Chapter-10
The Divine Manifestation
10. To those, who ever absorbed in Yoga worship Me with love, I give the Yoga of wisdom by which they come unto Me. O Arjuna, of whatever gifts I wish to give them, they have already picked up the choicest one (126-130). Considering the highway, which they have started to tread to come to Me, heaven and liberation seem like by-lanes. The devotion, which they bear Me, is My gift to them. Whatever I wished to give them, they have already appropriated it. My only wish now is that this devotional love of theirs should go on increasing and the malignant glance of time should not fall on it. Just as doting mother follows its child at play wherever it goes and provides it with whatever toys it asks for, so it is My pleasure to increase the status of devotion (131-135). I wish to increase especially those methods of worship by practicing which My devotees will find it easy to come to Me. Since my devotees are attracted to Me, I am also drawn to them because of their single-minded devotion; for loving devotees are rare in My abode. See, for the comfort of ordinary devotees, I have earmarked the well-trodden paths of paradise and liberation and I have allotted to them even My person with goddess Lakshmi, but I have set apart for My intimate devotees, the Supreme bliss of self-knowledge. O Arjuna, this way I love and keep My loving devotees close to Me. But it is beyond the power of words to describe this love (136-140). |
