Chapter 9 verse 34
“Always think of Me, be devoted to Me, worship Me, and offer obeisance to Me. Having dedicated your mind and body to Me, you will certainly come to Me.”
This verse concludes chapter 9 in a grand fashion. Lord urges all to drop the body, mind, intellect and merge into His service and surrender to Him. In the last verse, I had taken the example of sage Valmiki as someone who came into Godhood even after a terrible life of a highway thief and murderer. This thought made me wonder-How can one get to God without efforts either in the past or the present? Valmiki had to endure the life of a highway robber for exhausting his past karma but sum total of his good karma brought him back to God through sage Narada. Hence the best way is to stay on His path and not swerve any other place. Accept everything which happens to us and take hold of the present moment to effect all and any positive changes we want to implement. Our new life begins this moment every moment. Let’s take charge through His divine grace!
