Dasakam 15 - Kapila Geethai
Kardamar left to forest embracing sanyasa ashram when Kapila attained the age of 5. Before leaving, Kardamar, knowing that Kapila is Lord himself, offered salutations to him and requested that he bestow his grace and teach his Mother Devahuti, the greatness and importance of Bhakthi and show her the path to salvation.
Devahuti asked Kapila the reason for rebirth. He replied that the attachment to material benefits and relationships are the reason for people to be born again and again in this world. The human mind must get detached from material objects and devotion to Lord must be their only goal. Serving great people aids in increasing the devotion and such things are possible only in this world. Such devotion only can give Mukthi or salvation.
Kapila explained the twenty-five basic principles governing human existence in this world through the moolaprakruthi tree. Prakriti or Primordial Nature, Mahat-tatva or the great Spirit, Ahankaara namely the " I" sense, the five Tanmaatraas namely sound, smell, touch, form, taste, the five Bhootaas or subtle elements denoted by space,air,fire, water, earth, Antahkarana (mind and its various modes), the ten Indriyaas which are Organs, five of knowledge-hearing, seeing, touch, taste smell, and five of action-speech,hands,legs,anus,genitals), and Purush (Atman), these are the twenty-five principles. When one understands the difference and significance of each of this, he/she will be liberated.
Attraction to Prakruthi or nature will make man get influenced by it, instead if he worships Lord always, he gets to understand the Lord's nature and actions. After having controlled one's senses, if meditated upon the Lord who is decked with divine jewels and weapons seated on Garuda and sing his glory, one can conquer death.
Earning and acquiring wealth by unfair means, attachment to children and other worldly possessions without devotion to Lord leads to sufferings at hell. The Jeeva on entering the mother's womb remembers the association with Lord until it is born. The minute it falls in to the world, the child forgets the association, suffers through childhood, attains youth and again get infatuated by the materialistic life.
A righteous person performing poojas to Devathas and Pithrus go to heaven and and attain birth again after enjoying the fruits of his meritorious deeds. Those who perform the same, dedicating the fruits of deeds to Lord himself and expect no result and always stay devoted to Lord will eventually attain salvation.
Following the advice of Kapila, Mother Devahuti was liberated from worldly attachments and attained salvation. Lord Kapila left with group of sanyasis in the North east direction and stays there even now for the good of the people.
Declaring once again that firm devotion to Lord will alleviate all fears and sufferings, Bhattathiri requested Lord to cure his afflictions. Lord nodded his head and acknowledged his request immediately.
