Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 BHAGAVAD-GITA 12:2 sri-bhagavan uvaca mayy avesya mano ye mam nitya-yukta upasate sraddhaya parayopetas te me yuktatama matah WORD FOR WORD sri-bhagavan uvaca--the Supreme Personality of Godhead said; mayi--upon Me; avesya--fixing; manah--the mind; ye--those who; mam--Me; nitya--always; yuktah--engaged; upasate--worship; sraddhaya--with faith; paraya--transcendental; upetah--endowed; te--they; me--by Me; yukta-tamah--most perfect in yoga; matah--are considered. TRANSLATION The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Those who fix their minds on My personal form and are always engaged in worshiping Me with great and transcendental faith are considered by Me to be most perfect. PURPORT In answer to Arjuna's question, Krsna clearly says that he who concentrates upon His personal form and who worships Him with faith and devotion is to be considered most perfect in yoga. For one in such Krsna consciousness there are no material activities, because everything is done for Krsna. A pure devotee is constantly engaged. Sometimes he chants, sometimes he hears or reads books about Krsna, or sometimes he cooks prasadam or goes to the marketplace to purchase something for Krsna, or sometimes he washes the temple or the dishes--whatever he does, he does not let a single moment pass without devoting his activities to Krsna. Such action is in full samadhi. Copyright 1983 The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International. Used with permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
