SRI KRISHNA THROUGH SRI RAMCHANDRAJI
commandment would enable us to understand that we cannot have other goals like artha, dharma and jnana. This is in contrast to Lord Krishna accepting four categories of devotees. In this context it is prudent for us to consider the statements of the Master regarding what type of prayer we may make. To quote him from his commentary on the second Commandment ―One should pray to Him alone who is the Master in the true sense. I donot think it proper to pray to the slaves i.e., those powers which are subordinate to man who are potentialised by him.... ...It is also sheer folly to pray to the great Master for worldly gains except in most special cases.‖ When this is well understood our clarity regarding the goal gets established in our hearts and we seek Oneness with Him.
It is not as though I have said something that is not known to you. I am only placing these ideas in the spirit of Bodhayantah Parasparam. My salutations to all.
