"Having listened to all about the Bhakti Yoga that is delightful auspicious and sweet like Amrut, those who realize it within. Their utmost faith makes it spread within them. Then just like the seed sown in a fertile land sprouts easily, the Bhakti performed as described before takes root. They are the true devotee and the true yogi, I aspire them. Those enamoured by Bhakti, completely absorbed and deeply in love with the divine, are the pilgrimage, the sacred place, they are the most auspicious. I meditate upon them, remain deeply absorbed in their contemplation. They are My obsession. They are My treasure. Meeting them the soul feels contented. Those who sing praises of the devotee, I worship them as All Mighty Lord. So said Lord Krishna to Arjun. Saying this to Dhrutarashtra Sanjay said, Lord Krishna, a bliss to the devotees, the seed of the universe, He takes care of them who surrender themselves to His will with one pointed devotion. The Abode of kindness that proects them. He is ever ready to help the gods, the nourisher, mentor of the universe being His divine play. He is well known to take care of his devotees in every way. He is glory of dharma and is infinitely benevolent. The All Mighty Lord is the doorkeeper for the devoted King Bali. The inherently loving Lord loves His devotees. Champion of truth, the manifestation of all sixteen kalas. He, the emperor of devotees, Lord Krishna, the Lord of the Supreme Abode Vaikuntha was talking and Arjun was listening to Him. Let me now narrate it said Sanjay to Dhrutarastra. This narration by Sanjay is now presented in Marathi, so let me have your attention. Addressing the audience Sant Dnyaneshwar, the obedient disciple of ShriNivruttinath, says, I am going to follow the teachings of my Guru to surrender to you saintly beings and serve your feet devotedly."
