Commentary on the Forenoon Discourse

156. In the tenth, regarding "a good constellation" and so on: on whatever day the three states of good conduct are fulfilled, that day is called one that has obtained a conjunction of the planets; because of that, it is said that for him it is always called "a good constellation." That very day is called one on which a blessing has been made; because of that, it is said that for him it is always "a good blessing." His daybreak too is always a good daybreak indeed, his rising from bed too is a good rising indeed, his moment too is a good moment indeed, his instant too is a good instant indeed. And here, a period of time the measure of ten finger-snaps is called a moment; a period of time of ten such moments is called an instant; a period of time of ten such instants is called a moment-instant; ten times that is called a second; ten times that is called a moment-second - this classification should be known. "Well-sacrificed among the practitioners of the holy life" means on whatever day the three kinds of good conduct are fulfilled, then a gift given to those of the foremost conduct is called well-sacrificed. "Auspicious is bodily action" means the bodily action performed by him on that day is called bodily action of growth. The same method applies to the remaining terms as well. "Having done auspicious deeds" means having done bodily action and so on connected with growth. "They obtain auspicious benefits" means one obtains only auspicious benefits of growth. The remainder is clear in itself.

The Chapter on Blessings is fifth.

The third fifty is finished.
