BG In Essence - Suhotra Maharaja Archives

Bg 4.10:Bg 18.54:Bg 7.19:Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection,and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me intruth.Being freed from attachment, fear and anger, being fully absorbed inMe and taking refuge in Me, man, many persons in the past becamepurified by knowledge of Me--and thus they all attained transcendentallove for Me.One who is thus transcendentally situated at once realizes the SupremeBrahman and becomes fully joyful. He never laments or desires tohave anything. He is equally disposed toward every living entity. Inthat state he attains pure devotional service unto Me.After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledgesurrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and allthat is. Such a great soul is very rare.Only a fool would consider Krsna to be an ordinary man.Notes:Bg 9.11:Bg 7.24:Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not knowMy transcendental nature as the Supreme Lord of all that be.Unintelligent men, who do not know Me perfectly, think that I, theSupreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, was impersonal before andhave now assumed this personality. Due to their small knowledge, theydo not know My higher nature, which is imperishable and supreme.Focus on the purport of Bg 10.9:The symptoms of the pure devotees are described in this verse specifically.Devotees of the Supreme Lord are twenty-four hours daily engaged in glorifyingthe qualities and pastimes of the Supreme Lord.Notes:Bg 9.13, 14:
