Translator:
With their minds and lives wholly absorbed in Me, they enlighten each other and ever speak of Me, being satisfied and delighted.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: with minds fixed on Krishna, lives dedicated to him, enlightening one another, constantly speaking of him, they find contentment and joy, describing devoted community, mutual encouragement, as part of the actual experience of sustained devotion.

In life: sustaining any meaningful practice long-term is genuinely easier within a community of people pursuing something similar than trying to maintain it entirely alone.

Teaching: find or build some form of community around whatever meaningful practice you're trying to sustain, mutual encouragement described here isn't incidental, it's part of what actually makes long-term devotion sustainable.

Deep Classical Commentary (Bhashya)

Author:
10.9 मच्चित्ताः with their minds wholly in Me? मद्गतप्राणाः with their life absorbed in Me? बोधयन्तः,enlightening? परस्परम् mutually? कथयन्तः speaking of? च and? माम् Me? नित्यम् always? तुष्यन्ति are satisfied? च and? रमन्ति (they) are delighted? च and.Commentary The characteristics of a devotee who has attained the realisation of oneness are described in this verse. The devotee constantly thinks of the Lord. His very life is absorbed in Him. He has consecrated his whole life to the Lord. According to another interpretation? all his senses (which function because of the Prana)? such as the eye are absorbed in Him. He takes immense delight in talking about Him? about His supreme wisdom? power? might and other attributes. He has completely dedicated himself to the Lord.He feels intense satisfaction and is delighted as if he is in the company of his Beloved (God). The Purana says? The sum total of the sensual pleasures of this world and also all the great pleasures of the divine regions (heavens) are not worth a sixteenth part of that bliss which proceeds from the eradication of desires and cravings. (Cf.XII.8)
