Re: Bliss and The Striving Body - my healing (please read)

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krsna!

Bhagavad Gita 6.47
yoginam api sarvesam mad-gatenantar-atmana
sraddhavan bhajate yo mam sa me yuktatamo matah

Of all yogis, he who abides in me with full faith, worshipping me in devotion, is most intimately united with me and considered the best of all.

"yuktatamah":  most steadfast (unwavering, persistent,
firm)

*******************************************

yah - One who; sraddhavan - with firm faith in the holy scriptures which corroborate the superexcellence of devotion unto Me; antah-atmana - and with heart; mat-gatena - deeply dedicated to Me; bhajate mam - renders service unto Me by engaging in the devotional practices beginning with hearing and singing My glories; sah - such a devotee; sarvesam-yoginam api - amidst all types of yogis who adopt the paths of karma, jnana, tapasya, astanga-yoga, bhakti, etc; yuktatamah - is the most superior of all. (iti) - Certainly this is; me - My; matah - opinion.

There is alot in this verse. Coming from a christian catholic background salvation is a deep samskara within me. And a part of my life. But upon due consideration and my recent realizations the dualism of light and dark is not the goal and cultivation. It is bhakti and full self surrender.

The life of devotion has never been denial...but instead full integration into the summum-bonum truth! Sri Krsna Reality the Beautiful!

Dear devotees I hope you can get a small glimpse of what I am trying to share in this thread (even my foolishness). The highest joy -  and according to Srimad Bhagavatam the desire to be liberated from the wheel of suffering becomes as nothing - in the face of pure bhakti - suddha-sattva. Jaya Gauranga Mahaprabhu!!!
