Just as the appearance or non-appearance of a dream depends on the existence of one (dreamer), so the natural light by which one sees the existence or non-existence of the universe is what is known as devotion. When this devotion takes the form of a strong desire in an afflicted person, I become the object of that desire. O great warrior, when this devotion takes the form of desire for knowledge in a seeker of knowledge, I become the object of that desire for knowledge. O Arjuna, when this devotion takes the form of desire to achieve an end, I become that end, all-in-all for him (1116-1120). In this way, this devotion operates through ignorance, to show Me, who am the seer as the object to be seen. When one’s face is reflected in the mirror, the apparent duality (constituted by the face and its reflection) is due to the mirror. |
