Vaakyartha Sathas
Vaakyartha Sadhas is the technical term which refers to debating on the great spiritual scriptures.
Introduction
Vaakyartha Sadhas is encouraged in the Vedic Tradition, to so that one explores the meaning of the sacred truths, internalizes and intranalyzes these great truths of the scriptures again and again.
Active Non-violent Debate
During Vaakyartha Sadhas, you should not be taking a stand just because you took that stand. And, one should move to the different stand only if you are sincerely convinced.
If you are sincerely convinced, you should not have the blockage of ego – ‘No, I already took this stand! How can I change?’ You should be able to change. And you should change only if you are sincerely convinced, not otherwise. That is what is “active non-violent debate”.
Actively Participating During Vaakyartha Sadhas
Not being active is useless. There are some, when debates happen, there will always be twenty people – ‘What is there for me? Let them debate! Finally whatever is the conclusion, I will understand that.’
No! You will never understand the conclusion unless you are actively into that thinking process. Unless you are actively into that thinking process, you cannot catch the truths in the end. You can’t just see the climax of the movie and understand the whole movie and enjoy the movie. No! You need to watch from the beginning to catch the climax.
Traditional Way of Vaakyartha Sadhas
The “Vaakyaartha Sadhas” as per the tradition – is with betel leaf, betel nut, lime paste. That is the traditional way of having the debate.
See the Depth of You with Vaakyartha Sadhas
There are many questions which you will not even verbalize, but they will be sitting inside you in the form of self-doubt. Verbalized doubt gets at least clarification. Unverbalized doubt is self-doubt. Verbalized self-doubt is doubt. When you verbalize it, at least you will get it out. People will catch it! People will get it! You yourself will see the depths of you! As on now, you yourself may not see the depths of you. Only when you sit in the Vaakyaartha Sadhas even you will see your own depth. The depth of you, you will see only when you do Vaakyaartha Sadhas.
Solve Any Problem with Vaakyartha Sadhas
Whether it is interpersonal problem, intrapersonal problem, organizational problem, professional problem, or personal problem, the only way anything can be solved is spiritual solution!
Vaakyaartha Sadhas is the best way for discovering spiritual solution for any problem.
Whatever truths revealed in the morning satsang, sit and start sharing. While you are sharing, if you have doubts, questions, start putting the questions to each other. If answers come out, start debating on it. That’s all!
The more and more Vaakyaartha Sadhas done, the more and more the truth will be revealed to you, and more and more Living Advaitha will happen to you.
Grow new Methods of Cognizing with Vaakyartha Sadhas
When more Vaakyartha Sadhas is done, the thought currents are engaged, and when you entertain with these thought currents you grow a new method of cognizing. A new way of existing, the new way of perceiving, new way of experiencing. That is what is divya sharira, a divine body. With that divine body you perceive, cognize, respond, react, celebrate this whole Universe.
