Chapter-9
The Esoteric Knowledge
19. But as for men who worship Me, thinking of Me alone and none else, to them ever absorbed in Me, I grant Yoga and eternal bliss. There are others, however, who dedicate their heart and soul to Me, without stirring into action like the fetus in the womb (231-235). They do not hold anything dearer than Me and they have dedicated their whole life to Me. Those who remember Me with such exclusive devotion and worship, I too become their willing servant. When they begin to follow My path of devotion, it becomes incumbent upon Me to care for them and to perform the tasks which they wish to be done. Just as a bird-mother lives to take care of its chicks without wings, or a mother exerts herself for the sake of the child unmindful of her own comfort, so I provide for those who have devoted their lives to Me (336-340). If they crave for union with Me, I fulfill their desire; and if they wish to serve Me, I vouchsafe to them deep love for Me. In this way I provide for them whatever they desire and also preserve for them whatever they have got. As regards those who have taken refuge in Me, their ‘well-being’ becomes My chief concern. |
