Chapter-12
Bhaktiyoga
9. If you cannot concentrate your mind finally on Me, then seek to reach Me, O winner of wealth, by repeated Yoga. Or if you are not able to devote your mind, heart and intellect, in their entirety to Me, then dedicate your mind to Me for a moment everyday (101-105). The moment you experience the joy of communion with Me, that very moment, you will become averse to sensual pleasures. Then, as the water in the river dries up with the advent of winter, so your mind will become free from the bonds of worldly existence. Just as the moon wanes day by day, from the full moon night to the new moon night and then disappears, so you will become free from the sensuous enjoyments and slowly enter My being and ultimately become one with Me. Know that this is what is called the Yoga of practice. There is nothing, which cannot be attained with its help (106-110). Among those who practice this Yoga, some roam in the sky, some tame fierce beasts such as tigers and snakes and some digest poison, while some walk on the sea. Through this practice, some have made even the Vedas look insignificant. Therefore, there is nothing, which is difficult to secure by this yogic practice. Therefore, try to attain to Me through the practice of Yoga. |
