Chapter 15
Yatah pravrttih prasrta guraartt:- God is the creator of the entire universe (creation), and also its base and illuminator, A man, out of delusion is attracted towards the world, created by Him, because of its sensual pleasure and forgets the Creator. When the world, created by God, seems so charming and loving, how much charming and loving, should He be? Though in the world created by Him, attraction towards the world, is in fact attraction to Him, because it is a manifestation of His fragment (Gita 10/41), yet, out of ignorance, a person assumes that there - is attraction because of the glory of the world, rather than that of God, and so he gets entangled, in the world.
Every being's, nature is that (it or) he depends upon the object or person etc., he considers it superior to all others and from which he expects to receive some pleasure or satisfaction. Worldly people, hanker after wealth, because they think that they can acquire all the necessities as well as luxuries of life, and honour and praise etc., by money (wealth). So, they do not hesitate to commit sins and doing injustice, while earning money. They even do not give proper rest to their, bodies because they remain engaged in earning money,which according to them is superior, to all other attainments. Similarly, when a striver, comes to know that God is the Supreme Being, and having realized Him, one attains such a bliss, which is superior to all mundane pleasures, all sensual pleasures, become insipid before that bliss (Gita 6/22) and then he starts worshipping Him, with all his being (heart) (Gita 15/19).
Tameva cadyam purasam prapadye:- A striver, should seek refuge in the Primal Person, Who is the source of all beings (Gita 10/2). If he takes refuge, in other perishable worldly, persons and objects, they will ruin him, in the same way as a crocodile devours a person who takes refuge, in it. Therefore, he should take refuge, only in the imperishable Lord, rather than, in the perishable world.
