TRANSLATION The devotees
who know these two paths, O Arjuna, are never bewildered. Therefore be
always fixed in devotion.
PURPORT Krsna is here
advising Arjuna that he should not be disturbed by the different paths
the soul can take when leaving the material world. A devotee of the Supreme
Lord should not worry whether he will depart either by arrangement or by
accident. The devotee should be firmly established in Krsna consciousness
and chant Hare Krsna. He should know that concern over either of these
two paths is troublesome. The best way to be absorbed in Krsna consciousness
is to be always dovetailed in His service, and this will make one's path
to the spiritual kingdom safe, certain, and direct. The word yoga-yukta
is especially significant in this verse. One who is firm in yoga
is constantly engaged in Krsna consciousness in all his activities. Sri
Rupa Gosvami advises that one should be unattached in the material world
and that all affairs should be steeped in Krsna consciousness. In this
way one attains perfection. Therefore the devotee is not disturbed by these
descriptions because he knows that his passage to the supreme abode is
guaranteed by devotional service.
