SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaisnavas, 

The association with Bhaagawathaas is so great and
glorious that even the Prapannan (one who has
performed Saranagathi] can pray for being born as a
worm. And those who have not performed Saranagathi-
the next birth is certain and hence the association
with Bhaagawathas should be definitely prayed for.
Thus the Bhaagawatha kataaksham is extremely essential
in this world. 

sakrt tvadaakaara vilOkanaaSayaa
thruNee kruthaan utthama bhukthi mukthibhi: 
mahaathmabhir maam avalOkyathaam naya 
kshaNEpi thE yad virahO(S)thi dhussaha: [56]

Those Bhaagawathaas- whose separation is unbearable
for You even for a fraction of a second; and those
bhaagawathaas- who consider the highest material,
worldly enjoyments as mere thruNam (blade of grass)
and reject them then and there and pray only for the
enjoyment of Your Lotus Feet alone; - Please bless me
making me an object of the benevolent glances of those
greatest Bhaagwathaas to be cast on me. 

The whole world ? everyone in this world- runs amuck
after material pursuits and the jnaanI ? the saint- my
devotee- who considers nothing else other than Me
alone; He rejects everything else as blade of grass; -


Other fruits- which are granted by other demi gods-
[as granted to them by You] are sought by the devotees
of those  demi gods. Further, there are devotees who
pray to You alone. There are people who thus seek
aishwaryam [wealth] and there are some who go little
higher and seek brahma, rudhra et al posts; there are
those who perform karma, jnAna yoga and stop at
jeevaathma anubhavam and end up at Kaivalya anubhavam.


The Paramaikaanthins- do not consider any of the above
as fruits at all; Those fruits even put together- are
mere blade of grass for them compared to the enjoyment
of Your darshan even for a fraction of second. They
pray for enjoyment of the Lord?s lotus feet and that
alone. Also even in this world, they meditate Your
divine form in their hearts and enjoy the same. 

yEraar muya vittu kaakkai pin PovadhEn- Thirumangai
Alwar says enjoying the archaa avathAram. 

I am desirous of their kataaksham ? their benevolent
glances. Why? Because You are not able to even bear
the separation from them- even for a fraction of a
second. Their separation is unbearable to You. At
least I seek some fruits namely, the enjoyment of You.
BUT You are the Supreme Lord; You are avaaptha
samastha kaaman. You have everything and everyone
under your control. Why should You be desirous of
them? Why should the separation from those Bhagawathas
be so unbearable for You? Still it is so ? due to Your
love for Your greatest devotees; those Parama
Bhaagawathaas. 

You only have said in GitA:

thEshAM Jn~Ani nithya-yuktha yEka-bhakthirvisishyathE
priyOhi jn~Aninothyarthamaham sa cha mE priya:
--Geethai: 7.17

Of these (four), the Jn~Ani (the man of Knowledge), is
ever with Me in YogA and devoted to only Me. He is the
foremost to Me among the four types of people , who
worship Me. I am very dear to this Jn~Ani and he too
is very dear to Me.

udhAra: sarva yEvaithE Jn~Ani thvAthmaiva mEmatham
aasthitha: sa hi yukthAthmA maamEvAnutthamAm gathim
--Geethai: 7.18

All these four are generous in their worship; but I
deem the Jn~Ani to be My very self; for he,
integrated, is devoted to Me alone as the parama
purushArtham (highest end).

BahUnAm JanmaNAmanthE Jn~AvAn maam prapadhyathE
VaasudEva: sarvamithi sa MahAthmA Sudhurlabha:
--Geethai: 7.19

After many, many births, the Jn~Ani finds refuge in Me
, fully realizing that "VaasudEvA is every thing". It
is rare indeed 
to find such a great-souled person in this world. 

Hence it is also sought and desired by me to be
associated with such greatest Bhagaawathaas. That is
Parama purushaarttham for Prapannan. Also for
mumukshus (those desirous of mOksham), the association
with Bhaagawathas itself is the means towards
performance of Prapatti. 

His unbearable state of being away from those
Bhaagawathaas ? is because of their being unable to
enjoy Bhagavad anubhavam and hence He feels for them.
He can not bear that. Thus He takes care of their
enjoyment of Him at all times. Such greatest
BhAgwathAs? benevolent glances on others would benefit
them as well to such status sooner or later.
