Chapter 10: Vibhūti-yoga: Verse 9
मच्चित्ता मद्गतप्राणा बोधयन्त: परस्परम् ।
कथयन्तश्च मां नित्यं तुष्यन्ति च रमन्ति च ॥
maccittā mad-gata-prāṇā bodhayanta: parasparam
kathayantaś-ca māṃ nityaṃ tuṣyanti ca ramanti ca – 10.9
With their minds engrossed in Me (the Supreme), life resigned to Me, enlightening one another and speaking variously about Me, they (the devotees) are ever contented and joyful.
Chapter 10: Vibhūti-yoga - Verse 9
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
This verse stands out as singular. It reveals how devotional attitude pulsates, unleashing great exultation not alone to an individual here or there, but to a whole community of persons, who bind themselves alike with the cord of devotion to the Supreme. Krishna clearly sets forth the potential and visible effects devotion unfolds.
Our body is but an instrument. Inner mind is its wielder. What the mind does alone matters verily. Devotional mind is fully merged in the thoughts and memory of God, which inundate the devotee’s activities. He relates his fondness and delight to others around, who, in turn, do the same way.
They begin to speak of the Supreme, causing and spreading contagious joy, making all those around float in the same inner ecstasy – a sight to be seen to believe!
