I feel that in the terrible crisis of present time
when entire globe is not able to find any proper solution for own survival,
we must contemplate upon the two below mentioned verses from Bhagavad Gita
which may give us proper shelter in lotus feet of God
and
sufficient strength to combat against COVID-19 horrible war
waged against entire humanity in the whole world.
What is very interesting with these two verses is that the first line is common
and
it is a point to be considered very seriously that why this line was repeatedly emphasized
by Lord Krishna while teaching
Bhagavad Gita
to his loving disciple Arjun?
मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु।
मामेवैष्यसि युक्त्वैवमात्मानं मत्परायणः॥९-३४॥
manmanā bhava madbhakto madyājī mām namaskuru
māmevaisyasi yuktvaivamātmānam matparāyanah||9-34||
अर्जुन ! मेरे में ही मनवाला हो।
सिवाय मेरे दूसरे भाव मन में न आने पावे।
मेरा अनन्य भक्त हो, अनवरत चिंतन में लग।
श्रद्धासहित मेरा ही निरन्तर पूजन कर और मेरे को ही नमस्कार कर।
इस प्रकार मेरी शरण हुआ, आत्मा को मुझमें एकीभाव से स्थित कर तू मुझे ही प्राप्त होगा।
“If, taking refuge in and with a total devotion of the Self to me,
you contemplate, remember with humble reverence,
and worship only me,
you will attain to me.”
मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु।
मामेवैष्यसि सत्यं ते प्रतिजाने प्रियोऽसि मे॥१८-६५॥
manmanā bhava madbhakto madyājī māṁ namaskuru
māmevaiṣyasi satyaṁ te pratijāne priyo’si me||18-65||
अर्जुन! तू मेरे में ही अनन्य मन वाला हो,
मेरा अनन्य भक्त हो,
मेरे प्रति श्रद्धा से पूर्ण हो,
मेरे को ही नमन कर।
ऐसा करने से तू मेरे को ही प्राप्त होगा।
यह मैं तेरे लिए सत्य प्रतिज्ञा करके कहता हूं ;
क्योकि तू मेरा अत्यन्त प्रिय है।
“I give you my sincere pledge,
because you are so dear to me,
that you must attain to me if you keep me in mind,
adore me, worship me,
and bow in obeisance to me.”
Bow down in lotus feet of revered Gurudev
for
such intuition to my inner realm.
Humble Wishes.
