Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 12
Bhaktimanme priyo parah:- In the term 'Bhaktimen', there is suffix 'Matup', in the word 'Bhakti', which shows that a person, naturally has devotion (love for God). But he commits an error that instead of having devotion to God, he develops devotion for the world. So he cannot relish devotion for God, and his life becomes dull and insipid. An enlightened devotee, ever remains engrossed in sentiments of devotion. So he is called Bhaktiman (full of devotion). Such a man, full of devotion, is loving to Him. The Lord, in this topic from the thirteenth verse to the nineteenth verse, by using the expression 'Me priyah' (loving to Me), four times and 'Priyo narah)' (that man is loving to Me) the fifth time, divided the topic of marks of his enhghtened devotees, into five groups - the first group, consisting of the thirteenth. and the fourteenth verses, the second group, consisting of the fifteenth verse, the third group, of the sixteenth verse, the fourth group, of the seventeenth verse, and the fifth and last group, of the eighteenth and the nineteenth verses. It means, that there are five different groups of signs of enlightened devotees, rather than one, otherwise the Lord might not have repeated the expression, 'Me priyah,. (loving to Me), four times and 'Priyo narah', the fifth time. |
