In plain words
But the wealth that is eternal and real is our Jñāna. When we understand what is called ‘Haṃsa’, this Jñāna dawns on us. ‘Jñānādevatu kaivalyam.’
God's will and God's decree alone are the basis of all
Here they said to make your Manas one-pointed at the place between the eyebrows, where iḍā and piṅgaḷā both are. This is just what Mīrā, that supreme devotee, said too! ‘Calore man Gaṅgā Yamunā tīr, calore man,’ she said. She too took this Ājñā-cakra as her basis. When we make our Manas one-pointed on this Ājñā-cakra, the Sahasrāra opens. This Sahasrāra lotus is in the middle of our head. Its presiding deity is ‘Om’. It has a thousand petals. On these thousand petals, too, the combination of the sattva, rajas and tamas guṇas that have arisen in man keeps touching there. Through the feelings of our mind, through the power of those feelings, and through sound waves, these thousand petals open little by little. One moment we are happy. The very next moment anger rises in us. What is the reason for this? We take merely outward actions and sounds to be the ground of it, but that is not the reason. The touching of a part of these petals is the root cause of it. Everything happens by God's decree alone. When they were in the forest, Lakṣmaṇa poured out his grief to his brother, “Brother! Is it not because of this Kaikeyī that You have fallen into these hardships? Mother Sītā, who never knew the sun, lying down on such hard rocks, undergoing these harsh punishments! The root cause of all this is Kaikeyī,” he said. Then Rāma: “Lakṣmaṇa! You are very much mistaken. Kaikeyī is only an instrument. All this had to happen through her; it is God's decree. For hardships, for joys, for sorrows, we must not regard anyone as the doer.
