How is a bhajan similar to journey to vaikuntha?
A bhajan with sruti, taal, steps matching the taal, song matching sruti and taal captures the steps of our journey to vaikuntha says purandara dasa. Like shruti for a bhajan, the starting step in journey to vaikuntha is to go beyond the mundane ocean of existence (with yoga, dhyana, bhakti, gyan, karma, love for others) Like the taal in bhajan , the next step in vaikuntha journey is to join/immerse with the divinity (witnessing inside us)
Basic step, the shruti, is looking beyond the mundane existence (seek bhakti, gyan, love for others). Next, the taal is taking the side of (witnessing) divinity (inside us). This means we no longer dance to the tunes of our mind, the thief inside us. When we join with (witnessing) divinity, we will not follow our mind thief When we cross the mundane ocean of existence, join with divinity, not follow our mind thief, we realize Hari's beauty
When we realize Hari's beauty, we see him as Vithala, our fortune, fortune-giver. Who realizes Hari's beauty, see Hari as our wealth, attains vaikuntha.
To realize Hari's beauty, follow not our mind-thief. To follow not mind-thief, join/immerse in the divinity. To immerse in the divinity, seek Him beyond the mundane ocean of existence
