Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Chapter 7 Verse 18 Udaaraah sarva ev'aite jnaabee tv aatm'aiva me matam / aasthitah sa hi yukt'aatmaa maam ev'aanuttamaa.n gatim // Noble indeed are they all, but the wise man, I regard as My very Self; for, with the mind steadfast he is established in Me alone as the Supreme goal. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 73 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji "Noble indeed are they all, but the wise man, I regard as My very Self; for, with the mind steadfast he is established in Me alone as the Supreme goal." Noble indeed are all those who worship the Lord, even with the object of securing their own ends. Whatever may be the reason, they have chosen to worship the Lord and so they are good. But the wise man’s devotion claims the Lord alone and nothing else, and so he is most dear to the Lord. For the wise man, the Lord alone is the highest goal. Others seek different things - either material prosperity or removal of their diseases or acquisition of knowledge. But the wise man is different. He does not worship the Lord with any selfish motive. He worships the Lord because to him, there is nothing in the universe worth loving except the Lord. The Lord considers such a devotee as His very Self. Mail Plus – Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
