 अध्याय ११


II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II


परि तेचि भक्ति ऐसी I पर्जन्याची सुटिका जैसी I धरांवांचूनि अनारिसी I गतिचि नेणे II 686 II
कां सकळ जळसंपत्ति I घेऊनि समुद्रातें गिंवसिती I गंगा जैसी अनन्यगती I मिळालीच मिळे II 687 II
तैसें सर्वभावसंभारें I न धरत प्रेम एकसरें  I मजमाजीं संचरे I मीचि होऊनी II 688 II
आणि तेवींचि मी ऐसा I थडिये माझारीं सरिसा I क्षीराब्धि कां जैसा I क्षीराचाचि II 689 II
तैसें मजलागुनी मुंगीवरी I किंबहुना चराचरीं I भजनासि कां दुसरी I फरीचि नाहीं II 690 II
तयाचि क्षणासवें I एवंविध मी जाणावें I जाणितला तरी स्वभावें I दृष्टही होय II 691 II
मग इंधनीं अग्नि उद्दिपे I आणि इंधन हे भाष हरपे I तें अग्निचि होऊनि आरोपे I मूर्त जेविं II 692 II
कां उदय न कीजे तेजाकारें I तंव गगनचि होऊनि असे आंधारें I मग उदैलेयां एकसरें I प्रकाशु होय II 693 II
तैसें माझिये साक्षात्कारीं I सरे अहंकाराची वारी I अहंकारलोपीं अवधारीं I द्वैत जाय II 694 II
मग मी तो हें आघवें I एक मीचि आथी स्वभावें I किंबहुना सामावे I समरसें तो II 695 II


"Let Me now illuminate You about Bhakti, said Lord Krishna to Arjun. Illustrating how Bhakti should be He said, just like rain falling from the sky cannot go anywhere than the earth, or just like the river Ganga carrying waters of all rivers eventually merges into the sea, similarly the devotee with intense yearning and the devotional love outpouring must become one with Me. That One-ness should be like, the ocean of milk is milk at its shore and in its middle also there is only milk. Similarly his Chitta, the mind stuff, sees only Me everywhere in Creation merged into Me. The true devotee sees Me everywhere, from the grandest to the most minuscule aspects of Creation, including tiny insects. When this KNOWLEDGE dawns, the Vishwaroop illuminates. And then just like when the wood is on fire, the wood cease to exist because it becomes one with the fire, or just like the darkness prevails only till the sun rises in the sky, as soon as there is the realization of KNOWLEDGE, the "I" Consciousness ceases, thus leading to the complete cessation of the duality. With this the two-ness of "Me" and "He", the Lord and His devotee merges into the homogeneous Oneness Me only."
