Bhagavat Gita - 37

 

Contemplation on the Divine Excellences: (Chapter 10, 1-11)

 

As an aid to devotion and self-surrender, the Lord expounds

the Divine majestics and excellences, by contemplating on

which the devotional mood is reinforced. The Lord says to

Arjuna: No person, however great, knows Me; for I pre-exist all.

Knowing Me as the unoriginated and external Lord of all, man

becomes sinless and free from delusions. All the higher faculties

of man are but a faint reflection of My excellences. All great men,

saints and saviours, are indeed projections of My thought. To

contemplate on Me as the source of all this world-manifestation,

to recognise My essence in all that is glorious and impressive,

is the way to get thrilled with the devotional experience

and attain perpetual communion with Me. To those whose very

vital energy is drawn to Me through devotion, I bring the

illumination of spiritual insight; I light within them the

lamp of wisdom, revealing Myself as the Soul of their soul.
