maharshi shandily aur unaka bhagavatprem
ek bar ki bat hai- rrishiyoan ne maharshi shandily se poochha- 'bhagavan! sab jagah aur sab samay mean kam dene vala aisa kaun-sa upay hai, jisake dvara manushy sarvotkrisht siddhi prapt kar sakata hai?'
maharshi shandily ne uttar diya-
kshemamatyantikan vipra harerbhajanamev hi.
deshakalanapekshatr sadhanabhavamapyut॥[1]
arthat 'he vipro! manushy-jivan mean sabase badhakar kalyanakarak bhagavadbhajan hai. kisi desh ya kal ki isamean apeksha nahian hai aur is ke liye sadhan jutane p date haian.'
bhakti: shrikrishnadevasy sarvarthanamanuttama.
esha vai chetas: shudhdiryat: shaantiryatoabhayamh॥[2]
arthat 'bhagavan shrikrishn ki bhakti dharm, arth, kam, tatha moksh-charoan purusharthoan se bhi badhakar hai. isase aant:karan shuddh ho jata hai aur aant:karan ke shuddh hone par jiv ko shaanti milati hai, vah nirbhay ho jata hai.'
maharshi shandily bhakti shastr ke mahan achary haian. jaise bhagavan vedavyas ne samast shrutiyoan ka samanvay karane ke liye brahmasootr ka pranayan kiya, vaise hi shrutiyoan, shrimadbhagavat tatha gita ka tatparyaparak nirnay karane ke liye inhoanne ek vilakshan granth ka pranayan kiya, jo 'shandilyabhaktisootr' ya 'bhaktimimaansa' ke nam se prasiddh hai. yah svaroop mean jitana hi laghu hai, mahatmy mean utana hi brihad hai. isamean chhote-chhote ek sau sootr haian. in sootroan mean unhoanne prem, premi tatha premaspad ka jo suandar varnan kiya hai, vah anyatr durlabh hai. inake nam se ek upanishad bhi prapt hai, jisamean inhean yogajnan ke vishisht jijnasu evan achary ke roop mean nirdisht kiya jata hai. is upanishad mean premayogatattv evan adhyatmasadhana ki prakriya ka niroopan hua hai.
