The nature of the mind is to become absorbed in what it likes most.

Devotees of the Lord become absorbed in remembering him because they
develop deep adoration for him. His devotion becomes the basis of their
life, from which they derive meaning, purpose, and the strength to live.

What is most dear to people’s hearts can be determined by where they
dedicate their mind, body, and wealth. The Bible states: “For where your Verse of the Day -English -
treasure is, there your heart will also be.” (Matthew 6:21)[v8]. You can see WhatsApp

dear to them. If they are donating in charity to African children with WhatsApp
AIDS, that is what absorbs their attention the most. The love of parents
for their children is visible in the fact that they are willing to sacrifice their
time and wealth in their welfare. Likewise, the love of the devotees
manifests in their dedicating themselves to God. Shree Krishna says: mad-
gata-prāṇāḥ, implying, “My devotees surrender their lives to me.”

From such surrender, comes contentment. Since devotees offer the results
of their activities to their beloved Lord, they see every situation as coming
from him. Hence, they gladly accept both positive and negative
circumstances as the will of God, and remain equipoised in both.

While the devotees’ love for God is displayed in the form of the above
characteristics, it also manifests on their lips. They find great relish in
conversing about the glories of God, and his names, forms, virtues,
pastimes, abodes, and devotees. In this way, by engaging in kīrtan
(chanting) and shravaṇa (hearing) regarding the glories of God, they
relish his sweetness for themselves and share it with others as well. They
contribute to one another’s progress by enlightening others about divine
knowledge of God (bodhayanti). Speaking and singing about the glories of
God gives the devotees great satisfaction (tuṣhyanti), and delight
(ramanti). In this way, they worship him through the processes of
remembering, hearing, and chanting. This is the threefold bhakti
comprising of shravaṇa, kīrtan, and smaraṇa. This has previously been
described in the commentary on verse 9.14.

Having described how his devotees worship him, Shree Krishna now
explains how he responds to their devotional activities.
