Chapter-9
The Esoteric Knowledge
10. But the great souls, O Partha, who partake of Divine nature, worship Me with undivided attention, regarding Me as the immutable source of beings. I dwell in the pure heart (of a devotee) like an ascetic at a holy place. Dispassion does not leave him even in sleep. Righteousness regains in his good thoughts and desires and his mind always nourishes discriminating knowledge. Bathing in the river of knowledge, he has attained perfection and he looks like the foliage on the tree of ever-lasting peace (186-190), or the blossoms of the Supreme spirit, or a pillar in the pavilion of fortitude, or an overfull jar dipped in the ocean of bliss. He has attained such ecstasy of devotion that he turns always from liberation and his natural conduct is full of morality. All his senses are filled with perfect peace and his mind has, as it were, wrapped up by My all-pervading being. Such high-souled persons, possessed of Divine endowment, fully comprehend My Divine nature, and they worship Me with great devotional love, without being touched by any sense of duality (191-195). O Arjuna, thus becoming one with Me, they serve Me, I shall tell you the novelty of their devotion, please listen. |
