By the
influence of the
speeches
of saintly persons
|
|
The surrendering process
is completed by the influence
of association. The Lord
has suggested, therefore, that
by the influence of the
speeches of saintly persons who
have actually realized
the Supreme, men are engaged
in His
transcendental loving service. The conditioned
soul gets a taste for
hearing about the Lord, and by such
hearing only he is
gradually elevated to the platform of
respect, devotion and
attachment for the Lord.
The king puts the disobedient
citizens within the walls of the jail, but sometimes the king,
desiring the prisoners' relief, personally goes there and pleads for
reformation, and on his doing so the prisoners are set free.
Similarly, the Supreme Lord descends from His kingdom upon the
kingdom of illusory energy and personally gives relief in the form
of the Bhagavad-gita, wherein He personally suggests that although
the ways of illusory energy are very stiff to overcome, one who
surrenders unto the lotus feet of the Lord is set free by the order
of the Supreme. This surrendering process is the remedial measure
for getting relief from the bewildering ways of the illusory energy.
The surrendering process is completed by the influence of
association. The Lord has suggested, therefore, that by the
influence of the speeches of saintly persons who have actually
realized the Supreme, men are engaged in His transcendental loving
service. The conditioned soul gets a taste for hearing about the
Lord, and by such hearing only he is gradually elevated to the
platform of respect, devotion and attachment for the Lord.
