PRABHAT SAMGIITA #2425
"Vira't' toma'r bha'vana'y jato ks'udrata' bhese ja'y..." (PS 2425)
Purport:
O' Vira't*, O' Parama Purusa, You are so vast and great. By Your ideation, all the lowly feelings of meanness and narrowness get blown away - they vanish entirely.
O' my Lord, with just a wee-bit of Your divine grace, the tiny, meagre drop of water becomes one with the vast, infinite ocean. By Your grace the unit becomes one with the Cosmic; the individual I-feeling becomes vast and ultimately becomes one with You. Baba, by ideating on You, the unit becomes You; and You are the Goal.
O' Parama Purusa Baba, by thinking about You and chanting Your name - by involving in Your practices like asana, pranayama, dharana and dhyana - then one ordinary human being can reach unto You.
Baba, Your ideation & Your grace is everything...
NOTE FOR PRABHAT SAMGIITA #2425:
* Vira't: This is one of the innumerable names and attributions of Parama Purusa. And according to Ananda Marga philosophy vira't means something very vast - infinite. Thus the term vira't reflects His Supreme Greatness and Glory.
"Parama Purus'a is very great, very very great. When the greatness becomes immeasurable, unfathomable, it is called vira't in Sam'skrta." (PNS-17, The Significance of Language)
Note: In common spoken Bengali, the use of the term vira't is improper - they corrupted the word. Because in everyday Bengali speech, they use this term vira't to represent ordinary, finite, measurable things like trees or buildings. So this is the wrong use of the term vira't. And Baba condemns this. Thus, the common Bengali use of the term vira't goes against Ananda Marga ideology.
