Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 7 verse 3


Chapter 7 verse 3

“Among thousands of men, a few strive for perfection, even among those successful strivers, only a very few knows Me in essence.”

The only way a spiritual aspirant would attain God principle is through 100% devotion to Him. Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba says how one can expect to control mind, body and intellect without realizing that none of these really belong to that person and is just a part of the whole God principle. He asks to understand and feel just that one is already part of the divine and just strive to merge with that parabrahmam. Adi Shankara in his Vivekachudamani, talks about how difficult it is to get a human birth and even then, how fortunate to be on the spiritual path. Here the Lord is stressing that the culmination of the path is to seek refuge in the devotion or Bhakti towards the divine.
