श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच
केचिदार्तिविनाशाय चार्थलाभाय केचन |
केचिज्जिज्ञासवो लोके भजन्ति हारिमीक्ष्वरं ||
ज्ञ्यानिनास्तु महात्मानः परां भक्तिमहैतुकीम् |
कुर्वन्ति प्रेमभावेन वासुदेवात्मका हि ते ||
एकान्तभक्तिभावेन सर्वत्र समदर्शनः |
वासेदेवः सर्वमिति महात्मानः सुदुर्लुभाः ||
प्रेम्णा प्रेमैव संप्राप्य प्रेम्नस्तुल्यं न विद्यते |
प्रेम्णस्तु विक्रयं कर्तुं नेच्छन्ति प्रेमतत्पराः ||
Shri Sadguru said
Some pray to the Almighty Shri Hari in order to get rid of their sorrows. Some pray to Him to get riches and some with a view to attain divine wisdom. But the great mahatmas who are real gnats, on account of their profound love, develop great devotion which expects no reward. Such great ones, who have such a serene disposition that they find Shri Vasudeva everywhere and in everything due to their unflinching devotion to Him, are very rare to find. Love seeks and deserves to get only love in exchange. Nothing is equal to pure prep. Hence those who who have profound love as their only object, never like to exchange it or sell it for anything in return.
