Whatever our approach to the Divine is, it plays an important role in our spiritual progress.
यो यो यां यां तनुं भक्तः श्रद्धयार्चितुमिच्छति ।
तस्य तस्याचलां श्रद्धां तामेव विदधाम्यहम्
॥ ७-२१॥
yo yo yāṃ yāṃ tanuṃ bhaktaḥ
śraddhayārcitumicchati tasya
tasyācalāṃ śraddhāṃ tāmeva
vidadhāmyaham
I am in everyone’s heart as the super
soul. As soon as one desires to
worship some deity, I make his faith
steady so that he can devote himself
to that particular deity.
POWERFUL COGNITION
When you approach the Divine, He helps you.
स तया श्रद्धया युक्तस्तस्याराधनमीहते ।
लभते च ततः कामान्मयैव विहितान्हि तान्
॥ ७=२२॥
sa tayā śraddhayā yuktas
tasyārādhanamīhate labhate ca tataḥ
kāmān mayaiva vihitānhi tān
Endowed with such a faith, he
endeavors to worship a particular
demigod and obtains his desires; In
reality, these benefits are granted by
Me alone.
POWERFUL COGNITION
Do not think that the idols that you pray to are the ones who granted your prayers. All these are granted by the ultimate energy, the Existential energy.
अन्तवत्तु फलं तेषां तद्भवत्यल्पमेधसाम्।
देवान्देवयजो यान्ति मद्भक्ता यान्ति मामपि
॥ ७-२३॥
antavattu phalaṁ teṣāṁ
tadbhavatyalpamedhasām
devāndevayajo yānti madbhaktā yānti
māmapi
Men of limited intelligence worship
the demigods and their fruits are
limited and temporary. Those who
worship the demigods go only to the
planets of the demigods, but My
devotees reach My supreme planet.
POWERFUL COGNITION
It is the cognition of completion or incompletion that makes Kṛṣṇa either the ultimate God, Bhagavān or a demigod, Deva.
