Decad:5 Sub-decad:3 Abandoning the sense of discrimination Abstract: This sub-decad as the title indicates is to abandon the sense of discrimination of God Who bestows His grace and the soul that is blessed to receive His grace. 軒 The saint recollects the gracious nature of God in these verses: “For the sake of You Who entering and abiding in me who am steeped in Karma and as if You would say, “Come I am the Destroyer of Karma” and announced Yourself as “I am so and so" and enslaved me, I do not sing or dance and I do not waii” (22) “Oh! unique Flame coloured like a very forest of red-lotuses!
