to residence in Thy heavenly plane by associating and conversing with Thy noble devotees; and to oneness with Thee by contemplating on Thy form constituted of the whole of this living and non-living world. Thus in this very embodiment I shall attain life's fulfilment.
(The four levels in the attainment of the Lord are referred to here. These are in the order stated above as sarupya, samipya, salokya and sayujya, the means also for those respective attainments are mentioned here.) |
