Just English
1st Chapter
Thus Bhakti is described.
That is
highest love. That is like Amrit - Nectar. Finding
which, a person becomes perfect. He becomes immortal.
Becomes satisfied. Finding which, he desires nothing
more. Neither grieves, nor hates. Neither engages and
neither gets enthusiastic about any thing else. Having
known which, he becomes as if drugged, lost as if.
Stunned, surprised, and dwells in his own self.
By nature
it is free of desire. Having the nature of unconcern
with the worldly affairs. Exclusive devotion toward
that, and unconcern toward any thing that contradicts
it. Giving up of other shelters, and exclusively taking
the shelter of that. Even when interacting with this
world, or conducting worldly affairs, living according
to that, and having unconcern toward any thing that
contradicts that.
Still,
the word of the scriptures must be followed. Else, doubt
of falling. Bodily creatures need to attend to this
world, need to eat, work etc.
Its signs
are told as following as per different views. Worship
etc. and affection, thus, says Parashar Ji. Descriptions
of Character, acts, Glory, stories - Garga Ji. What ever
does not oppose dwelling in the self - Shandilya Ji.
According to Narad Ji - Offering all affairs, leaving
every thing to him, Great anguish and anxiety on
forgetting him. All these are true. Like the Gopis of
Vraj. There they cannot be blamed for forgetting His
Greatness. Without that, it is like love of ordinary
lovers. In such devotion (without knowing his Glory),
feeling of Joy in His Joy does not exist.
2nd Chapter
This is
greater than Karma or Gyana yoga (Selfless action or
Renunciation through Knowledge). Having the form of
fruit itself.
God does
not like proud, and is affectionate toward who is meek,
soft and humble. Knowledge is the means for this,
according to some. Others say Knowledge and Devotion are
independent. Sri Brahma Kumaras (The 4 great Rishis) say
Bhakti is its own fruit.
Just by
seeing his Kingdom, Palace, Food etc. The king is not
satisfied, and hunger does not go away. Therefore,
seekers of Mukti, freedom should themselves take to it.
3rd Chapter
The
following means to that have been told by Acharyas
(Teachers). Giving up pleasures and concerns, as well as
attachments. Continuously Remembering/Worshipping. Even
in the middle of this world, remembering and reciting
the qualities of Bhagwaan (Lord). And most of all, by
grace and kindness of Great Souls or the Lord himself.
The company of Great Souls, is hard to attain, hard to
understand, and free from all vanity. One finds such
company though by His mercy and kindness. There is no
difference between Him and His beings, the Great Souls.
Strive
for him, Strive for Him. Completely give up all bad
company. Desire, Anger, attachment are the reasons for
delusion of memory and destruction of wisdom. These
waves gather into a vast ocean. Who can cross these? Who
can cross this delusion? Who gives up attachment, and
who serves the greatly experienced, and become
self-less. Those who like secluded places, and renounce
attachments to this world, renounce the three Gunas
(become neutral among Gunas), and who give up concerns
of gain and security. Those who give up the fruits of
action, give up unnecessary actions, and renounce
duality. Those who even renounce the word of the Vedas
(or give up concerns of success and prosperity), find
unending pure affection. They swim across, They smim
across, and they help the world swim across.
4th Chapter
Bhakti is
indescribable, having the form of affection. Speaking of
it would be like asking to describe the taste from
someone who can't speak. However, the deserving get
enlightened. Devoid of qualities, devoid of desires,
always increasing and unceasing, subtle, it is only
experienced.
Having
attained it, one sees only it, one hears it alone, one
speaks of it alone and one thinks of it alone. Having
qualities, like based on the three Gunas, and also based
on the states like affliction etc. However, each
succeeding state is better.
A Devotee
has it easier than others. Because it does not need any
proof, being a proof by itself. Peaceful, full of
supreme joy. Do not worry of worldly loss, having left
the concerns of worldly affairs to Him. Even on having
attained success, do not give up worldly duties,
however, giving up of the fruits is the means. Do not
find entertainment in tales of Women, Money or
devotionless people. Give up pride, arrogance etc.
Giving up all states and affairs to Him, give up
desires, anger, prides etc. all to him. Destroying the
three forms (the modes or qualities), remain in constant
servitude, constant affection, remembering.
5th Chapter
A
single-minded Devotee is the highest. With choked
throats, hair rising on their ends, eyes full of joyous
tears, such great souls, talking of Him to each other,
purify their families and this whole earth. They give
holiness to holy places, the goodness to good actions,
and truth to scriptures. Fully devoted. The forefathers
rejoice, Gods dance, and the earth feels protected.
Differences of caste, education, looks, family,
finances, work etc. don't exist in such Devotees. For
they belong to Him.
Do not
engage in debates. They consume too much time, and are
inconclusive. Accept and follow the Scriptures which
teach Devotion, and perform the actions prescribed in
them. Giving up Joy, Sorrow, Desire, Profit etc., just
waiting out, don't waste even half of a second. Nurture
and develop the qualities of Non-violence, truth,
cleanliness, kindness, believing in God etc. Always,
with full devotion, without worries, worship God. Having
Glorified, very soon, He reveals Himself to His Devotees
and lets them experience Himself.
Bhakti is
precious, Bhakti is precious, this is true, over and
over again. Attachment to His Glories and qualities, to
the Looks, to Worship, to Remembrance, to Servitude, to
Friendship, to loving as a Parent, to Affection toward
Him, to taking His Refuge, to being One with Him, to
feeling anguish at Missing Him - having eleven forms but
in reality all these are just one.
Thus
tell, without fear of gossip, with one opinion, the
Brahma Kumaras, Sri Vyasa Ji, Sri Shuk Ji, Sri Shandilya
Ji, Sri Garga Ji, Sri Vishnu Ji, Sri Kaundinya Ji, Sri
Shesh Ji, Sri Udhava Ji, Sri Aruni Ji, Sri Bali, Sri
Hanumaan Ji, Sri Vibheeshan Ji etc. - the Devoted
Teachers.
Those who
believe, and become devoted to these instructions spoken
by Sri Narad Ji, they become devoted, they find the
Dearest Lord, they find the Dearest Lord.
