SHRIMAD BHAGAVATAM
(Fifth Skandh) |
CH 06
VS 18 |
TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD performs many works of the devotees and even provides them with salvation but He does not provide devotion with ease. Devotion is more important than salvation, this fact is rendered here.
By providing salvation a creature is also free and even GOD is also free from the creature. But by providing devotion, GOD comes into the love bonding of a devotee. Therefore devotion is extremely rare and only a few get it.
Therefore, a creature should always try to achieve the devotion of GOD and should proceed in that direction only because the place of devotion is supreme.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Devotion is higher than salvation and therefore we must try to undertake devotion of GOD in life.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Bharatji who left his kingdom and his sons for the sake of GOD's devotion, after coming into the forest his heart got stuck in a baby deer. He got so much trapped in the pampering of baby deer that he even forgot GOD. Even in his last time, his heart was engaged in that deer.
After his death, he got the body of a deer but because of his past devotion, his past life's memory was not lost. He regretted that why he deviated from GOD's path. He patiently excluded the attachment of this world and made his life successful by engaging every moment of his life in worshiping of GOD by listening, thinking and chanting the divine qualities of GOD but because of ignorance, he missed his aim due to a baby deer.
Shri Bharatji's narration gives us a message that many occasions will come in our life which will deviate us from GOD's path but we should continue to walk in GOD's path then only our life will be successful.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must not deviate from GOD’s path and continue our endeavor in that direction only.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Bharatji got attached to baby deer and lost his devotion. In his last time because he remembered baby deer he has to take birth in deer species. After his birth in deer species because of the influence of his previous devotion, he got birth in a Brahmin family.
This time he was very attentive as he was well aware from his memory of past life that how he has missed his devotion. This time he got engaged in chanting, listening and remembering the divine qualities of GOD, which cuts the deed bondage of every type. Shri Bharatji used to keep the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD in his heart every moment.
In human life, we should also keep precautions and should not divert from our path. We should engage our human life in the devotion of GOD without deviating from it.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri JadBharatji gave the above preach to King Shri Rahuganji.
The mind engaged in worldly desires puts the creature in danger of this world. He gets trapped in the worldly cycle, escaping from which is not possible. But being devoid of desires, the same mind has the capability to lead us to the path of peace and attain salvation.
So we should stop our mind from getting trapped into worldly desires. The mind which is trapped in worldly desires leads us to our downfall. We should engage our mind in GOD and not in the world. The mind which is engaged in GOD will give us peace and in the end will lead us to salvation. Therefore, a creature should divert his mind from worldly desires and focus it on GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should divert our mind from worldly desires and engage it in GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri JadBharatji gave the above preach to King Shri Rahuganji.
In the society of great people there are always discussions about the virtues of GOD because of which their mind never goes towards worldly desires. A principle is rendered here that if we want to keep our mind away from worldly desires then it should be engaged in listening, thinking and chanting the narration of GOD.
When we listen to the narration of GOD daily, it purifies our intellect and diverts it towards GOD. Therefore, we should make it a rule in our life that we will daily listen to the divine pastimes of GOD in the form of narration so that our mind is engaged in GOD and will not indulge in worldly desires.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Our mind should not be engaged in worldly desires, instead, it should focus on GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri JadBharatji gave the above preach to King Shri Rahuganji.
Man should cut the bondage of fascination by using the sword of knowledge received from the discourse of recluse great people. After it by singing and listening to the divine pastimes of GOD, they will continuously remember GOD. Because of this they will easily cross the worldly ocean and attain GOD.
A creature should undertake Satsang (Holy discourse) and should listen, think and remember the divine pastimes of GOD so that he can cross the worldly ocean and reach GOD. This is the only way to reach GOD and saints have used only this path to reach GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Holy discourse leads us towards GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri JadBharatji gave the above preach to King Shri Rahuganji.
