TRANSLATION O scion of
Bharata, surrender unto Him utterly. By His grace you will attain transcendental
peace and the supreme and eternal abode.
PURPORT A living entity
should therefore surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead who
is situated in everyone's heart, and that will relieve him from all kinds
of miseries of this material existence. By such surrender, one will not
only be released from all miseries in this life, but at the end he will
reach the Supreme God. The transcendental world is described in the Vedic
literature as tad visnoh paramam padam. Since all of creation is
the kingdom of God, everything material is actually spiritual, but paramam
padam specifically refers to the eternal abode, which is called the
spiritual sky or Vaikuntha.
In the Fifteenth
Chapter of Bhagavad-gita it is stated, "sarvasya caham hrdi sannivistah."
The Lord is seated in everyone's heart, so this recommendation that one
should surrender unto the Supersoul sitting within means that one should
surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna. Krsna has already
been accepted by Arjuna as the Supreme. He was accepted in the Tenth Chapter
as param brahma param dhama. Arjuna has accepted Krsna as the Supreme
Personality of Godhead and the supreme abode of all living entities, not
only because of his personal experience but also because of the evidence
of great authorities like Narada, Asita, Devala and Vyasa.
