Chapter-9
The Esoteric Knowledge
Did not Kamsa attain to Me out of fear or Shishupal, the king of Chedi, through prolonged enmity. The Yadavas and Pandavas attained union with Me through ties of kinship, and Vasudeva and others through filial love. Narada, Dhruva, Akrura, Shuka and Sanatkumara attained to Me through devotion. O wielder of the bow, Gopis attained to Me through love, Kamsa through fear and Shishupal and others through their wicked intentions. I am the final goal for one who seeks Me by whatever path, through devotion, renunciation or through enmity (466-470). Therefore, bear in mind, O Partha, that there is no dearth of means with which one can enter into My being. In whatever caste one is born, whatever be his ruling passion, whether love or hatred he should direct it to Me. By whichever path you wish to belong to Me, you will surely become one with Me in due course. Therefore, O Arjuna, if a person whether of vile birth, or Vaishya or shudra or woman worships Me, he or she enters My eternal abode.
