TRANSLATION When one's
intelligence, mind, faith and refuge are all fixed in the Supreme, then
one becomes fully cleansed of misgivings through complete knowledge and
thus proceeds straight on the path of liberation.
PURPORT The Supreme
Transcendental Truth is Lord Krsna. The whole Bhagavad-gita centers
around the declaration of Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
That is the version of all Vedic literature. Para-tattva means the
Supreme Reality, who is understood by the knowers of the Supreme as Brahman,
Paramatma and Bhagavan. Bhagavan, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
is the last word in the Absolute. There is nothing more than that. The
Lord says, mattah parataram nanyat kincid asti dhananjaya. Impersonal
Brahman is also supported by Krsna: brahmano pratisthaham. Therefore
in all ways Krsna is the Supreme Reality. One whose mind, intelligence,
faith and refuge are always in Krsna, or, in other words, one who is fully
in Krsna consciousness, is undoubtedly washed clean of all misgivings and
is in perfect knowledge in everything concerning transcendence. A Krsna
conscious person can thoroughly understand that there is duality (simultaneous
identity and individuality) in Krsna, and, equipped with such transcendental
knowledge, one can make steady progress on the path of liberation.
