Chapter 9<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 9 verse 28<\/a><\/p>\n samO\u2019ham sarvabhUthEshu na mE dhvEshyO\u2019sthi na priya: |<\/em> aham – I I am equal (for anyone who wants to take shelter of me) for all beings of different species; for me, no one is disqualified from taking shelter of me (since they are inferior) and no one is qualified to take shelter of me (since they are superior); those who manifest their love to attain bhakthi (devotion) towards me, live in me and I too live in them (interacting with them with great veneration).<\/p>\n ‘To all beings I am the same; to Me is there neither foe nor friend. But whoso worship Me in love, they are indeed in Me, and I also (am) in them.’<\/span><\/p>\n Be it the divine, the human, the animal, or the stationary, kingdoms; be they high or low, in point of kind (or caste), in point of look, (color etc.,) in point of nature (character etc.,-) or in point of enlightenment, as Refuge to all, independent of such distinctions, I am equal. Inferiority as regards kind, look, nature, or understanding in any person does not, because of it, warrant that he is hateful to me or fit to be rejected as unworthy to come to Me as his Refuge. No one on the other hand claiming superiority of caste etc., is, because of it, specially entitled to claim Me as his Refuge, or has warrant to be particularly dear to Me. Save the ground that he elects Me as his Refuge, not any qualification (as caste, color etc.,) will constitute a claim for My acceptance of Him.<\/span><\/p>\n But whoso, of whichever description he be, worship Me as the Object of the most endearing love, worship Me with a fervor as that, without it, their very being would be imperiled, worship Me as that worship alone were their sole end and aim, they, \u2014without regard to their superiority or inferiority as regards caste etc.\u2014 would dwell in Me in such a state of blessedness, as compare only with the blessedness of Myself.<\/span><\/p>\n I also dwell in them<\/em>. i.e., dwell in them as if they were My betters.[1. The meaning is that love would be reciprocative, and sentiments of love \u2014unmixed with fear or differences as between a master and a servant\u2014 would be such as subsist between parents and children.]<\/span><\/p>\n Moreover;\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 9 verse 30<\/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 28 SlOkam \u2013 Original samO\u2019ham sarvabhUthEshu na mE dhvEshyO\u2019sthi na priya: | yE bhajanthi thu mAm bhakthyA mayi thE thEshu chApyaham || word-by-word meaning aham – I sarvabhUthEshu – for all beings of different species sama – being equal … 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-3907","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\/3907","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=3907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3907\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
