Gita Jyothi week No.32 Sloka (Part #5)

[Guest guest]

Sri Krishna Parabrahmane Namaha!

 

[This is the translation of Gita Jyothi Week No.32 {last week's} Sloka graced by

our Sri Sri Sri Jeeyar Swami in Bhakthi Nivedana]

 

If we like a person, we love him however he is! If that person is deserving to

be loved, beautiful and also we are fond of him, then the thought of him gives

us joy. It is not that we feel happy only when we go to him. The mere thought

of going to him itself gives us delight.

 

Pondering on SriKrishna gives ‘a:nanda’. “ Heh! You just do it and see!Whenever

your manas and buddhi hook onto Me you will join ME and dwell in Me. No need be

skeptical about it.” Conveying this He says ‘nivaSishyasi mayi, na samSaya’.

 

‘nivaSisyashi mayye:va’ – you dwell in Me alone; ‘atha u:rdhvam na samSayaha’ –

There is nothing else above this and you need not have any doubt -- Some people

attribute the meaning like this. But it is not the correct one. Then how it

should be interpreted! Like this: ‘atha u:rthvam eva nivaSishyasi mayi na

samSayaha’. ( Should be joined in this format ) -

‘mayi buddhim niveSaya’ ‘keep your buddhi in Me with belief’; “atha u:rdhvam

ae:va” ‘only after that’ ; “mayi nivaSishyasi” ‘you would be able to dwell in

Me definitely’ means ‘you will take Me into your manas’. I will have ‘you’ in My

mind. But He also said ‘buddhim mayi nive:Saya’! You also keep your buddhi in Me

with belief. If you can keep it hooked like that, it is enough. Then it’s like

you are in Me only! Once you are in Me, I won’t allow you to drift away. (Here

Me or I refer to Lord Krishna )
