Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 puruSaH sa paraH pArtha bhaktyA labhya tv ananyayA, yasyA 'ntaHsthAni bhUtAni yena sarvam idaM tatam (Bhagavad Gita 8.22) That Supreme Personality of God, O Partha (Arjuna), is attainable by unswerving Love and Devotion to Him alone within Whom all beings dwell, by Whom all this is pervaded. 'Ananya Bhakti' exclusive Divine Love is the outcome of the right understanding of the relationship between the Jivatman (individual spirit soul) and the 'Paramatman (Supreme Universal Soul). They are interrelated in the way in which the sea and the waves are interrelated. The waves do not have any existence independent of the sea. Similarly 'Jivatman' is non existant apart from 'Paramatman'. He who understands this fact cannot help having unswerving devotion to the Lord. When the individuality of the 'Jivatman' is forgotten in the total absorption in the Lord through Divine Love, it is then 'Ananya Bhakti', the unswerving exclusive devotion.
