Chapter 9<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 9 verse 14<\/a><\/p>\n gyAnayagyEna chApyanyE yajanthO mAm upAsathE |<\/em> anyE api – Some other mahAthmAs (great souls) Some other mahAthmAs being engaged in yagya (sacrifice) of knowledge worship me as having many [all] different objects of this world as my rUpa (forms) and having all objects as my prakAra (attributes), and meditate upon me.<\/p>\n ‘Others again worship Me with the Sacrifice of Knowledge[2. Or what may be called the “homage of intellectual worship”.], and (so) meditate on Me as the Unity, the Distinctivity, the Diversity, the Infinity?'[3. This verse explains the pure mental form of contemplative devotion without bodily service).]<\/span><\/p>\n Others, the great-souled, there are, who by means of the aforesaid methods of hymning etc., meditate on Me with what is called the \u2018Knowledge-Sacrifice\u2019[4. Or what may be called the “homage of intellectual worship”.]. How? By reflecting Me as the Unity comprising the infinite varied diversity displayed in the form of the Kosmos. The gist of the teaching here is, thus, this:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n The Blessed Lord V\u0101sudeva[5. See note to verse 7.19<\/a>; note 2, Chapter 8 Proem<\/a>.] alone is (the Unity) having as his body in the most tenuous subtle state, the Principles of Intelligents (chit<\/em>) and Non-intelligents (achit<\/em>), having no names, forms or divisions (or partition). By His unopposable Will he resolves: \u2018I shall be as My manifested mode having for My body the Principles of Intelligents and Non-intelligents in their gross state, having names, forms and divisions.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n Hence, He Himself, the Unity, is seen as in His manifested Kosmic body, exhibiting the marvellous variety of existences, such as the devas<\/em>, the human, the animal and the stationary kingdoms. Contemplating Me thus, do they worship Me.<\/span><\/p>\n And therefore do I declare that I am the Kosmic-constitutioned:-<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 9 verse 16<\/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 9 << Chapter 9 verse 14 SlOkam \u2013 Original gyAnayagyEna chApyanyE yajanthO mAm upAsathE | EkathvEna pruthakthvEna bahudhA viSvathOmukham || word-by-word meaning anyE api – Some other mahAthmAs (great souls) gyAna yagyEna cha – (along with previously explained kIrthanam etc) yagya (sacrifice) of knowledge … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-9","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3820\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
