Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 16
This divine nature, is conducive not only to one's own liberation, but also to the liberation of all beings. The Lord, has bestowed this human body, so that a person may lead all beings to salvation, in the same way, as the head of a family, looks after the entire family. This human being, has been given such a right by the Lord, that by serving Him, he can even control Hint. A striver, should perform, virtuous actions, such as austerity, charity, sacrifice, pilgrimage, fast, chanting, meditation, study of sacred books and retain good company, for the salvation of numberless beings of infinite universes, and should pray to God, from the core of his heart, through these words, "O Lord! Grant exclusive devotion and salvation, to all the beings. This is possible only by Your grace. I can only pray to You by the intellect, provided by You," and should offer his body, senses, mind, intellect, wealth and property etc., to the Lord, for the salvation of the world.[1] By doing so, he will realize the identity of his possessions, with the world and his natural identity with the Lord, will be revealed. This has been termed by the Lord, by the expression, 'the divine nature is conducive to liberation.' |
