## 2. Gabij: The Importance of Bhakti Yoga.
"जिनेषु कुशलं चित्तं तन्नमस्कार एव च । gTIમાઃિ ૫ સંગુઠું નવીનમનુત્તમ ” - Shri Haribhadracharya.
"जो जाणइ अरिहंते, दव्वगुणपज्जवेहि य ।। સો નાઇનિર પ્રણા, મોરે ૩ વાર તરસ ત્રયં ” - Shri Kundakundaacharya.
And this path is primarily based on devotion, as is indicated here by the special description of Gabij, which the sage, the author of this scripture, has called the foundation of the first friend's vision. This gives rise to some thought on this occasion. Prabhubhakti, Sadgurubhakti, Samrutbhakti, Sahaja Bhairagya, etc. are called the best Gabij here, which become the infallible means of Nirvana. These Amegh Gabij, projected in the mind of the seeker, sprout and successively give the fruit of the supreme nectar, which is liberation. And that
The first and foremost seed in Gabij is the supreme seed, the devotion to the supreme self, Shri Jinendra, the Vitaraga Deva. "To have a mind filled with good and auspicious feelings towards Shri Jin Bhagwan, to offer salutations and pure reverence, is the best Gabij." By establishing the Siddha Atma, who has attained liberation, the pure nature of the supreme Lord, in the ideal place, and by performing his single-minded worship, it becomes the main Gabij, there is no doubt about it. The example of a lion cub living in a flock of sheep for a long time is relevant here. By seeing the form of the Lord, the devotee becomes aware of his own form, and thinks, "How good it would be if I could manifest such a pure Atma form, full of bliss, like Jin Bhagwan?" With such an intense desire, which is a deep-seated taste, he becomes a pure, selfless soul in the end, turns towards self-realization, and practices the ideal form of the supreme self. The achievement is like the ideal that is worshipped. Just as a skilled sculptor, keeping the model constantly in front of his eyes, creates a work of art, so too the seeker, keeping the pure consciousness, the Lord, who is the ideal form of the established deity, constantly in front of his eyes, creates the complete artistic manifestation of his own self. But he sees his own form in the mirror of the unchanging form of the Lord.
