The secret I share

Because you are dear to me

And my devotee… // 4 – 3 //

Bhagwaan calls Arjun His dear as His reason to share the fine nuances of life and to show him the right path. He also calls him, His devotee as another reason to share the secrets of the world.

Are we so? Are we a devotee or His dear one. For us the first step is to be His devotee and once He starts recognising our voice, we become his dear one. Such a simple way. Why complicate it? But first Are we His devotee? Can we be His devotee? Will He accept us as His devotee? Let us read Shreemad Bhagwad Geeta and think.

The Shlok for your reference :

स एवायं मया तेऽद्य योग: प्रोक्त: पुरातन: ।
भक्तोऽसि मे सखा चेति रहस्यं ह्येतदुत्तमम् ।।

The same ancient knowledge of Yog, which is the supreme secret, I am today revealing unto you, because you are my friend as well as my devotee, who can understand this transcendental wisdom.
