Bhgavatam saves lives

Tesham satata yuktanam bhajatam priti purvakam I

Dadami buddhi yogam tam yena mam upayanti te II sloka 10

तेषां सतत युक्तानां भजतां प्रीति पूर्वकं I 

ददामि बुद्धि युक्तानां तं येन मां उपयान्ति ते II  श्लोक 10

On trial sugar is found to taste sweet. Thought is then bestowed to make varieties of sweetmeats with it. This is the buddhi yoga pertaining to sugar. The glory of god begins to dawn in the mind of the sadhaka who devoutly and persistently practises yoga. This initial experience gives impetus for further pursuit of yoga, leading to greater cognition of god's glory. This is the buddhi yoga endowed with which the sadhaka gets to know more and yet more of the sweet sublimity of the lord and be ardently drawn to him. Devotion does this way wax with buddhi yoga.

A man confined within a dark room contacts a ray of light coming in through a small aperture. He gathers knowledge of the light to that extent. But as the aperture increases in size, his conception of light widens. A man in the broad day light has his own view of the light. Similar to this, God reveals himself in varying degrees and aspects according to the nature and attainments of his devotees
