Chapter 9<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 9 verse 33<\/a><\/p>\n manmanA bhava madhbhaktha: madhyAjI mAm namaskuru |<\/em> manmanA bhava – have your mind fixed on me continuously. Have your mind fixed on me. (that too) Have great love towards me. (that too) Worship me. Bow unto me. Have me as your ultimate resting place. By training the mind\/heart in this manner, you will certainly attain me.<\/p>\n ‘Fix your heart on Me, be My beloved, be My worshipper, and bend yourself to Me. Mind thus devoted, and giving yourself up to Me, you shall gain Myself.’<\/span><\/p>\n Man-man\u0101h<\/em>=My-minded or your heart set on Me. This means, let your 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 yourself<\/em>, or prostrate to Me. This means: let your mind, \u2014not satisfied with services rendered out of infinite love created by thy communal bliss with Me\u2014 be bent in homage and humility to Me, your 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 your 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>, you should meditate on Me, you should enjoy Me, you should serve Me, you should prostrate to Me, and should trust to Me Solely, you should gain Myself.<\/span><\/p>\n Thus, then, in conclusion, you shall carry on all your worldly duties required for your 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 shall ever in love be engaged in singing My praises, in My services, in bowings etc. You shall contemplate that the Universe is under My rule and guidance, and subsists as essentially My appendage. You shall ponder and reflect over the multitude of My loveable Attributes.<\/span><\/p>\n Occupying yourself daily, thus, in devotion of the aforesaid description, you shall 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 SlOkam \u2013 Original manmanA bhava madhbhaktha: madhyAjI mAm namaskuru | mAm Evaishyasi yukthvaivam AthmAnam mathparAyaNa: || word-by-word meaning manmanA bhava – have your mind fixed on me continuously. madhbhaktha bhava – (that too) have great love towards me. … 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-3931","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\/3931","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=3931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3931\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
