विवेक (Viveka) - Discernment, as taught by Brahmleen Samvit Somgiri Ji Maharaj, is a crucial aspect of spiritual growth. It refers to the ability to differentiate between the real and the unreal, the eternal and the transient, and the morally right and wrong actions. This discernment allows individuals to make choices that align with their spiritual goals and adhere to the principles of Dharma.

विवेकबोधं सम्प्राप्य धर्माधर्मविचक्षणः।

सम्वित्सोमगिरेर्वचः सततं साधयेच्चित्तम्॥

Vivekabodhaṁ samprāpya dharmādharmavicakṣaṇaḥ |

Samvitsomagirervacaḥ satataṁ sādhayecchittam ||

(Through the wisdom of discernment, as taught by Śrī Samvit Somgiri, one becomes skilled in distinguishing between Dharma and Adharma, and continually refines their mind.)

Various conceptswithin Viveka, as per the teachings of Samvit Somgiri Ji Maharaj, include:

श्रेयः-प्रेयः-विवेक (Śreyaḥ-Preyaḥ-Viveka): The ability to differentiate between what is truly beneficial (Śreyaḥ) and what is immediately pleasurable (Preyaḥ), allowing one to make choices that lead to long-term well-being and spiritual growth.

नित्य-अनित्य-वस्तु-विवेक (Nitya-Anitya-Vastu-Viveka): The discernment to distinguish between the eternal (Nitya) and the transient (Anitya), which helps individuals to focus on the timeless spiritual essence rather than the fleeting material world.

आत्म-अनात्म-विवेचन (Ātma-Anātma-Vivecana): Understanding the difference between the true Self (Ātma) and the non-self (Anātma) – the body, mind, and ego – enables one to recognize their true nature and detach from false identifications.

 The capacity to distinguish between righteous (Dharma) and unrighteous (Adharma) actions, ensuring that one's choices are aligned with moral principles and spiritual growth.

सत्संग-दुःसंग-विवेक (Satsaṅga-Duḥsaṅga-Viveka): Discerning between beneficial association (Satsaṅga) and harmful association (Duḥsaṅga), allowing individuals to surround themselves with positive influences that support their spiritual journey.

बुद्धिनिश्चय (Buddhiniścaya): Cultivating a firm and clear intellect that is capable of making wise decisions in alignment with one's spiritual goals and values.

By developing these aspects of Viveka, individuals can progress on the path of spiritual growth as guided by Brahmleen Samvit Somgiri Ji Maharaj. Cultivating discernment helps seekers make informed choices, ensuring that their actions align with the principles of Dharma and contribute to their spiritual well-being.

विवेकज्ञानवर्धितैः साधकैः सम्प्रयुज्यते।

सम्वित्सोमगिरेर्मार्गः परमानन्ददायकः॥

Vivekajñānavardhitaiḥ sādhakaiḥ samprayujyate |

Samvitsomagirermārgaḥ paramānandadāyakaḥ ||

(Endowed with the knowledge of discernment, seekers follow the path of Samvit Somgiri, which bestows supreme bliss.)
