TRANSLATION But those
who fully worship the unmanifested, that which lies beyond the perception
of the senses, the all-pervading, inconceivable, fixed and immovable--the
impersonal conception of the Absolute Truth--by controlling the various
senses and being equally disposed to everyone, such persons, engaged in
the welfare of all, at last achieve Me.
PURPORT Those who do
not directly worship the Supreme Godhead, Krsna, but who attempt to achieve
the same goal by an indirect process, also ultimately achieve the supreme
goal, Sri Krsna, as is stated, "After many births the man of wisdom seeks
refuge in Me, knowing Vasudeva is all." When a person comes to full knowledge
after many births, he surrenders unto Lord Krsna. If one approaches the
Godhead by the method mentioned in this verse, he has to control the senses,
render service to everyone and engage in the welfare of all beings. It
is inferred that one has to approach Lord Krsna, otherwise there is no
perfect realization. Often there is much penance involved before one fully
surrenders unto Him.
In order
to perceive the Supersoul within the individual soul, one has to cease
the sensual activities of seeing, hearing, tasting, working, etc. Then
one comes to understand that the Supreme Soul is present everywhere. Realizing
this, one envies no living entity--he sees no difference between man and
animal because he sees soul only, not the outer covering. But for the common
man, this method of impersonal realization is very difficult.
