Death defying Acts-Part 28—Always Being the Best

Embodiments of Love!

Let us see if being the best is possible for a smaller person like rajagopal;

To substantiate my claims, deductions and observations I will heavily rely on Lord Krishna only

Take the slogam number 7 of Chapter 10-Vibuti Yoga of Bhagavad Gita

BG 10.7: One who is factually convinced of this opulence and mystic power of Mine engages in unalloyed devotional service; of this there is no doubt.

Krishna talks about includes many things under this opulence like the unborn, beginningless etc; this is not going to be discussed

Then see another slogam, Number 20 of chapter 10

BG 10.20: I am the Supersoul, O Arjuna, seated in the hearts of all living entities. I am the beginning, the middle and the end of all beings.

Combine slogam 7 and 20 and you will get the secret!

Confused?

Ok

In 7 He says, “ “ One who is convinced of this opulence of mine engages in unalloyed devotional service; by telling devotional service Krishna does not mean “ Bhajan Samaj” or evening prayer groups where people assemble, sing a few songs, offer fruits and eatables to the image and eat themselves

Devotional service mean dedication to whatever you do; Die-hard work

You may ask in 7 Krishna was talking about himself as the supreme body

No

See slogam 20; what does he say?

I am the soul residing in all beings

So I am Krishna if I seriously realize the same

If this step is achieved see what happens

I am going to share where Krishna claims the supremacy in the listed areas; I am not considering statements like I am Death, I am the life where nothing is compared
