O, Partha, to that ever devout Yogi, who constantly

remembers Me without thinking of anything else, I am

easy of attainment.

 

LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 80

As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji

 

Those who cannot practice this Yoga can resort to some

other Yoga, especially that of repeated thinking of

the Lord. They have to constantly think of the Supreme

Being. Therefore the Lord says:

 

"O, Partha, to that ever devout Yogi, who constantly

remembers Me without thinking of anything else, I am

easy of attainment" (Chapter 8, Verse 14).

 

The Yogi whose mind is one-pointed and who constantly

thinks of the Lord will surely attain to the highest

state of the Lord. But unless a man dedicates himself

totally to the Lord, he would not be able to

constantly think of the Lord without thinking of

anything else. For a man of dedication, there is

nothing else to remember except the Lord. He has

reached a stage where he does not think of anything

else or anyone else except the Lord. He is sure that,

except the Lord, everything else is unworthy of

remembering. Whatever such a man does would result in

the worship of the Lord. The man whose mind has become

free from the thought of anything else is called

‘ananyachetah’. He who has become ‘ananyachetah’ alone

can remember the Lord always and without interruption.

Such a man is a ‘Nitya Yukta Yogi’, a Yogi whose mind

is ever in association with the Lord. As such he

easily attains the Lord.
