Chapter 9
Thus, they remain steadfast in their resolution, and never deviate from it, because their aim is God-realization, and they are, His fragments.
Yatantasca:—As worldly people, nourish their family with attachment, and strive for pleasure and prosperity, so do devotees strive, for God-realization ardently. Efforts of such devotees, seemingly mundane are not really mundane, as their aim is God. So their activities, are directed towards God.
Bhaktya kirtayanto mam:—Devotees, sometimes chant the names and glories of the Lord, sometimes read scriptures and sometimes give divine talks, or hold divine discourses and so on. Al] of these are as hymns of the Lord.
Namasyantasca:—They prostrate before the Lord, by having the feeling that whatever divine traits they possess, and whatever spiritual inclination they have, is only by His grace. They hold that their promptness and inclination towards God, is not the result of their own efforts. Virtues and good conduct, have been developed in them, by His grace. So, they merely prostrate.
Satatam mans upasate:—The devotees, having undivided devotion, perform all actions, whether spiritual or even mundane, such as eating, drinking, sleeping, waking, business and farming etc., only for Him, to please Him.
