FORKLARING: Den mest fortrolige del af al viden er kort og godt, at man skal blive en ren hengiven af Kṛṣṇa og altid tænke på Ham og handle for Ham. Man skal være mere end en blot og bar officiel pseudomeditatør. Man bør forme sit liv på en måde, så man altid kan tænke på Kṛṣṇa. Man bør altid handle på en måde, så alle ens daglige aktiviteter er forbundet med Kṛṣṇa. Man bør arrangere sit liv således, at man ikke kan andet end tænke på Kṛṣṇa døgnet rundt. Herren lover så, at alle, der befinder sig i en sådan ren Kṛṣṇa-bevidsthed, med sikkerhed vender tilbage til Kṛṣṇas bolig, hvor man omgås med Kṛṣṇa ansigt til ansigt. Denne mest fortrolige kundskab gives til Arjuna, fordi han er Kṛṣṇas kære ven. Enhver, der følger i Arjunas fodspor, kan blive Kṛṣṇas kære ven og opnå den samme fuldkommenhed som Arjuna.

The most confidential part of knowledge is that one should become a pure devotee of Kṛṣṇa 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 Kṛṣṇa. One should always act in such a way that all his daily activities are in connection with Kṛṣṇa. He should arrange his life in such a way that throughout the twenty-four hours he cannot but think of Kṛṣṇa. And the Lord’s promise is that anyone who is in such pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness will certainly return to the abode of Kṛṣṇa, where he will be engaged in the association of Kṛṣṇa face to face. This most confidential part of knowledge is spoken to Arjuna because he is the dear friend of Kṛṣṇa. Everyone who follows the path of Arjuna can become a dear friend to Kṛṣṇa and obtain the same perfection as Arjuna.

Disse ord understreger, at man bør fokusere sit sind på Kṛṣṇa, selve skikkelsen med to hænder, der holder en fløjte, den blå dreng med det smukke ansigt og påfuglefjer i Sit hår. Der findes beskrivelser af Kṛṣṇa i Brahma-saṁhitā og andre bøger. Man bør fæstne sit sind på denne oprindelige form af Guddommen, Kṛṣṇa. Man bør ikke engang aflede opmærksomheden til andre af Herrens former. Herren har mangeartede former som Viṣṇu, Nārāyaṇa, Rāma, Varāha osv., men en hengiven bør koncentrere sit sind om den form, der stod foran Arjuna. At koncentrere sindet på Kṛṣṇas form udgør den mest fortrolige del af al viden. Dette afsløres for Arjuna, fordi Arjuna er Kṛṣṇas kæreste ven.

These words stress that one should concentrate his mind upon Kṛṣṇa – 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 Kṛṣṇa found in the Brahma-saṁhitā and other literatures. One should fix his mind on this original form of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. One should not even divert his attention to other forms of the Lord. The Lord has multiforms as Viṣṇu, Nārāyaṇa, Rāma, Varāha, etc., but a devotee should concentrate his mind on the form that was present before Arjuna. Concentration of the mind on the form of Kṛṣṇa constitutes the most confidential part of knowledge, and this is disclosed to Arjuna because Arjuna is the most dear friend of Kṛṣṇa’s.
