CHAPTER 9
Stirring to Spiritual Enlightenment
Here Krishn repeatedly speaks in the first person: “I am ... I am’’ The implication of this is only that it is he who stands inseparably with the individual Self as an inspiration and leads the observance of yagya to successful completion by constant appraisal. This is named vigyan. The most revered Maharaj Ji would repeatedly tell us that the act of devotional adoration does not begin until the revered God appears as the charioteer to restrain each single breath. We may close our eyes, engage in the act of pious adoration, and mortify the senses by severe austerities, but unless the desired God comes down to the level at which we are and stands inseparably and watchful by the Self, the essence of worship cannot be gained. This is why Maharaj Ji used to say, “If you but behold me, I shall give you everything.” It is the same as Krishn’s saying that he is the doer of all. |
