| THE KINGLY ART OF SERVICE TO HUMANITY - THE YOGA OF DEDICATION |
3.
At the beginning of this Chapter, the Lord says,
And this unique knowledge is something to be experienced directly. The Lord says it is "pratyakshaavagama," knowledge to be realized by oneself - a knowledge which is beyond words, but which has been tested on the touchstone of direct experience. That is why it is sweet, Tulasidas has said :- To Tulasi it seems best to live on this earth as Rama's slave. It is the sweetness of living in the service of Rama that is found in this Chapter. What can be experienced in this body, seen directly with these eyes, enjoyed here and now in this life, is described here. When we eat sugar, its sweetness is directly experienced. The sweetness of living as Rama's servant is experienced in the same direct manner here. The supreme knowledge which reveals to us the sweetness in this mortal life is the subject of this Chapter. Though this knowledge is a hidden secret, the Lord opens it out for all to understand with ease. |
