We should not worry about the result or effects of our effort. Our effort is important to make us responsible. It will take time to control it to where we want it to reach. When we try to meditate, we will find how the mind works. This does not mean that we have to give up our responsibilities and hope for God’s grace. The first thing that we need to train our minds is to stay calm as most of us do not like to be distracted. In all our lives, it is not a mere individual effort, but God’s backing at every step that oversees the well-being of all of us. His intention is that by doing so, he is not burdening the train which is already carrying so many people including him. This mental attitude about their own effort is similar to that of a train traveller who does not place the luggage on the train but chooses to carry it. Some think that it is their effort alone that has driven them through the ups and downs of life and that they bear all the burden of responsibilities in their life. Generally, the believers in God realise that some divine help is behind our attainments. In this sloka, the Lord declares that for those who worship Him and meditate on Him with an undistracted mind, devoting every moment to Him, He takes care of all their needs including whatever they have to achieve and gain, yoga, and also protects what they have attained in their lifetime, Kshema. The dharmakya of your own undistracted mind And the dharmakya of the buddhas wisdom mind Are inseparably united in the experience of clear light. Contemplating on His boundless grace and glories one realises that there is no one other than God and there is identification with the Lord. At the initial level, Punya is sought then only His grace is the target. The Lord traces the stages of the growth of bhakti. This is because it reveals the most profound and also the most practical truth of the Lord’s involvement with the life of His devotees, pointed out by Sri B.
The 22nd sloka in the ninth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, ‘ananyas chintayanto maam’, is considered the Parama Sara sloka of the entire Gita.
