When he realizes this, the Lord takes care of him. The knowledge that one is shEsha and the Lord is shEshi makes a person gnAni. The definition of the self is given by SrI nammAzhvAr in a verse. When this verse came as the subject of KalashEpam, EmpeumAnAr sent SrI KoorathAzhvAn to Sri ThirukOshtiyur Nambi to learn the meaning of the verse,After waiting for several months, when Sri AzhvAn was about to leave, Sri Nambi called him and revealed that the word "adiyEnuLLAn" (ThiruvAimozhi, 8-8-2)is the definition of the self. When one is established in realisation of his self he becomes gnAni as he will be fit for attaining the Lord's abode. dAsan Anbil S.SrInivAsan --- sudarshan madabushi <mksudarshan2002@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > >> Dear friends, >> >> This is in continuation of the 2 parts I posted on >> the >> list a few weeks ago. >> >> ******************* >> >> IN the 18 chapters of the Gita , a variety of >> human "role-models" or "ideal human-being" templates >> are described. >> >> There is the "gnyAni" role-model, for example.
