Chapter-12
Bhaktiyoga
17. He who does not rejoice or resent, who does not grieve or crave, and who renounces good and evil, such a devotee is dear to Me. He does not value any thing as good as the realisation of the Self and so he does not derive any pleasure from sensual enjoyments (186-190). Since he has become fully conscious that he himself is the universe and got rid of the notion of duality, he does not entertain any feeling of hatred for anyone. He is fully convinced, that his true nature will remain indestructible even at the end of the epoch, and so does not lament the loss of anything. Since he has himself become Brahman, beyond which there is nothing, he has no desire for anything. Just as the night and day do not exist for the sun, he does not distinguish between good and bad things. Although he has attained the state of uninterrupted knowledge, he still remains lovingly devoted to me (191-195). I say on oath, that no one else is so truly dear to Me, as this devotee. |
