The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-9. Part-7.





9: The Unity of the Lover and the Beloved :


Part-7.



Among the many kinds of seekers that we can think of, four at least are mentioned in this chapter.

There is the lowest type of seeking souls—lovers of God indeed, devotees, religious people—but they are in the lowest category.

So even among devotees of God there can be categories, which means to say there can be levels of devotion, again which means there can be levels in the comprehension of God.

The levels in the comprehension of God create levels of devotion, even levels in philosophy, and levels in social life, the personality within us, and our day-to-day activities.

All these are influenced by our ultimate comprehensive capacity of the reality of things.

"Catur-vidha bhajante mam janah sukrtino’rjuna, arto jijnasur artharthi jnani ca bharatarsabha" :

“Four kinds of devotees worship Me.”
