Sanskrit Original
।।10.9।।मच्चित्ताः मयि निविष्टमनसः? मद्गतप्राणाः मद्गतजीविताः मया विना आत्मधारणम् अलभमाना इत्यर्थः। स्वैः स्वैः अनुभूतान् मदीयान् गुणान् परस्परं बोधयन्तः? मदीयानि दिव्यानि रमणीयानि कर्माणि च कथयन्तः तुष्यन्ति च रमन्ति च। वक्तारः तद्वचनेन अनन्यप्रयोजनेन तुष्यन्ति? श्रोतारश्च तच्छ्रवणेन अनवधिकातिशयप्रियेण रमन्ते।
10.9 They live with their minds 'focussed' on Me, namely, with their minds fixed on Me; with their 'Pranas', i.e., life, centred on Me - the meaning is that they are unable to sustain themselves without Me. They 'inspire one another' by speaking about My attributes which have been experienced by them and narrating My divine and adorable deeds. They live in contentment and bliss at all times. The speakers are delighted by their own speech, because it is spontaneous, without any ulterior motive; the listeners too feel the speech to be unsurpassingly and incomparably dear to them. They thus live in bliss.
