Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,

By this way, after describing the Swa-Margiya Bhaktivruddhi Method, now doing the conclusion by the word ITI

ITIEVAM BHAGWATSHASTRAM GUDHTATVAM NIRUTPITAM ||

YA ETATSAMADHIYIT TASYAPI SYADHRADHA RATI || 11 ||

    By the word ITI means to end the session.  By these way (previous methods described in the 10 slokas), said that by those aagynas the Bhakti-Vruddhi in Bhagwan ShriPurushottam the lessons described is the meaning.  Now by the word "GudhTatvam" ShriMahaprabhuji wants to show us the swaroop of Bhagwad-Shastras. "Gudh, most Gupt Element". Cannot be described by speech-words, but can be understood by experience such is the swaroop, which had been described. Now Understanding the swaroop of Shastras, the jeevs doing the Abhyas-Adhyayan-Study-following the bhagwad shastras of bhakti, the way the fruit will be acheived, the abhyas of such adhyayan-swaroop is been given by the word " Ya Etat". The word "Ya" describes that generally the rules of Varnashram (which is not described, or not necessary). The Bhaktivardhini roopa shastraas should be studied very well. In the study the way said is not only for the Paath, but understanding each pads-word meaning with proper understanding, should be done. Now by thoughtfully study of bhaktivardhini shold always keep the Anusandhan-by the Nivrutti of Anthkaran, by explaining the swaroop of this marg in heart, keeping in mind the Ek-oness of ShriPurushottam's Sevak-katha. Also been dixit by ShriBhakti-margiya Aacharya (ShriVallabhkul), gets the innocent, su-drudh (strong) rati (involvement), gets the sneh with RasBhaavYukt, is the meaning..............||11||

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,

Breifing of Bhakti Vardhini...............

This is a work of 11 Verses indicating the way for the development of Bhakti (Devotion). Devotion is of two kinds -- Saadhan Rupa (Nine-fold devotion-Navadha Bhakti) and Sadhya roopa (expressed through love). The first is considered as a means like knowledge,etc.,  the second is as an end in itself. To acquire fitness for the grace of God, the devotee should have love for God. This is a spontaneous feeling, which should not remain static but should grow from moe to more like  a plant or a tree, which springs from a seed (bij bhaav). But if the seed is not strong enough (dhradh), it's growth will stunted. Sush a plant will have only a short period of existence. Care should be taken to keep the seed of devotion (bhakti's bij bhaav) by means of renunciation, hearing (shravan) and singing praises of God. The devottee should stay at home (gruhesthitva) and be engaged without any distractions, in worship, hearing, etc. Inspite of distractions, he should not give up concentrating his mind in God. Thus only love for God will spring in his heart. There are three phases in the development of devotion--Sneha, Aasakti, and Vyasana. When devotion culminates into Vyasana, it is a sign of the fruition in the form of the Grace of God. His love for God, reciprocated by love of God is a reward in itself. These three stages are distinguished by their characteristics mentioned in verse 4. In Vyasana, the devottee completely forgets the world and fixes his mind only in God by complete detatchment from the worldly state. When he enters this stage, God Himself comes to him, and showers and pours His Grace on him, so that the devotion now reaches the climax and its ultimate goal. God-the Ultimate Reality- is identified with ShriKrishna in the Geeta. There ShriKrishna says to Arjuna that he is the Supreme Reality, omnipotent, omniscient, and all pervading. He is endowed with six attributes (Yash, shri, gyan,,,,,,,,,)i.e. greatness, potency, glory, beauty, knowledge and disgust for the world.