Those whose mind is engaged in GOD's service, in their vision even salvation becomes very insignificant. GOD's devotion is at the highest pinnacle and in comparison to it, salvation is extremely secondary. Those who undertake devotion of GOD never desire salvation. Salvation is always available for them without ever asking for it. The devotee automatically becomes eligible for salvation. He does not need to make any separate efforts for salvation.
But a devotee considers salvation as insignificant and denies taking it. Those who undertake devotion of GOD get so much ecstasy in the devotion of GOD that even salvation fades away in comparison to it.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Devotion is the pinnacle whereas salvation is extremely secondary to it.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Shukdevji said the above words to King Shri Parikshitji.
In the verse glory of Bhagwati Ganga Mata (Holy Ganga River) is elaborated. When at King Shri Baliji's place GOD lifted His Divine Lotus Feet to measure three step land, it reached till Brahmalok. The stream of water that flowed there after washing the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD originated as Bhagwati Ganga Mata.
Pure water of Bhagwati Ganga Mata which is equivalent to nectar, on touching, it destroys all the sins of this world. But it is possible only when we have complete reverence, faith and devotion in Bhagwati Ganga Mata. The water of Bhagwati Ganga Mata always remains pure. Even science is not able to understand the fact that how can Gangajal (water of holy Ganga river) remain pure for so many years. It is a clear small miracle of Bhagwati Ganga Mata which can even be seen today also.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Complete devotion in Bhagwati Ganga Mata (Holy Ganga River) washes away all our sins.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - In this verse, it is stated about GOD Shree Ramji that whoever be the Deities, demons, vanar and humans everyone should undertake the devotion of GOD. It is the nature of GOD that GOD considers too little done as too much.
GOD Shree Ramji provides so much love to His dependents that when He went back to His dwelling after completing His pastime He did not go alone, rather He took entire citizens of His kingdom to His dwelling by freeing them from the cycle of birth and death.
So the creature should undertake the devotion of such a kind and merciful GOD who gets pleased with very little devotion.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- GOD treats very little done for Him as very much and therefore gets pleased with very little devotion.

In the above verse, the glory of Bharat is described. Even the Deities of heaven praise the fortune of those born in Bharat. They say that after taking birth as a human being on this land of Bharat a person gets the greatest opportunity to serve GOD. It is possible only because of the noble virtues of previous births or GOD Himself provides this opportunity by being pleased. Deities of heaven say that they too constantly yearn for such an opportunity.
Therefore, we should utilize human life in Bharat and it should be made successful by undertaking devotion of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Shukdevji said the above words to King Shri Parikshitji.
The one who undertakes the devotion of GOD with some expectation, upon demand, GOD provides him his desired things but this is not the true donation. Because even after getting those desired things again new desires arise in that person's mind.
But the devotee who undertakes the selfless devotion of GOD, GOD gives him the donation of His Divine Lotus Feet itself, which pacifies all the desires of that devotee. Therefore, the creature should undertake the selfless devotion of GOD because the place of selfless devotion is the highest. True devotees of GOD have always undertaken selfless devotion.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should undertake selfless devotion and should not have any demand from GOD in lieu of devotion.

GOD blesses those people who undertake His devotion by all the ways. This is an eternal principle. GOD takes the complete responsibility of those who undertake the devotion of GOD and bless them on every step.
Therefore, whoever creature wants his welfare should undertake the devotion of GOD. Scriptures and saints have said this thing very strongly that GOD bestows the ultimate welfare of His devotees. It is the nature of GOD that He always blesses His devotees. By reading the character of the devotees, we get a rendition of this thing everywhere.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Shukdevji said the above words to King Shri Parikshitji.
Indian Scriptures have considered GOD Shri SuryaNarayanji (Sun GOD) as the conscious form of GOD. In Shrimad Bhagavad Geetaji GOD has described Shri SuryaNarayanji as His power. GOD Shri SuryaNarayanji is the soul of all the worlds. We cannot imagine life without the heat and light of GOD Shri SuryaNarayanji.
