Bhaja Govindam: Awakening the Sleeping Mind
Let's delve into a substantial commentary that ties together the first three ślokas of Bhaja Govindam and shows their interlinked wisdom in a broader philosophical context. Let's break it down carefully.
Adi Śaṅkarācārya's Bhaja Govindam is a succinct yet profound treatise on human folly, worldly attachment, and the path to liberation (moksha). The first three ślokas serve as a triad of awakening, addressing the three dimensions of human ignorance: intellectual pride, material greed, and sensual desire. Together, they form a cohesive framework for spiritual guidance.
