Nityā

This chapter opens on the Daśamī tithi — the day of Nityā, the Eternal Herself. The tenth verse is a radical statement: may we receive the fulfillment of desire, the truth of speech, the nourishment of food. May Śrī and fame take up dwelling in me. Nityā teaches that prosperity is not a destination but a ground state — that the practice is not to acquire abundance but to recognize and inhabit the abundance already present. Performance-chasing is the shadow of this tithi: comparing oneself to benchmarks rather than returning to the source.
