Comment:-
Tesamaham samuddharth mrtyusamsarasagarat bhavami naciratpartha mayyavesitacetasam:- 'Mayyaveiitacetasam', are those strivers, whose aim is only God-realization, whose minds are exclusively set on Him, and who themselves remain absorbed in Him.
As an ocean consists of nothing but water, so there is nothing, but death in the world. Nothing in the world is immune, from the buffets of death. Everything is perishing (dying) all the time. So the world has been called an ocean of death-bound existence.
In his daily life man, is bound to face both desirable and undesirable circumstances. Feelings of agreeableness and disagreeableness towards him are inherent in a man. Through such feelings he develops for attachment and aversion, for them. Thus he gets bound (Gita 7/27). Even strivers, become a prey to attachment and aversion, by being attached to their own sects and saints, and by having aversion to the other sects and saints and so they cannot cross the ocean of death-bound existence, quickly. Partiality to sects, is delusion, which binds a man. So the Lord, has laid special emphasis on the freedom from pairs of opposites time and again.[1]
A striver, whose all likes are centred in God has exclusive devotion in God; and all his dislikes are centred in the world viz., by rendering selfless service, he renounces the desire for favourable circumstances, he can be very easily liberated, from the bondage, of the world.
The Lord rewards, men in whatever way, they approach Him (Gita 4/11). So He declares, that He is same to all beings (Gita 9/29). But to those, who love him only, who perform all actions, only for Him and who looking upon Him, as the supreme goal, ever remain absorbed in chanting His name, thinking of Him, and meditating on Him, He straightway delivers, them from the ocean of death-bound existence.[2]
