Gita reflection Ch 7 verses 17 & 18

13th June 2024


Among the four types of devotees of God, the man of wisdom is the best due to his single-pointed devotion to God without seeking anything else other than God. 

'He is most dear to Me as I am most dear to him,' says Lord Krishna. There is mutual love without any pollution of attachment or expectations. Here devotion is about seeing oneself in the other despite all differences related to individuality.

Though all devotees are noble, the noblest is the man of wisdom. Why? The man of wisdom has discovered God as his own Self, which is the same in all. 

For him, God is the ultimate goal of life. Akin to the vision of God who created everything out of Himself, the man of wisdom also doesn't see anything other than himself as all.
