Manache Shlok grantha written by Sant Samartha Ramdas Swami.
Shlok #002
This shlok is a gentle advice to the mind.
Devotion is not a ritual imposed from outside, but a natural alignment with truth.
The counsel is simple—leave behind what diminishes you, honor what uplifts you. In this way, the mind becomes a pilgrim whose journey is guided by reverence.
Advice is given to the Mind
- Walk steadily on the path of devotion, not as duty but as nature.
- Leave behind blameworthy habits—anger, greed, envy, falsehood.
- Honor what is noble—truth, compassion, reverence, humility.
- Remember: devotion is not escape, but alignment with the highest self.
- The mind’s dignity lies in discernment—choosing reverence over neglect.
“The mind is a pilgrim—its steps are choices, its destination is reverence.”
