Large-heartedness is the inherent nature of the Lord. Large-heartedness is the splendour of the way He conducts Himself. There is no place for narrow mindedness in Him. In fact this large-heartedness of the Lord is also the glory of the eternal religion (Sanatan Dharma). With whatever expectation a person approaches Me, I grant favours to Him in the same manner, in several aspects this inspiration of the Blessed Lord appears to be spreading the fragrance of divinity. The Supreme is without form but takes several forms. 'Anek roop ropaye vishnave prabh vishnave'. 'Ekam sad vipra bahuda vadanti'. There are several facets to all forms. All are His forms; in whatever form one approaches Him in the same form the Lord grants to each his heart's desire. If Tulsi desires to see Ram in the form of Krishna then He instantly takes the desired form. 'Apne jan ke karane Krishna bhaye Raghunath'. One aspect is this also that whatever relationship a person establishes with the Lord He fulfils the relationship in the same manner. If anyone wants to make Him a friend then he becomes so. If someone wants Him to be the mother then He becomes the mother, and if someone wants to become His mother then in the same manner He fulfils that relationship too. Somewhere He becomes the servant and at other places the master! Everything is acceptable to Him. Sweet heart, friend, servant-any relationship.

Jaisa bhaav jo raakh aaye mere paas,

Karu vaisee hee main uski aas.

This can also be viewed in this light that the one who becomes His, He also feels one with him. Whoever devotes his thoughts to Him, remembers Him-He also remembers such a devotee. Whoever cannot live without Him He too cannot stay away from His devotee. If grandsire Bhishm remembers Him in the auspicious hour of Brahmn (Brahm muhurat-early hours of the morning before sunrise) then His wife Satyabhama is also wonderstruck that Lord Krishna also is remembering him in the early hours of the morning. If Lord Hanuman does not snap his fingers then the mouth of Lord Ram after yawning remains open. If Bharat keeps calling 'Ram Ram' then Ram also starts calling repeatedly 'Bharat Bharat'. If 'Krishna Krishna' is spoken by Sudama then Lord Krishna despite being the King of Dwarika leaves His throne and calling for 'Sudama' seats Him on His throne.

'Jaisa bhaav jo raakh aaye mere paas,

Karu vaisee hee main uski aas.'

Whether anyone calls Him in the hour of distress or due to any want, all kinds of emotions are acceptable to Him. With whatever desire a person comes to Him, in the same mode he receives his gratification. If anyone has worldly desires then for him a suitable response and if somebody truly seeks Him (divine) for himself then for that too He is readily agreeable. Duryodhan sought the army, arms and weapons, he got the same. But Arjun desired Him to be his charioteer, then he seated Himself as the charioteer. 'Jo mange thakur apne se soyee soyee dehein' (Guru Granth Sahib)

This kind of large-hearted behaviour is His very nature but it is also guiding light for the people, because 'mama vartmanuvartante manusyah parth sarvasah'. Whatever ideals are established by Him others will follow them. Here the second line of twenty-third verse of the third chapter has been stated as it is. There the Blessed Lord has specified that if I am not vigilant towards my actions, then great harm will be caused, traditions will be damaged, because all follow My example.

For the benefit of our own lives we should take it that the Lord is our supreme well wisher and our great benefactor. Whatever He says, it will be for the general well being. Let us keep His ideals in front of us, follow them; in it is inherent our own welfare and benefit. Leave narrow mindedness and accept magnanimity. Become large hearted not narrow-minded and hard-hearted. Even if one wants to be hard-hearted it should be towards oneself and large-heartedness for others.

The Lord is so supremely liberal and is giving such an open assurance and even then one does not take advantage of His magnanimity, and spends time here and there in worshipping the deities. Why so? Move forward in the beautiful orderly sequence of the Gita-
