POWERFUL COGNITION🔗

Through devotion and gratitude, a person has divine experiences and enjoys bliss, which in turn leads to feelings of great love and gratitude towards the whole world and every living being.

INTRODUCTION

Arjuna asks, 'Which of these two types of people are considered to be better: those who are always engaged in your bhakti, devotional love towards you or those who merge in the Brahman, the unmanifest, formless, Cosmic consciousness?' Please be clear, Arjuna is not asking for himself. From here, the discourse becomes a simple discussion. It is more like trying to record the truth for future generations. The questions from here onward are neither doubts nor enquiries. Arjuna tries to put the whole thing down in the expression form, so that it will be a useful reference for future generations. A flow of Arjuna's love for humanity, an expression of his divine experience, prompts him to seek answers to these vexing questions and record the answers from the godhead Himself. Arjuna asks, 'Who will be established in You totally? Will it be a devotee or a person who is enlightened?' Religious people or so-called religious people, confuse others with this verse about Arjuna's question as to whether worshipping the form or worshipping the formless is right.

These people are so confused that they do not know right from wrong. They use their intellectual arrogance and misunderstanding to confuse others. Let me tell you, this is not what Arjuna meant by asking this question. If we look at Kṛṣṇa's answers, we will understand. Experience Or Expression? Completion Or Enriching?

Arjuna asks, 'Is it good to be established in the experience of the Divine consciousness, just to stay in it and enjoy the eternal bliss that flows from that experience? Or is it better to express that love and gratitude created by the conscious experience towards the whole world and every living being? Which is correct? Which one is preferred?'
