Gita Press translation – Just as the wind brings together or scatters clouds, blades of grass, flakes of cotton, particles of dust, even so the Creator brings together or scatters beings of His creation (44). Friends, it is a matter for congratulation that you have developed that (transcendental) Love for Me, which (automatically) leads to My realization; and I need not tell you that loving devotion to Me brings immortality to all who practice it (45).
