Commentary

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!
