Guest guest Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Jaya Sri Radhey! Namaste. "puruSaH sa paraH pArtha bhaktyA labhya tv ananyayA, yasyA 'ntaHsthAni bhUtAni yena sarvam idaM tatam" (Bhagavad Gita.8.22) That Supreme Personality of God, O Partha (Arjuna), is attainable by unswerving Love and Devotion to Him alone within Whom all beings dwell, by Whom all this is pervaded. 'Ananya Bhakti' exclusive Divine Love is the outcome of the right understanding of the relationship between the Jivatman (individual spirit soul) and the 'Paramatman (Supreme Universal Soul). They are interrelated in the way in which the sea and the waves are interrelated. The waves do not have any existence independent of the sea. Similarly 'Jivatman' is non existant apart from 'Paramatman'. He who understands this fact cannot help having unswerving devotion to the Lord. When the individuality of the 'Jivatman' is forgotten in the total absorption in the Lord through Divine Love, it is then 'Ananya Bhakti', the unswerving exclusive devotion. Jaya Sri Radhey! <<<< Devotion and love is the one thing that I prize beyond all things, be it from high or low. The ties of such passionate love hold me bound even to the meanest of creatures. Things like leaves or a flower or a fruit are indeed mere tokens and the one single touchstone of the path to reach Me is unalloyed devotion. Therefore, Oh Arjuna, I tell you and you do hear of the very easy and simple way to secure it. Make your mind pure and fasten it on Me unceasingly. >>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
