Chapter 18
na ea tasmanmanusyesu kascinme priyakrttamah
bhavita na ca me tasmadanyah priyataro bhuvi
There is, none among men who does more loving service to Me than he; nor shall there be, another on earth, dearer to Me than him. 69
Comment:-
Na ca tasmanmanusyesu kascinme priyakrttatnah:- A person, who wants to receive and secure material things, and attaches importance to them, cannot be said, to be endowed with supreme devotion. But he, who without having any desire in the least for mundane things etc., having only the aim of God-realization or God's vision, or God's devotion, wants to translate me teachings of the Gita into practice, can be said to be endowed, with supreme
devotion. Such a person, is qualified to propagate the gospel of the Gita. If sometimes, he happens to have a desire to receive honour and praise etc., that desire cannot last much longer, because it is not his aim.
There is, none dearer to Him, than be who propagates the gospel of the Gita among men, because there is no other job more loving, to Him, than propagation of this gospel. Moreover, he does so only for the Lord's sake, without expecting any reward, in the form of praise, honour, name and fame etc. As far as, mundane desires are concerned, they can be satisfied, in other births, such as of gods, birds, beasts, insects, trees, plants and creatures of hell also. But the success of human life, lies in God-realization and in becoming beloved, of Him.
