B.G 14.26
māṁ ca yo'vyabhicāreṇa bhaktiyogena sevate। sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahmabhūyāya kalpate ॥26॥
He who serves me with unwavering devotion transcends these qualities and becomes eligible to attain purity of emotion and intent, aligning with divine qualities of Brahman.
Gīta Bhāshya 14.26
The word 'bhūyāya' means 'bhāvāya', i.e. to achieve a purity of emotion and intent, aligning with divine qualities. Thus, the word 'brahmabhūyam', means becoming dear to the Lord, similar to Lord Brahma or goddess Prakrti.
brahmavat prakṛtivat bhagavatpriyatvaṃ brahmabhūyam। na tu tāvatpriyatvam। kintu priyatvamātram।
The word 'brahmabhūyam', means becoming dear to the Lord, similar to Lord Brahma or goddess Prakrti. It does not mean the same dearness (as that of Lord Brahma or goddess Prakrti), but in a limited sense.
"baddhā vāpi tu muktā vā na ramāvat priyā hareḥ॥"
"Whether bound or liberated, one is never as dear to Hari as Ramā (i.e. Prakrti) is."
iti pādme।
- stated thus in the Padma Purana.
bhūyāya bhāvāya ॥26॥
The word 'bhūyāya' means 'bhāvāya', i.e. to achieve a purity of emotion and intent, aligning with divine qualities.
