Chapter 9<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 9 verse 33<\/a><\/p>\n Simple<\/a><\/p>\n man-man\u0101 bhava mad-bhakto ‘Fix thy heart on Me, be My beloved, be My worshipper, and bend thyself to Me. Mind thus devoted, and giving thyself up to Me, thou shalt gain Myself.’<\/span><\/p>\n Man-man\u0101h<\/em>=My-minded or thy heart set on Me. This means, let thy heart ceaselessly, like the continuous stream of poured oil, be fixed on Me; \u2014Me, the Lord of all; \u2014Me, the Sole Asylum of all excellences, exempt from fault; \u2014Me, the Omniscient; \u2014Me, of Indomitable Will; \u2014Me, the sole Cause of the Universe; \u2014Me, the Parabrahma the Purushottama; \u2014Me of the lotus-like clear and large eyes, and of uniform blue cloud-hue; \u2014Me of a resplendence as if a thousand suns had simultaneously shone; \u2014Me, the Nectar-Ocean of loveliness, of arms four, broad and stout, and of effulgent orange-hued raiment,[1. Along with other texts, read Further, such a heart should be permeated with absorbing love for Me. He is Mad-bhaktah<\/em> or My beloved. Again let him be mady\u0101ji<\/em>=’My worshipper: worship resulting from the delights of enjoying Me in love. Yajna<\/em>=worship, means the fullness of service that a loving leige renders to his beloved master. Service is of three kinds:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n (1). Aupach\u0101rika<\/em> (=externals of worship such as waving lighted camphor, fanning etc.,) (2) s\u0101mspar\u015bika<\/em>, (tactual service, as garlanding, smearing sandal-paste, perfumes etc.,) and (3) \u0101bhyavah\u0101rika<\/em> (=offerings, food, fruit, milk etc.). Y\u0101ga<\/em> is thus rendering all kinds of pleasing services. The meaning is: let thy mind be tutored as to be ever bent on doing such loving service’.<\/span><\/p>\n And further bend thyself<\/em>, or prostrate to Me. This means: let thy mind, \u2014not satisfied with services rendered out of infinite love created by thy communal bliss with Me \u2014be bent in homage and humility to Me, thy Inner Soul.<\/span><\/p>\n Mat-par\u0101ya\u1e47ah<\/em> or one who has given himself up<\/em>, is he to whom I am the Supreme Seat (or State or Rest), or he who, independently of Me, would not exist, and therefore relies on Me.<\/span><\/p>\n Thus disciplining thy mind to be one-pointed towards Me, render it strong enough to be able to revel in the delights of communing with Me. Possessed of such a mind and heart (manas<\/em>) thou shalt<\/em> attain to Myself<\/em>. The term \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> (in the verse) stands for manas<\/em> or mind.<\/span><\/p>\n The import of the verse is: that if with such a prepared manas<\/em>, thou shouldst meditate on Me, thou shouldst enjoy Me, thou shouldst serve Me, thou shouldst prostrate to Me, and shouldst trust to Me Solely, thou shouldst gain Myself.<\/span><\/p>\n Thus, then, in conclusion, thou shalt carry on all thy worldly duties required for thy bodily subsistence, and scriptural duties, \u2014viz<\/em>: daily, casual etc., rites\u2014 as if all was done to please Me, as done by one who is essentially My leige, and done, being actuated to do so, by Myself. Thou shalt ever in love be engaged in singing My praises, in My services, in bowings etc. Thou shalt contemplate that the Universe is under My rule and guidance, and subsists as essentially My appendage. Thou shalt ponder and reflect over the multitude of My loveable Attributes.<\/span><\/p>\n Occupying thyself daily, thus, in devotion of the aforesaid description, thou shalt reach Myself.<\/span><\/p>\n OM TAT SAT<\/span><\/p>\n Thus closes The Ninth Discourse,<\/span><\/p>\n named R\u0101ja-vidy\u0101-R\u0101ja-guhya-Yoga<\/em>,<\/span><\/p>\n Or The Book of Kingly Wisdom, Kingly Mystery,<\/span><\/p>\n with \u015ari R\u0101m\u0101nuja\u2019s<\/em> commentary thereon,<\/span><\/p>\n in the colloquy between \u015ari K\u1e5bish\u1e47a<\/em> and Arjuna<\/em>,<\/span><\/p>\n In the Science of Yoga,<\/span><\/p>\n In the Divine knowledge of the Upanishads<\/em>,<\/span><\/p>\n \u015ar\u012b Bhagav\u0101n,<\/span><\/p>\n The Bhagavad G\u012bt\u0101<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 10<\/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 33 Simple man-man\u0101 bhava mad-bhakto mad-y\u0101j\u012b m\u0101\u1e41 namaskuru m\u0101m evai\u1e63yasi yuktvaivam \u0101tm\u0101na\u1e41 mat-par\u0101ya\u1e47a\u1e25 ‘Fix thy heart on Me, be My beloved, be My worshipper, and bend thyself to Me.
