Shloka : 7

एकागेणैव मनसा पत्रीलेख: सहेतुक: ।

अवधार्योऽयमखिलै: सर्वजीवहितावह: ॥ 7 ॥

અને આ શિક્ષાપત્રી લખ્યાનું જે કારણ છે, તે સર્વે તેમણે એકાગ્ર મનવડે કરીને ધારવું અને આ શિક્ષાપત્રી જે અમે લખી છે તે સર્વના જીવને હિતની કરનારી છે. ॥ 7 ॥

And one must contemplate in their heart solely, the purpose of writing this Shikshapatri; and this Shikshapatri, written by Me, is for the welfare of all the living souls. || 7 ||

Commentary

The Shikshapatri has dual meanings: direct and indirect. Here, indirect meaning is a general concept which is beneficial to all the people and direct meaning, which has a special or advanced concept, which is for the absolute devotees. So, whoever studies and contemplates the Shikshapatri with clear mind and who is in close contact with the God-realized absolute devotees of Shri Harikrishna Maharaj, he can only understand the appropriate cause of writing the Shikshapatri, others cannot.

And one should contemplate the instructions of the Shikshapatri with single-pointed concentration, i.e. with the clear state of mind. If the instructions are studied when the attention is diverted towards other objects i.e. with confused state of mind, it is as good as not studying at all. Moreover, it is rare to achieve the single-pointed concentration. Therefore, Shri Hari has emphasized that the instructions of the Shikshapatri should be studied with sharp concentration.
