CHAPTER: NINE

 

THE YOGA OF KINGLY SCIENCE AND KINGLY SECRET

 

RAJA VIDYA RAJA GUHYA YOGA

 

Lord Krishna said, " Kingly Science, Kingly Secret, the Supreme

Purifier is realizable by direct intuitional knowledge, according

righteousness, very easy to perform, imperishable (2).

 

" All this world is pervaded by Me in My unmanifested form

(aspect); all beings exist in Me, but I do not dwell in them (means

He is not dependant on them), (4). I m the father of this world, the

mother, the dispenser of fruits of action and grandfather; the one

thing to be known, the Purifier, the syllable OM, and also the Rik,

the Sama and the Yajus also. (17). I am the goal, the supporter,

the Lord, the witness, the Abode, the shelter, the friend, the

origin, dissolution, the foundation, the treasure-house and the seed

imperishable (18).

 

" To those men who worship Me alone, thinking of no other, to

those ever united, I secure what is not already possessed (Yoga) and

preserve what they already possess (Kshema) (22). Whoever offers Me

with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, water, that I accept,

offered with devotion by the pure-minded (26). Whatever thou doest,

whatever thou eatest, whatever thou offerest in sacrifice,

whatsoever givest, whatsoever practiseth as austerity, O Kaunteya,

do it as an offering unto Me (27).

 

" Even if the most sinful worship Me, with devotion to none

else, he too should indeed be regarded as righteous, for he has

rightly resolved (30). Soon he becomes righteous and attains

eternal peace. O Kaunteya, know thou for certain that My devotee is

never destroyed " (31).
