A powerful Hymn from the Rig Veda.
"AUM AVRIKEY
KSHESHYANTA"
Avrikey means the man who is
above malice, lie, falsehood, or treachery. In other words the person who is
plain truthful simple straight and pure, in his thoughts and action is avrikey.
He is a person who is without any unnatural and unnecessary turns or twists in
his thinking and conduct.
Ksheshyanta means God always
resides or stays in the heart of such a man who is Avrikey.
A man comes alone into this
world when he leaves this earthly existence again he exists alone. However when
God is with him he enjoys all the benefits of being in the majority even if he
is secluded in this world or the next. Only a wakeful modest resolute
consistent determined truthful seeker can achieve the status of being Avrikey.
He should strive to be tolerant like a tree, humbler than dust, for this will
help him to attune his conduct perfected with practice of forgiveness,(The
Popes message this year was to inculcate forgiveness so apt). politeness,
forbearance, patience and restraint are prerequisite to become Avrikey. There
should be no disagreement within and without in thought speach or action.
Accumulation and assimilation of these virtues takes a devotee in the fast
track to liberation. The vedas so full of insight say "Prehi prehi
pathebhi purvaybhi" O! incessant traveller you may tread the worldly path
with the help of eternal truth.
As an avrikey the evolved
person will savor the import of the sweet and powerful Vedic
hymn.
