श्री भगवानुवाच
इदं तु ते गुह्यतमं प्रवक्ष्याम्यनसूयवे।
ज्ञानं विज्ञानसहितं यज्ज्ञात्वा मोक्ष्यसेऽशुभात्।।9.1।।
।।9.1।।श्रीभगवान् बोले -- यह अत्यन्त गोपनीय विज्ञानसहित ज्ञान दोषदृष्टिरहित तेरे लिये मैं फिर अच्छी तरहसे कहूँगा? जिसको जानकर तू अशुभसे अर्थात् जन्ममरणरूप संसारसे मुक्त हो जायगा।
The fundamental principles distinguishing the different kinds of devotees of the Supreme Lord were discussed in the previous chapter. Now Lord Krishna reveals in this chapter: The glorious magnificence and greatness of the object of devotion, the Parama Purusa or Supreme Being will be delineated. The importance of the saintly devotees of the Supreme Lord will be explained. The nature of bhakti or pure love in devotion will be examined. Lord Krishna uses the word anusuyave which means without duplicity. Such a sincere person is naturally honest and of a spiritual disposition is also trusting. When such a person hears of the unlimited glories and matchless attributes of the Supreme Lord Krishna even though they are being revealed by Him; such persons have full unadulterated faith, trust and confidence that His words apply eternally and are undoubtedly without question the absolute reality. Such persons are qualified to comprehend this knowledge by which realising and then implementing it into ones everyday life they shall be relieved of all reactions and impurities which are obstacles in the path to attainment of the Supreme Lord.
