9.14

सततं कीर्तयन्तो मां यतन्तश्च दृढव्रताः ।
नमस्यन्तश्च मां भक्त्या नित्ययुक्ता उपासते
॥ ९-१४॥

satataṁ kīrtayanto māṁ
yatantaśca dṛḍhavratāḥ
namasyantaśca māṁ bhaktyā
nityayuktā upāsate

Always chanting My names and glories,
fully striving with great determination,
bowing down onto Me, these great
devotees of firm resolve, perpetually
worship Me with devotion.

POWERFUL COGNITION

Complete devotion puts us in a completely different plane.

9.15

ज्ञानयज्ञेन चाप्यन्ये यजन्तो मामुपासते ।
एकत्वेन पृथक्त्वेन बहुधा विश्वतोमुखम्
॥९=१५॥

jñānayajñena cāpyanye yajanto
māmupāsate ekatvena pṛthaktvena
bahudhā viśvatomukham

Illustration

Some worship Me by acquiring and spreading wisdom of the Self [jñāna-yajña]. Others worship Me in My non-dual form in oneness, in My infinite form as many, and in My Universal form

POWERFUL COGNITION

When we show our devotion to someone, we surrender ourselves to him or her.
