'What is the best of all faculties of knowledge available to the human being?'; if one has got a question, the best answer is, It is that knowledge which leads to 'Self Realization'. It is a point of no return once again into the cycle of births and deaths, by becoming one with the 'Consciousness' !
People desirous of achieving salvation resort to various rites and rituals among which performance of Yagna is one which is rather expensive from the point of items to be procured and payments to the conducting pandits. Annamacharya compares the best of all, 'Jnana Yajna' with the procedure followed in a regular 'yaga' in his sankeertana, "Adigaka Nijamatam Badigaka Yajakam".....
'Apart from the pure spiritual knowledge is there any better religion? Is there better Yajna? Is there better happiness in heart (hrudayananda)? Is there any other better realization?
'Vijnana Maha Dhwara' - The Yajna of pure spiritual knowledge may be compared thus. Initially the sacrificial cow called 'sankalpa' (determined resolution - for Atma Jnana) is arranged for. It is sacrificed on the altar of 'Jnana Ananda' (spiritual bliss). Then all the 'purified senses' are offered into the 'Jnana Agni' (the sacrificial fire).
'Dispassion' acts as the majestic performer of yaga; 'Righteousness' plays the role of Brahma; All the noble traits and conduct of obeisance like 'sama', 'dama','daana', 'dhairya' are the performing (chanting vedic mantras) brahmins;
'Meditating on the Almighty is the holy water 'Soma Rasa' to the Yajna performing beings. Drenching oneself in the ocean of 'divine grace', is the required conclusive holy bath at the end of yaga - 'avabrutha snana' !'........
The striking point in this comparative performances of physical yajna and spiritual yajna is the 'Expense' involved! Is it not clear by now that it requires absolutely nothing cost wise to perform this 'Vijnana Maha Dhwara' ! Being righteous at heart, one can comprehend all the noble traits leading to Self Realization!
