Text 10] Creation of the Universal Form 23)
tesam satata-yuktanam bhajatam priti-purvakam
dadami buddhi-yogam tam yena mam upayanti te
The buddhi-yoga process of self-realization with intelligence transcen-
dental to the mind (devotional service) can alone elevate one from the
conditioned state of material entanglement in the cosmic construction.
The conditioned state of the living entity is like that of a person who is
within the depths of a huge mechanical arrangement. The mental
speculators can reach the point of buddhi-yoga after many, many life-
times of speculation, but the intelligent person who begins from the plat-
form of intelligence above the mind makes rapid progress in self-realization.
Because the buddhi-yoga process entails no fear of deterioration or
retrogression at any time, it is the guaranteed path to self-realization, as
confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (2.40). The mental speculators cannot under-
stand that the two birds (Sve. Up.) sitting in one tree are the soul and the
Supersoul. The individual soul eats the fruit of the tree, while the other
bird does not eat the fruit but only observes the activities of the eating
bird. The witness bird helps the bird which eats the fruit to perform
fruitful activities without attachment. One who cannot understand this
difference between the soul and the Supersoul, or God and the living
entities, is certainly still in the entanglement of the cosmic machinery
and thus must still await the time when he will be free from bondage.
