Verse 9
The Yoga of Divine Glories
The thoughts of My pure devotees dwell in Me, their lives are fully devoted to My service, and they derive great satisfaction and bliss from always enlightening one another and conversing about Me.
Context & Meaning
A beautiful portrait of the devotional community: minds anchored in the Divine, lives surrendered to service, hearts constantly sharing and deepening each other's understanding. The joy described — tuṣyanti (satisfaction) and ramanti (delight) — is not the forced cheerfulness of spiritual performance but the natural bliss of a soul living in its element.

AdvaitaThe satsaṅga — community of truth-seekers — is described here in its most exalted form. Mutual enlightenment (bodhayantaḥ parasparam) means each devotee amplifies the others' recognition. Devotion is not a solitary path; it flowers in the warmth of shared love.
