अनन्यचेताः सततं यो मां स्मरति नित्यशः ।
तस्याहं सुलभः पार्थ नित्ययुक्तस्य योगिनः
॥ ८=१४॥
ananyacetāḥ satataṁ yo māṁ smarati
nityaśaḥ tasyāhaṁ sulabhaḥ pārtha
nityayuktasya yoginaḥ
I am always available to anyone who
remembers Me constantly Pārtha,
because of his constant engagement in
devotional service.
POWERFUL COGNITION
When we think of Krishna or engage in devotional service, our inner space becomes completely free of fear and desires and instead we become filled with gratitude for existence.
INTRODUCTION
Kṛṣṇa gives different ways to attain
Brahman or God or Ultimate
consciousness. He says that people
learned in the Vedas attain Brahman.
If someone is completely immersed
in the scriptures, his thoughts will
continuously be along those lines.
That is what Kṛṣṇa means by His
words ‘Immerse yourself in the
scriptures’. Keep reading some
scripture or the other and imbibe
its truth. It will have a tremendous
impact on you. Even if we do not
understand the deeper meanings of
these scriptures, it is ok. These
scriptures are energy hubs. When we
read them, the sound that is
generated is enough to cleanse our
inner being. That is the power of
those verses. They will transform you.
If you listen to vedic chants, you
will find that they are chanted in a
specific tone and pitch. When they
are chanted, they completely
cleanse our system, our inner being.
If we visit the ancient temples in
India, we will see that the sanctum
sanctorum has a beautiful peace
inside it.
When we enter that place,
automatically our being becomes
peaceful. Why do you think we feel
a moment of bliss as soon as we
enter the sanctum sanctorum?
When the priest chants, that place
gets energized. The sound of the
chants carries tremendous energy
and energizes everything in the
place.
