Chapter-12
Bhaktiyoga
20. Those who partake of this elixir of duty as is taught herein with faith, being solely absorbed in Me such devotees are exceedingly dear to Me. Those who hear this talk of Yoga, which is sweet like a shower of nectar and combines it with duty and turns it into self-experience (226-230), develop an expanding faith and respect for Yoga and practice it, after holding it securely in their heart. If they have attained a state of mind as described by me, they realise its fruit as from the best seed sown in a fertile field. But only those who bear loving devotion towards Me and regard Me, as their all-in-all and as their ultimate goal, are My true devotees and yogis and it is for them, that I feel a strong longing. Those who are fond of hearing tales of devotion, are the holy waters, the sacred places and the holy ones (231-235). I meditate on them, they are the objects of My worship, and I hold none else as superior to them. I am extremely fond of them, who are our treasure and I find great satisfaction in meeting them. But, O Arjuna, I esteem those who take delight in recounting the tales of devotees, as great gods. |
