43. The Nirapekshas are indeed outside the world, for two-fold reasons given by the Smritis and the conduct of the Lord. — 472.

COMMENTARY

The word «Tu» has the force of exclusion. The Nirapekshas, though living in the midst of the five-fold distractions of the world of sense, yet are, as a matter of fact, outside its entanglements. Why do we say so? Because of the two-fold reasons, namely, the Lord being attached to His devotees and the devotees being attached to the Lord. As says the Bhagavata Purana:

Hari, the Supreme Lord, never leaves the heart .of His devotees because He is attracted to it as if by an unconquerable force as the bee to the flower; and though He is destroyer of all sins, He is bound with the chains of love to His devotees. Similarly, He is the best of the Bhagavatas who is bound to the lotus feet of the Lord, by a similar chain of love.

This verse shows that he is the best of the devotees who has bound the lotus feet of the Lord with the rope of His love, and whose heart is like a flower in full bloom attracting constantly the Lord to live in it., This verse further shows, that as a precious stone gets its glory enhanced by being inlaid in a golden setting, or as a master gets his glory enhanced by being surrounded by faithful servants; so is the mutual relation of the Lord and His devotees. Such is the teaching of the Smritis and the practice of the good men.

So also the Lord has said in the Bhagavata Purana, XI., 14 16:

I constantly follow My devotee who is a Nirapeksha, a meditative saint, peaceful, hati3u none and hated by none, who treats all equally, sanctifying with the dust of My feet the places that he treads upon.

These two-fold reasons show that the union of the Lord with His devotees is both internal and external, that the Lord is in the heart of the devotee, as well as constantly follows the footsteps of His lovers.

These verses also show that the cause of wordly bondage consists in turning one’s face away from the Lord and Mukti is the constant state of having the Lord before one’s eyes both in his heart and outside of it.
