Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Bhagavat Gita - 43 Who is a Bhakta? (Chapter 12 verses 13-20) The qualities of an ideal Bhakta are then described. It can be studied in comparison with the ideal of the Sthitaprajna as described in Chapter 2. He is the friend of all, free from self-centeredness, unaffected by vanity and pride, ever cheerful, patient in all circumstances and situations, firm in his resolves, absolutely self-surrendered to the Lord, attracting the love and affection of all, unperturbed, pure, indifferent to worldly values, devoid of the feeling that he is the doer of anything, alike to friend and foe, alike in praise and insult, an looking on the whole world as his home. ============================================================================ Based on " Srimad Bhagavat Gita - The Scripture of Mankind " a translation by Rev Swami Tapasyanandaji, published by Sri Ramakrishna Math - Chennai. http://www.sriramakrishnamath.org/ -- --------------- Email: gomu Webpage: http://www.geocities.com/gokulmuthu/ Phone: +91 80 6689904, 6689938, 6780026-9 +91 80 2384190-3 Ext. 227 Res: +91 80 6594834 +91 44 8140104 --------------- Information contained and transmitted by this E-MAIL is proprietary to Synergy Infotech Private Limited and is intended for use only by the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
