Chapter 8<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 8 verses 12-13<\/a><\/p>\n Simple<\/a><\/p>\n ananya-cet\u0101\u1e25 satata\u1e41 ‘Whoso, with undivided mind, and constantly, ever ponders on Myself, to such a Yogi, P\u0101rtha! ambitious of eternal union (with Me,) I am easy[1. Sulabha\u1e25<\/em>=I am easy, or I am easily accessible. This is the 823rd name of god. The easy accessibility is further proved by verse IX-26<\/a>: \u2018Patram phushpam phalam toyam &c.\u2019].’<\/span><\/p>\n Nitya\u015ba\u1e25<\/em>=ever, means: ever since the time the aspirant devoted himself to Me as his Aim.<\/span><\/p>\n Satatam<\/em>=constantly, means: at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n Whoso ponders on Me<\/em>, implies: that I have become to him the Object of intense impassioned Love, so much so that the moment I am absent from his thoughts, his very life is in jeopardy.<\/span><\/p>\n Hence doth he constantly ruminate on Me.<\/span><\/p>\n Nitya-yukto yogi<\/em>: is the man who yearns for eternal union with Me, \u2014the j\u00f1\u0101ni\u2014the God-lover. To him, I am easily accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n What this postulant, j\u00f1\u0101ni, seeks, \u2014i.e<\/em>, his Goal\u2014 is Myself, meaning that it is not simply the state like unto Mine in wealth etc., \u2014or what the fortune-seeker attains,\u2014 but he gains Myself<\/span><\/p>\n I am, again, happily accessible to him this-wise:\u2014 I, on My part, would not be able to bear separation of them (My lovers) from Me; and therefore I Myself elect him (v\u1e5bi\u1e47e<\/em>). I carry to fruition the Meditation he adopts for reaching Me; I<\/em> ward off for him the obstacles which may hamper him in his progress in Meditation; I<\/em> generate in him the intense love and affection for Me, etc., etc.<\/span><\/p>\n \u015aruti so declares:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018He is attainable by him alone whom He elects.\u2019[2.

(Yam evai-sha v\u1e5bi\u1e47ute tena labhyah &c.) also vide, Mund: Up:<\/em> III-2-3]<\/span><\/p>\n And further on, in G\u012bt\u0101 itself, it is declared:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Them, ever athirst for union, I, in love, endow with that illumination (buddhi-yoga<\/em>), by which they may reach Me\u2019 (Bh: G\u012b: X-10<\/a>)[3. The Mode of Meditation for the God-seeker, is explained away at full length in Lectures IX<\/a>, X<\/a> and XII<\/a> (read verses IX-14<\/a>, 15<\/a> for example). Read Bh\u0101g:<\/em> III-25-35.].<\/span><\/p>\n Out of feeling grace for them, I<\/em> occupy the stream of their thoughts; and, by the shining light of knowledge, destroy ignorance-born darkness\u2019 (Bh: G\u012b: X-II<\/a>).[4. The Mode of Meditation for the God-seeker, is explained away at full length in Lectures IX<\/a>, X<\/a> and XII<\/a> (read verses IX-14<\/a>, 15<\/a> for example). Read Bh\u0101g:<\/em> III-25-35.]<\/span><\/p>\n Now the remaining part of the Lecture is devoted to show that there is no return for the God-lover (j\u00f1\u0101ni<\/em>), and soul-lover (kaivaly-\u0101rthi<\/em>), but there is return for the fortune-lover (ai\u015bvary-\u0101rthi<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 8 verse 15<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 8 << Chapter 8 verses 12-13 Simple ananya-cet\u0101\u1e25 satata\u1e41 yo m\u0101\u1e41 smarati nitya\u015ba\u1e25 tasy\u0101ha\u1e41 su-labha\u1e25 p\u0101rtha nitya-yuktasya yogina\u1e25 ‘Whoso, with undivided mind, and constantly, ever ponders on Myself, to such a Yogi, P\u0101rtha! ambitious of eternal union (with Me,) I am easy[1.
