Can I also become a Yogi of the best category? Yes, certainly you can. How? Sri Bhagavan said—With your mind attached to Me and worshipping Me with complete dependence on Me, you will without any doubt know Me in full. I shall unfold to you in full, this knowledge alongwith Realization, having known which nothing else remains to be known in this world.(1-2) Why do all men not know You in reality? Only a few men have a natural inclination towards spirituality. Among thousands of men scarcely one strives to realize Me, and of those who strive, some rare one, devoting himself exclusively to Me, knows My entire form in reality.(3) What is that entire form? O mighty-armed! Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, reason and ego—these constitute My Prakrti (nature) eightfold divided. This is My lower (insentient) Prakrti; but different from it is My higher (sentient) Prakrti—the life element by which this universe is upheld. All beings evolve from the union of these two.(4) Who is the origin of these two, O Lord? I am the origin of the entire creation, because the whole universe is born of Me and again it dissolves in Me. Therefore there is no other origin in the least besides Me. Like clusters of yarn-beads formed by knots on a thread, the entire universe is threaded on Me.(5-7) |