There is a legislation of prayer and worship of GOD Shri SuryaNarayanji. Whenever GOD also incarnated in human form He woke up daily in the early morning to praise and worship GOD Shri SuryaNarayanji. GOD Shri SuryaNarayanji is also the first spiritual master. Therefore, we should consider GOD Shri SuryaNarayanji as a conscious form of GOD and should daily wake up in the early morning and worship him and should offer Arghya (a process in which we take water in our hands and offer with respect to Sun GOD) to Him.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Sun GOD is the conscious form of GOD and must be worshipped with devotion.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Shukdevji said the above words to King Shri Parikshitji.
By whichever means we take GOD’s name, it will bless us. Just as the name of GOD taken at the time of worship or at the time of worship is fruitful for us, similarly, in any condition when we take the name of GOD it is fruitful for us.
It is said in the verse that if we take the name of GOD even in a helpless position while sneezing, falling, slipping it cuts the deed bondage of human beings. The character of Shri Ajamilji is the live example that in his last time for the sake of his son he took the name of GOD which liberated him. Therefore, a creature should inculcate the habit of taking the name of GOD in life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The utterance of GOD’s name will bless us in all situations.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Shukdevji said the above words to King Shri Parikshitji.
If a victim or retrograde man accidentally or even in laughter utters the name of GOD, then he immediately destroys all his sins. The importance of pronouncing the blissful name of GOD is so much that it immediately destroys all our accumulated sins. Just as a single spark of fire can burn the entire cotton in a warehouse of cotton, similarly, a single name of GOD contains so much power that it destroys all our accumulated sins.
Therefore the seekers of salvation always take the shelter of the divine name of GOD. A creature should also take the shelter of GOD's name in life so that his sins can be destroyed.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Pronouncing the auspicious name of GOD with devotion destroys all our accumulated sins.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Shukdevji said the above words to King Shri Parikshitji.
Mountain, river, sea and this entire earth are kept on the body of GOD as a tiny particle. Scriptures say that in the pore of GOD millions of universes are contained. GOD is infinite so even if anyone is having thousands of mouths then also who can count the power of universal GOD. Even Shri Vedji becomes calm while singing the glory of GOD saying neti-neti (a Sanskrit expression which means "infinite").
It is not possible for any human being or Scripture to count the powers of GOD. Even if a man gets a thousand mouths then also singing the glory of such infinite GOD is not possible even by a thousand mouths.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- GOD is so infinite that we cannot sing the glory of GOD with a thousand mouths.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Shukdevji said the above words to King Shri Parikshitji.
A creature performs sins after coming into this world and goes to hell to reap them. In Shrimad Bhagwatji Mahapuran a total of 28 types of major hells and various types of sufferings which are given there are described.
But the devotees who live under the shelter of GOD destroy all their sins by undertaking devotion. Devotion has such capability that it destroys our accumulated sins and makes us so holy that we are saved from committing new sins. Therefore, a creature should undertake the devotion of GOD so that his past accumulated sins are destroyed and new sins can be avoided.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The devotion of GOD destroys our past accumulated sins and saves us from committing new sins.

This is one of my favorite verses because it is rendered here that devotion is the best. In this verse, devotion is said as the best creed. Among all the means to reach GOD devotion is considered the best means. Devotion is fearless and a means of welfare. There is no fear of falling on the path of devotion and it is the means of our ultimate welfare.
Devotees and sages use the devotional path to attain GOD. There is no other easier means of attaining GOD. Therefore, a creature should undertake devotion in life and try to reach GOD.

Those who have engaged their mind, which is capable to sing the glory of GOD, in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD, they have done the atonement of all their sins. They do not have to visualize the messengers of GOD Shri Yamrajji (Deity of death) even in the dream. They never have to go to hell.
After coming into this world a creature performs sins knowingly and unknowingly and for the endurance of them, there are 28 types of major hell. But the creature who devotes his mind to the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD, he performs the true atonement of his sins. Then he does not have to go to hell to suffer the sins again. Therefore, a creature should devote his mind to the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD by devotion.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The devotion of GOD leads to the atonement of our sins.
