|| Shree Hari || II BHAGAVAD GITA 12:13, 14 II The Yogi who hates no being, who is friendly and compassionate to all, who is free from the feeling of "I" and mine", even-minded in pleasure and pain, forgiving, ever content, steady in meditation, self-controlled, is of firm resolve, with mind and intellect dedicated to Me- he, My devotee is dear to Me. Comments: In the Gita, qualities such as friendly and compassionate have neither been referred to as the qualities of Karma Yogi nor of Jnana Yogi (discipline of Knowledge) but have only been associated with a Devotee. In Karma yogi and Jnana Yogi there is Samta (equanimity), but not friendliness and compassion. But in a Devotee, there is friendliness and compassion from the very beginning. In the eyes of a Devotee, besides God, there is no other, therefore who he would hate, and with whom he would have malice with, and why should he hate? "Nij Prabhumai dekhahi jagat kehi sen karahi birodh" (Manasa, Uttar, 112 kha). Even though Jnanayogi also does not have the slightest bit of enmity, still, in him, naturally there is indifference, impartiality and abstinence. In the path of Knowledge, importance is placed on dispassion, which is dry. Therefore even though the Jnana Yogi from within is not harsh, but due to dispassion and indifference, outwardly he appears harsh. For every aspirant, it is very essential to be free from a sense of mineness and egoism. There in Gita, God in Karmayoga (2/71), Jnanayoga (18/53) and Bhakti yoga (12/13), in all the three paths of yoga, being free from mineness and egoism have been expressed, because in fact our essential nature is free of attachment and egoism. God is not hungry for knowledge, but He definitely has yearning for Love. The reason is that love is ever on the increasebut not the knowledge. Therefore God says, that devotee whose mind and intellect are ever centered on Me, is dear to Me.
