Chapter 10: Vibhūti-yoga: Verse 8
अहं सर्वस्य प्रभवो मत्त: सर्वं प्रवर्तते ।
इति मत्वा भजन्ते मां बुधा भावसमन्विता:॥
ahaṃ sarvasya prabhavo matta: sarvaṃ pravartate
iti matvā bhajante māṃ budhā bhāva-samanvitā: – 10.8
I, the Supreme, am the source of everything; from Me alone all are activated. Knowing thus, the wise people worship Me with all their feelings and emotions.
Chapter 10: Vibhūti-yoga - Verse 8
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Having begun to enumerate the stupendous, divine splendour of the Supreme, Krishna strikes a devotional note as a prelude to his further narration.
Worship is an attitude and expression of the mind. It is not anything external or related to an object entity. Instead, it is an expression of the seeker, whereby his mind reflects constantly the Supreme’s greatness and qualities. The devotee feels the Supreme as the source of everything, including himself. He also thinks that all things in and around him are active solely due to the power and process the Supreme instruments.
Such fond and fervent inner association underlies all his thoughts, attitudes and actions. This constitutes the essence of his worship. In this ceaseless worship, his mind and its fondness alone work, in contrast to the materials and processes used in external worship.
