Prof. K.R. Sundararajan/Self-Consciousness in Ramanuja's Vedanta
Note 12
...having realized also Bhagavan's being one's eternal master and one's being His eternal
servant just as they really are, one should promote in oneself the eager longing to serve Bhagavan by saying within oneself, "When shall I see with my eyes Bhagavan Narayana who
is the ruler of my kind, the deity of my kind, the riches of my kind, the source of my bliss, my Mother, my Father, and my all." "When shall I contact my head the two lotus-like feet of
Bhagavan?" "When shall I enter His two lotus-like feet with the desire to serve there dispelling all my craving for other forms of enjoyment and every manifestation of worldly
disposition?" "When shall I, having become to serve at Bhagavan's lotus-like feet and having that service as my sole joy, render service at His feet.
