GITA ON BHAKTI AND THOSE ENTITLED TO IT
Yam labdhvaa chaaparam laabham manyate naadhikam tatah |
Yasmin sthito na dukhen gurunaapi vichaalyate || (Gita 6/22)
Having gained which state he does not reckon any other gain greater than that, and wherein established, he is not shaken even by the greatest affliction. (Gita 6/22)
The gist is, that in which there is no sorrow, no superficiality, no lack of peace, no intolerance etc. or no other faults, such a eternally peaceful state, he can attain.
Well! It is God's mysterious grace -
"Binu seva jo dravahin deen per Ram saris koyu naahin."
"Even if a man of wrongful conduct, if he begins to do "bhajan" (worship, remembrance, mine-ness, devotion) of God, then he can very quickly become righteous".
Now, God has spoken about those who take birth in lower wombs due to bad conduct in previous births, they too are entitled to "bhakti" -
Maam hi paarth vyapaashritya yepi syuh paapaynayah |
Striya vaishyaastathaa shoodraastepi yaanti paraam gatim || (Gita 9/32)
Oh Paartha, women folk, Vaisya, Sudras and even those that are born of sinful wombs taking refuge in Me, attain Me (the Supreme God) forever, without any doubt. (Gita 9:32)
In "Ramavatar" when God incarnated as Lord Ram, He embrace Guha to His heart. A devotee is the kind that purifies the three worlds.
Even the lowliest of lowly is also entitled to devotion.
