Purport

In this verse it appears that Arjuna is already satisfied with his understanding of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. By Kṛṣṇa’s grace, Arjuna has personal experience, intelligence and knowledge and whatever else a person may have, and through all these agencies he has understood Kṛṣṇa to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead. For him there is no doubt, yet he is asking Kṛṣṇa to explain His all-pervading nature. People in general and the impersonalists in particular concern themselves mainly with the all-pervading nature of the Supreme. So Arjuna is asking Kṛṣṇa how He exists in His all-pervading aspect through His different energies. One should know that this is being asked by Arjuna on behalf of the common people.

FORKLARING: Det lader til, at Arjuna allerede i dette vers er tilfreds med sin forståelse af Guddommens Højeste Personlighed, Kṛṣṇa. Arjuna har ved Kṛṣṇas nåde personlig erfaring, intelligens, viden og alt andet, som en person ellers kan have, og med alt dette har han forstået, at Kṛṣṇa er Guddommens Højeste Personlighed. For ham er der ingen tvivl, men han beder alligevel Kṛṣṇa om at forklare Sin altgennemtrængende natur. Folk i almindelighed og upersonalisterne i særdeleshed går som regel mere op i den Højestes altgennemtrængende aspekt. Arjuna spørger derfor Kṛṣṇa om, hvordan Han i kraft af Sine forskellige energier eksisterer i Sit altgennemtrængende aspekt. Man må forstå, at det er for folks skyld i almindelighed, at Arjuna spørger om dette.
