<p>Added {content_identifier} content</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>English Translation of Ramanuja&#039;s Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Adidevananda<br /> 14.27 The term &#039;hi&#039; (for) denotes cause. I, who am to be served by unswerving Bhakti Yoga, am &#039;the ground of the individual self, immortal and immutable, and also of eternal Dharma,&#039; namely, surpassing eternal prosperity and also perfect felicity, i.e., of the felicity attained by the Jnanin stated in texts such as &#039;Realising that Vasudeva is all&#039; (7.19). I, being of such nature, devotion to Me helps the Jiva to transcend the Gunas. Although the expression &#039;eternal Dharma&#039; is indicative of the conduct to be observed, in the given context, it means the goal to be attained; for, what follows and what precedes it, denote the goal and not conduct. The purport is this: It has been stated that seeking refuge with the Lord is the only means for transcending the Gunas and the attainment of self-realisation, prosperity and the Supreme Being in the earlier text beginning with, &#039;For this divine Maya of Mine consisting of the three Gunas is hard to break through, except for those who take refuge in Me alone ৷৷.&#039; (7.14). Thus, seeking surrender to the Lord with one-pointed mind is the only means for transcending the Gunas and for the attainment of the state of brahman through that. [Here Prapatti, surrender to the Lord, is mentioned as a limb of unswerving Bhakti Yoga according to some interpreters. This is however a disputable point, as some maintain that Prapatti is in itself an independent path].</div>
