Conclusion: This scripture, in essence, is like the "Sur" (Sun), a concise summary. (673) Just as a child, when asked "How big is the ocean?", spreads out both hands and says "This big", so too, we can only be amazed by this "ocean-like" scripture and say "It's so big!" We can only do so much, like a child's play. For this "ocean-like" scripture, a profound work of Acharya Chudamani, we can only imitate, with a slight change, the exclamation someone made for Shriman Anandghanji Giraj's work:
"The intention is Shri Haribhadra, extremely profound and generous; the child, spreading out his arms, says the ocean is vast."
"Even a child, spreading out his arms, says the ocean is vast."
"बालोऽपि किं न निजबाहुयुगं वितत्य,
विस्तर्गत रथयात वधवुaो .
Shri Bhaktamar Stotra, or "Sutra", is like a concise statement. It contains a lot of meaning in a few words. This scripture is also like a Sutra. A Sutra, like a thread, can be kept in a pouch, but when unraveled, it can reach from village to village. Similarly, this Sutra-like scripture is concise, but when its essence is unraveled, it can fill volumes of great scriptures. It is full of generous intentions. Just as a thread is wound around a central point (Nucleus), this Sutra-like scripture is also wound around a central point of self-nature. A kite can be flown high with a thread in hand, but if the thread is released, the kite falls immediately. Similarly, this Sutra-like Yoga scripture, with its form as a thread in hand, can be raised high to the highest realms of Yoga Siddhi, but if the thread of form is released, it immediately falls into the abyss of ignorance. Just as various pearls are strung together on a single thread in a pearl necklace, various pearls of wisdom are strung together on a single thread of self-realization in this Yoga scripture. Just as various flowers are woven together with a single thread in a garland, various flowers of wisdom are woven together with a single thread of wisdom in this scripture. Just as a mountain of flowers cannot be worn on the neck, but a garland made of various selected flowers strung together on a single thread can be worn comfortably on the neck, so too, a mountain of scriptures cannot be easily absorbed, but various pearls of wisdom selected and strung together on a single thread of wisdom can be easily absorbed.
