CHAPTER 

VERSE

16

चतुर्विधा भजन्ते मां जना: सुकृतिनोऽर्जुन |
आर्तो जिज्ञासुरर्थार्थी ज्ञानी च भरतर्षभ || 7.16 ||

chaturvidhā bhajante māṁ janāḥ sukṛitino'rjuna
ārto jijñāsurarthārthī jñānī cha bharatarṣhabha ||

Four kinds of pious people worship Me, O Arjun—the distressed, the seeker of knowledge, the seeker of wealth, and the wise.

Lesson:

In this world, there are various types of individuals who worship Shri Krishna. These are categorized into four main groups based on their motivations and aspirations. Firstly, there are those who are in distress, facing challenges and difficulties in life. Seeking solace and relief, they turn to the divine for support and guidance. Secondly, there are the seekers of knowledge, individuals who are curious and eager to understand the deeper truths of existence. They approach God with a thirst for spiritual wisdom and enlightenment.

The third category comprises those who seek material wealth and prosperity. Driven by desires for worldly success and abundance, they also recognize the importance of divine blessings in achieving their goals. Finally, there are the wise, individuals who have attained a deeper understanding of life and its mysteries. They worship the divine not out of necessity or desire but out of reverence and gratitude for the universal truths they have realized.

Through this classification, Lord Krishna highlights that irrespective of their motivations, all sincere worshippers are worthy of His grace and guidance.
