Chapter-7
Wisdom and Knowledge
22. Imbued with that faith he seeks to propitiate that deity and obtain from it the desired objects verily granted by Me alone. So imbued with this faith, they carry out the worship until it bears fruit (141-145). In this way, they receive the fruit desired by them, but in reality that fruit is granted to them by Me alone. 23. But the reward of the men of poor wit has an end. Those who worship the deities go to them, My devotee’s alone come to Me. Such devotees do not know Me; because they do not get over their narrow views. Though they receive the desired fruit, it is perishable. Why say more! Such worship only leads to the cycle of birth and death. Their enjoyment of fruit is like the experience in a dream. Even if we leave this aside, whatever deity he likes to worship, he attains to its region only. But those who resort to My way, heart and soul, attain to oneness with Me on leaving the body (146-150). |
