Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 15
The term 'Eva' means, total dependence on God, only, having renounced all other supports. The same idea, has been expressed in the Gita, in the expression., "Those who take refuge in Me alone" (7/14), "Seek refuge in Him alone" (18/62) and "Take refuge in Me alone" (18/66).
The term 'Prapadye', means 'I seek refuge.' Here a doubt may arise, whether the Lord, also seeks refuge and in whom He seeks refuge? The clarification is, that the Lord does not seek refuge in anyone, because He is the Supreme Lord of the entire creation. In order to set an example to the people He explains it to a striver, by speaking in his language, that he should think, "I take refuge." |
