।।9.14।। सतत मेरा कीर्तन करते हुए, प्रयत्नशील, दढ़व्रती पुरुष मुझे नमस्कार करते हुए, नित्ययुक्त होकर भक्तिपूर्वक मेरी उपासना करते हैं।।
9.14 सततम् always? कीर्तयन्तः glorifying? माम् Me? यतन्तः striving? च and? दृढव्रताः firm in vows? नमस्यन्तः prostrating? च and? माम् Me? भक्त्या with devotion? नित्ययुक्ताः always steadfast? उपासते worship.Commentary These great souls sing My glory. They do Japa (repetition) of Pranava (Om). They study and recite the Upanishads. They hear the Srutis (the Vedas) from their spiritual preceptor? reflect and meditate on the attributeless Absolute (Nirguna Brahman). They cultivate the Sattvic virtue
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
।।9.14।।किस प्रकार भजते हैं --, वे दृढ़व्रती भक्त अर्थात् जिनका निश्चय दृढ़स्थिरअचल है ऐसे वे भक्तजन सदानिरन्तर ब्रह्मस्वरूप मुझ भगवान्का कीर्तन करते हुए तथा इन्द्रियनिग्रह? शम? दम? दया और अहिंसा आदि धर्मोंसे युक्त होकर प्रयत्न करते हुए एवं हृदयमें वास करनेवाले मुझ परमात्माको भक्ितपूर्वक नमस्कार करते हुए और सदा मेरा चिन्तन करनेमें लगे रहकर? मेरी उपासना -- सेवा करते रहते हैं।
