Bhakti Ganga (Devotional Songs) — English  Telugu  Hindi

॥ एकतो दत्त! गीतासारः॥


एकतो दत्त! गीतासारः
प्रेमोभयतो वाणिज्यं हि । (पल्लवी) । (Chorus)

O God Datta! The essence of the Gītā is that true love is from one side only irrespective of the other side. If love is expected from other side also, it is only business.

उन्मत्तानुग एकोपमा,
राजकीय चलचित्र नटस्य॥

The only comparative example in this entire world is the love of a mad fan for a movie hero or a political leader.

पश्येऽपश्ये धनक्रियाभ्यम्,
केवल माकर्षण मन्यतः ॥

Whether the other side looks at him/her or not, the true lover loves the other side with practical devotion of service and sacrifice. True love is simply the attraction coming from one side only, not expecting anything from other side in return.
{Service or Saṃnyāsa is sacrifice of work (Karmasaṃnyāsa) and Sacrifice or Tyāga is sacrifice of fruit of work (Karmaphalatyāga).}

प्राणत्यागः क्रियते मृतौ,
धन कलहे सति कुटुम्बिनां तु ॥

The mad fan is busy to commit suicide in the situation of death of the other side while the family members of other side after returning from the burial ground are busy with quarrels for their shares of the wealth of the other side!
