Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 10: The Divine Glories

Bhagavad Gita 10.9

maccittā madgataprāṇā bodhayantaḥ parasparam | kathayantaśca māṃ nityaṃ tuṣyanti ca ramanti ca ||

With their minds on me and their lives given to me, enlightening one another and always speaking of me, they are content and full of joy.

Modern context

This verse describes a community, not a solitary saint. Devotees enlighten one another and speak together of what they love, and they are content and full of joy. Spiritual life is not meant to be lonely. People grow by talking with others who share their deepest interest, sharpening each other's understanding and kindling each other's joy. A good friend on the path is worth a great deal.
