Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 15
The Lord, mentions the five senses and the mind, in order to point out the fact, that a man (the soul) by being attached to senses and mind, is bound. Therefore a striver, should surrender the body, senses, mind and intellect to the world, by rendering service with these to the world, and surrender himself to God.
But if a person becomes a slave to God, God becomes his slave and makes him a jewel of His crown. But mundane objects, never make anyone a jewel of their crown, even when he becomes a very devoted slave, to them. In fact he becomes great, by taking refuge in Him. About such a devotee, the Lord declares, "O twice-born, I am not independent, I depend on My devotees. They are very loving to Me, they have a full right over My heart" (Srimadbhh. 9/4/63). Can mundane persons and objects, attach so much of importance, to us? Never.
