Link:- In the next verse, the Lord mentions the way of the worship, of those devotees.
maccitta madgataprana bodhayantah parasparam
kathayantasca mam nityam tusyanti ca ramanti ca[1]
With their minds fixed on Me, with their lives surrendered to Me, enlightening each other about My excellences and greatness and ever speaking of Me, they always remain contented and delighted with Me. 9
Comment:-
[Those who have realized, that the Lord is the origin and source of inspiration of all things and creatures, for them nothing remains to he done, to be known and to be acquired. They have ever, to be engrossed in Him. The same fact, has been explained in this verse.]
Maecitta:—Their minds are fixed on the Lord. There are two things - one is the fixation of the mind on the Lord, and the second is fixation of the self on the Lord. When a devotee, by admitting the fact that he is the Lord's, is absorbed in Him, his mind, intellect etc., are automatically absorbed in Him, because, these organs depend on the doer. So, if a devotee worships the Lord and wants to fix his mind on Him, by thinking, that he is a worldly householder, it is very difficult for him to fix his mind. It means, that if he himself remains devoted to the world, and attempts to absorb his mind in God, it is practically impossible.
Secondly, a person can fix his mind on what he likes the most, and he likes the most a thing or person with whom he has affinity. So, a devotee should admit the fact, that he is only the Lord's and the Lord is only, his. The body and the world, are not his. So he surrenders himself to Him and His will, becomes his will. Such devotees, are said to have fixed their minds on God.
