Indian Kids- Spiritual Stories of Ancient India

"When one factually knows the opulence of the Supreme, there is no alternative but to surrender to Him... If, however, one thoroughly studies the different descriptions of the opulences and expansions of Krishna's energy, then one can understand without any doubt the position of Lord Shri Krishna and can fix his mind in the worship of Krishna without deviation. How one can attain the highest devotional perfection of association with the Supreme Personality of Godhead has been thoroughly explained in this chapter. Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa, a great ācārya in disciplic succession from Kṛṣṇa, concludes his commentary on this chapter by saying, yac-chakti-leśāt sūryādyā bhavanty aty-ugra-tejasaḥ yad-aṁśena dhṛtaṁ viśvaṁ sa kṛṣṇo daśame ’rcyate From Lord Kṛṣṇa’s potent energy even the powerful sun gets its power, and by Kṛṣṇa’s partial expansion the whole world is maintained. Therefore Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa is worshipable" Srila Prabhupad in purports of 10th Chapter. Although Arjun knows this but for the benefit of common men he is asking Lord to reveal the general process by which the all pervading Lord can be understood by common man. When one realise the God is so great great so great that I am too much small...then he surrender.

Now in Chapter Nine the glories of the Lord will be delineated. For those who understand that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the pure and transcendental Personality, these chapters will be very beneficial. Here Lord has clearly explained his different energies to establish devotion in firm conviction. Here the word Rajvidhya refers to pure devotional service which consist of 9 different activities in relation to Supreme God Vishnu viz hearing, chanting, remembering, serving, worshipping, praying, obeying, maintaining friendship and surrendering everything.

Now, starting with the Thirteenth Chapter, how the living entity comes into contact with material nature and how he is delivered by the Supreme Lord through the different methods of fruitive activities, cultivation of knowledge, and the discharge of devotional service are explained. Although the living entity is completely different from the material body, he somehow becomes related. This also is explained. He also explained the process of knowing the knower of the field of activities.

"The knowledge explained in this chapter is proclaimed by the Supreme Lord to be superior to the knowledge given so far in other chapters. By understanding this knowledge, various great sages attained perfection and transferred to the spiritual world. The Lord now explains the same knowledge in a better way. This knowledge is far, far superior to all other processes of knowledge thus far explained, and knowing this many attained perfection. Thus it is expected that one who understands this Fourteenth Chapter will attain perfection." In this Chapter Lord Krishna also declares him to the father of all whatever may be.

Therefore one should take it very seriously that devotional service as described in the Twelfth Chapter is the only way to get out of this false representation of the real tree( Banyan tree with roots up and branches down)
