Is there a refill to wash the ignorance of the writer and refill with a
good Golden heart?
Soundarya Lahari Sloka -3

Avidyanam antas-timira-mihira-dweeppa-nagari
Jadanam chaitanya-stabaka-makaranda-sruti jhari
Daridranam cinta-mani-gunanika janma-jaladhau
Nimadhanam damshtra mura-ripu-varahasya bhavati.

Avidyaanaam – For ignorant people
Antas-timira - for the darkness inside
which is due to ignorance
mihira dweepanagaree - is the town of sun’s rising place

[avidyaanaam – the ignorant are not ready to reconcile for anything, they
are not open minded; these people fall in group -1].

Jadaanaam - for people like caarvaakaas
caitanya-stabaka-makaranda srutijharee
- flow of honey flowing from the fruit
- stem with fruits made of makaranda or
caitanya

[jadaanaam – Caarvaakaas, those, who have full faith in modern science, but
no faith in Vedanta philosophy – they fall in group - 2].

the problem with many is that their intellect or buddhi has developed too
much [extrovert], but the heart is not developed;
Hanuman Calisa – a very popular sloka sung by the great poet Tulasidas,
says –
buddhi heena tanu jaanike, sumirau pavana kumara
bala buddhi viddhyaa dehu mohi harahu kalesa vikaara
meaning – budhdhi, intellect without intellectual conviction, is heena –
destructive, hence to get rid of it, remember Pavana kumara or [Sri Rama
Bhakta] Hanuman to get blessings of Lord Sri Ramacandra murthy – the pure
consciousness in our heart of hearts, who will give Bala, Buddhi, Viddhya,
who ever wants to get any of these.
a tamil song goes like this –
tuni velukka mannundu engal muthumari
manam velukka vazhiyillaiye engal muthumari
Even in spite of possessing the capability to analyze the mind properly,
these people keep their minds shut, but will get the chance to open it by
the Advaita Makaranda by the Grace of Goddess when they become deserved, in
due course
of time. REFILL IF THERE IS ONE PLEASE SEND TO THREE PERSONS STILL IN THE
FORM OF HUMAN KR IRS 23224
