Chapter 10
katham vidyamaham yogiritstvam soda paricintayan
kesu kesu ca bhavesu cintyo'si bhagavamnaya
How may I realise You, 0 Master of Yoga, by constant meditation on you? In what various aspects are You, 0 blessed Lord, to be meditated upon by me? 17
Comment:-
Katharh vidyemahatir yoguhstvadr soda parleintayim:- The Lord, in the seventh verse of this chapter, said that he who knows Him in reality, gets established in Him, through unwavering devotion. So Arjuna asks Him, how he may know Him, by constant meditation.
Kesu kesu en bhavesu cintyo'si bhagavanmaya:- The Lord, in the fourteen verse of the eighth chapter, declared, "I am easily attainable to the ever steadfast Yogi, who constantly thinks of Me, with undivided mind." Again, He declared, in the twenty-second verse of the ninth chapter, "To those devotees who constantly think of Me, and worship Me alone, who are ever-devout, I provide gain and security. So Arjuna asks Him, in what various aspects He is to be thought of, by him. [Here meditation (thought), is the means, while Knowledge about Him, is the end.]
Aruna asks Lord Krsna, "In what things, persons, places etc., are You to be thought of, by me?" Lord Krsna, will further reply, "There is no creature animate or inanimate which can exist, without Me. I stand holding the entire universe, with a single fragment of Myself." It means, that He pervades everywhere, all things, creatures and incidents etc. So, whatever glory, brilliance, beauty, prosperity or power etc., he thinks of, be should think it only of the Lord and thus, instead of thinking of the universe, he will think only, of Him.
