On Surati (सुरति)

The word सुरति  (Surati) is used by learned men to mean Sati(सति) or Smriti (स्मृति)  meaning "to have continuous remembrance".

This is one way to love the Indwelling One.

Today I read a post which explains Surati to mean Sruti(श्रुति) meaning "that which is heard".
This may be indicative of the Inner Sound or Speech which is continuously heard.

So we could understand Surati as the Remembrance of the Inner Sound as our path to realising the Self.

Worldly issues and cares do come in the way. But realising firmly that we have no role in the world or its ways except to perform the role assigned to us. Yes we must do our jobs well with constant remembrance of the Self( here Sruti) at all times.

May Sruti bless us All.!!!
