God
Part Three
As per Bhagawad Gita, there are four types
of Devotees who seek God.
Bhagawad Gita mentions about four types of
Bhaktas in chapter 7: 16-18
“Four types of devotees of noble deeds
worship Me, Arjuna, the seeker after worldly possessions, the afflicted, the seeker
of knowledge, and the man of wisdom (one who has known God, and starts
loving Him with all his Heart), O best of Bharatas. (16)
Of these the best is the man of wisdom, ever
established in identity with Me and possessed of exclusive devotion. For I am
extremely dear to the wise man (who knows me in reality), and he is extremely
dear to Me. (17)
Indeed all these are noble, but the man of
wisdom is My very self; such is My view. For such a devotee, who has his mind
and intellect merged in Me, is firmly established in Me alone, the highest
goal. (18)”
So
the Lord loves only those who know Him and Loves Him in reality. Hence in
order to receive the love of the Lord, it is very necessary for us to know Him
first.
But as stated in Chaitanya charithamrutham
20: 122, “…the jivas who have the defect of
forgetfulness, are engaged in this mundane world, [bound by Maya] forgetting
their previous existence with God”.
God in order to make the Jivas remember
their pre-existence with Him and take them to their original state, sends
Avatars in each and every Yuga. Now the same God has come down as the LAST AND
FINAL AVATAR OF NARAYANA [AS KALKI], FOR THE REDEMPTION OF MANKIND.
God says in Gita chapter 4:
Though birthless and deathless, and the Lord
of all beings, I manifest Myself through My own Yogamaya (divine potency),
keeping My Nature (Prakrti) under control. (6) Arjuna, whenever righteousness
is on the decline, and unrighteousness is
in the ascendant, then I body Myself forth. (7) For the protection of the
virtuous, for the extirpation of evildoers, and for establishing Dharma
(righteousness) on a firm footing, I am born from age to age. (8) Arjuna, My
birth and activities are divine. He who knows this in reality is not reborn on
leaving his body, but comes to Me. (9)
So, as we all know that we are in the end
of this Kali yuga, and that wickedness is at its peak: God has come down as the
last and final Avatar, for the sake of saving the Righteous people who were
with Him before the foundation of this world.
