Dasakam: 02 Shlokam: 08
निष्कामं नियतस्वधर्मचरणं यत् कर्मयोगाभिधं
तद्दूरेत्यफलं यदौपनिषदज्ञानोपलभ्यं पुन: ।
तत्त्वव्यक्ततया सुदुर्गमतरं चित्तस्य तस्माद्विभो
त्वत्प्रेमात्मकभक्तिरेव सततं स्वादीयसी श्रेयसी ॥८॥
niShkaamaM niyatasvadharmacharaNaM yat karmayOgaabhidhaM
tadduuretyaphalaM yadaupaniShadaj~naanOpalabhyaM punaH |
tattvavyaktatayaa sudurgamataraM chittasya tasmaadvibhO
tvatpremaatmakabhaktireva satataM svaadiiyasii shreyasii ||
Oh Guruvayurappa! The path of Karma yoga which consists of performing one's duties needs to be practiced for a long time. The path of Gyaana yoga which consists of knowing the Brahman, as explained in the Upanishads, is very difficult for the mind yields results only in the distant future. O Lord! Bhakti yoga which is of the nature of pure love to Thee.So it is the sweetest and the noblest and hence most beneficial and more satisfying to our minds.
