Commentary: Dig-dar艣in墨-峁�墨k膩 with Bh膩v膩nuv膩da

(By 艢r墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Voicing impersonalist arguments, 艢r墨 Gopa办耻尘腻谤补 might posit, 鈥淧ersons absorbed in bhakti are of the opinion that 鈥楴othing can be obtained without devotion to the Lord. Without bhakti, how can one attain the state of self-satisfaction (腻迟尘腻-谤腻尘补迟腻), which is an even greater achievement than attaining Brahmaloka and such magnificent opulences? Only by engaging in bhakti is self-satisfaction achieved.鈥� But if that is so, then the statement that 鈥榯hose who are 腻迟尘腻-谤腻尘补 ought to become devotees and engage in bhakti,鈥� will be contradictory because they will have already been engaged in bhakti to reach that position.鈥�

Alternatively, the same statement: 鈥淭he state of self-satisfaction, which is the ultimate goal of human life, is attained by bhakti alone,鈥� can be understood to mean that at the time of the great cosmic annihilation, the existence of the infinitesimal living beings (箩墨惫补蝉补迟迟腻) is merged in Brahman. However, even during that state, the 箩墨惫补蝉 carry past impressions, or 蝉补峁僺办腻谤补蝉, of desire for sense objects, and when the time comes for a new creation, all their previous desires and impressions reawaken. Similarly, those who have achieved self-satisfaction continue to carry impressions of their past practices of bhakti. When that desire for bhakti is again awakened, its nature again manifests and induces those persons to describe the qualities, glories, and so on of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍.

This being the case, Gopa-办耻尘腻谤补 might express the doubt, 鈥淚f it is only because of the nature of their past desire that those who are self-satisfied again engage in bhakti, what need is there to glorify the greatness of the qualities of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 so extensively?鈥�

In reply, the 产丑补办迟颈-艣腻蝉迟谤补蝉 say, 鈥淎h, the state of self-satisfaction may be the supreme destination, but the mercy of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 makes even that seem insignificant. By the influence of the association of 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉, that mercy of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 makes the 腻迟尘腻-谤腻尘补 sages realize the sweetness of His transcendental attributes and greatness, causing them to completely abandon their self-satisfaction and become engaged in devotion to the Lord鈥檚 lotus feet. In this manner, the process of the transformation of the 腻迟尘腻-谤腻尘补 sages reveals the greatness of the unlimitedly attractive qualities of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍.

鈥淚t is said, 鈥楾he fruition of bhakti is self-satisfaction. In other words, this state is the culmination of bhakti,鈥� but this thought is completely absurd and against established truth, or 蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟补. In the opinion of 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉, liberation is only the secondary result of bhakti. The principal result of bhakti is attaining the wealth of love for the lotus feet of the Lord.鈥�

The bhakti-艣腻蝉迟谤补蝉 speak four verses (208 through 211), beginning here with sv膩谤腻尘补t膩, in which they dispel doubts about the state of self-satisfaction. They say, 鈥淛ust by giving up false ego, one attains selfsatisfaction. There is no need for bhakti in that process.鈥�

Gopa-办耻尘腻谤补 may ask, 鈥淲ithout bhakti, how can one renounce false ego?鈥�

The 产丑补办迟颈-艣腻蝉迟谤补蝉 say, 鈥淚t is very easy to give up that false ego.鈥�

鈥淗ow has this been deduced?鈥�

鈥淜nowers of the truth, such as 艢r墨 Va艣i峁ａ弓ha, have analyzed the process of abandoning false ego. It is said in the Yoga-惫腻艣颈峁ａ弓丑补: 鈥�api pu峁�p膩vadalan膩d api netra-nim墨lan膩t su-karo鈥檋a峁卥峁泃i-ty膩go matas tattattva-惫别诲颈产丑颈岣�鈥揂s utterly simple as it is to pick flowers or to close your eyes, it is just as easy to abandon false ego.鈥欌��

鈥淏ut all action is performed because of ego. Without ego, how can one develop an inclination for the Lord鈥檚 service, of which the ego, or self-consciousness, is inherently a part?鈥�

鈥淚n the same way that a special potency of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 enables devotees to obtain bodies comprised of eternity, knowledge, and bliss, another special potency of the Lord enables devotees to have the selfconception that they are sac-cid-腻苍补苍诲补 servitors of the Lord. Bhakti is easily attained with this self-conception, or true ego.鈥�
