Chapter 9 • Verse 33

Raja Vidya Raja Guhya Yoga

The Yoga of Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret

Sanskrit Verse

Kim punar brahmanah punya bhakta raja-rshayas tatha, anityam asukham lokam imam prapya bhajasva mam

Translation & Meaning

How much more then, righteous brahmanas and devoted royal sages — having obtained this impermanent and joyless world, engage in devotional service unto Me. If even those in lower positions can attain God, those born into righteous circumstances should certainly seize the opportunity for bhakti.

Key Teachings

  • This world is temporary and ultimately unsatisfying — turn to God
  • Those with favourable circumstances have even greater opportunity for devotion
  • Bhakti is the highest use of human life regardless of social position
