PURPORT The most confidential
part of knowledge is that one should become a pure devotee of Krsna and
always think of Him and act for Him. One should not become an official
meditator. Life should be so molded that one will always have the chance
to think of Krsna. One should always act in such a way that all his daily
activities are in connection with Krsna. He should arrange his life in
such a way that throughout the twenty-four hours he cannot but think of
Krsna. And the Lord's promise is that anyone who is in such pure Krsna
consciousness will certainly return to the abode of Krsna, where he will
be engaged in the association of Krsna face to face. This most confidential
part of knowledge is spoken to Arjuna because he is the dear friend of
Krsna. Everyone who follows the path of Arjuna can become a dear friend
to Krsna and obtain the same perfection as Arjuna.
These words
stress that one should concentrate his mind upon Krsna--the very form with
two hands carrying a flute, the bluish boy with a beautiful face and peacock
feathers in His hair. There are descriptions of Krsna found in the Brahma-samhita
and other literatures. One should fix his mind on this original form of
Godhead, Krsna. He should not even divert his attention to other forms
of the Lord. The Lord has multi-forms as Visnu, Narayana, Rama, Varaha,
etc., but a devotee should concentrate his mind on the form that was present
before Arjuna. Concentration of the mind on the form of Krsna constitutes
the most confidential part of knowledge, and this is disclosed to Arjuna
because Arjuna is the most dear friend of Krsna's.
