SUMMARY: By staying within the mind, Lord Hari becomes the mind itself; He gives to the human being three types (trividha), their variants, permutations and combinations, of Satwika, Rajasa and Tamasa, depending upon the individual attitude and aptitude. If the mind is surrendered unto Him, he gives himself unto the devotee; for those who punish the corporal body every day in offering worship, the Lord bequeaths heavens and other celestial comforts.

In the Gita, Lord Krishna mentions “IndriyANAm manashchAsmi” and in Vishnu Purana, it is stated “Mana yEva manuShyANAm kAraNam banDhamOkShayOho”. These statements emphasize that out of the eleven sensory organs, mind is the most powerful and prominent. Lord Hari stays in that mind, monitors it and directs its activities. If one surrenders the mind to the Lord, he will take care of all actions.

“Manavanittare” means if one gives away the mind with interest, affection and devotion, the Lord will become the servant of such a devotee. The instance of Bali Chakravarti is a pointer in this context.

Benefits are proportionate to devotion – instance of Arjuna and Duryodhana/ಫಲವು ಉಪಾಸನೆಯನ್ನವಲಂಬಿಸಿರುತ್ತದೆ – ಅರ್ಜುನ, 20. ದುರ್ಯೋಧನರ ದೃಷ್ಟಾಂತ

SUMMARY: For those who worship well by adoring him as the Sole Deity of the Universe, Lord Sri Hari gives in himself; if one forgets the Dharma or spirituality and just desires to acquire wealth (Artha), Lord Hari, like he did for Indra’s son  Arjuna and Duryodhana, will keep on feeding with those materials, smilingly.

Lord Hari and all his incarnations are called as Paramapurushas. Parama is the ultimate, the supreme and unparalleled. What is needed is that one should believe Lord Hari as the Paramapurusha or the Ultimate God. He surrenders to those who believe him in that sense and surrender to him, without any suspicion, prejudice, desire or bias.

This was displayed by Arjuna and that is why Lord Krishna served him as the charioteer, protected him from all Astras that were shot at him in the Kurukshetra and gave him all the glory. Duryodhana did not do so. He treated Lord Krishna as a person and therefore lost the battle, lost happiness and peace.

The word “SadupAsane” is a conjunction of “Sat+UpAsane”. “Sat” is defined as “Saditi prANaha”. “SadupAsane” means the worship in the manner ordained by Sri Madhwacharyaru, an incarnation of Lord Mukhyaprana. Any worship that does not follow the system or procedure prescribed by Sri Madhwacharyaru is improper.
