Chapter 11
Jnatum' (to be known), means, that a devotee knows the Lord in reality, that all is God (Gita 7/19) and He is, being and non-being, both (Gita 9/19). It does not mean, that the Lord is encompassed by the devotee's intellect, but He penetrates his intellect fully.
Drastum' means, that a devotee can behold the Lord in any form, such as Lord Visnu, Lord Rama or Lord Krsna. 'Pravestum' means, that a devotee realizes his identity, with the Lord or he enters the sport of the Lord. To enjoy His sport the desire of the devotee, and the will of the Lord, are the chief factors.
In that case, though all his desires are destroyed, yet the Lord fulfils, not only his spiritual desire, but also mundane desire, if any. Before beholding the Lord, Dhruva and Vibhisana, both had a desire to rule over the kingdoms. Their worldly desires, were satisfied by the Lord. It means that the Lord, first satisfies the desire of a devotee, and then by His own sweet will enables, him to attain perfection. In that case, nothing remains to be known, to be done and to be acquired by him.
An Important Fact
The keen desire of a devotee for God-realization, rouses the desire, in the Lord to meet His devotee. None can create, any hurdle in the Lord's desire, to meet His devotee. Then, He removes all obstacles of a devotee, by His grace and reveals Himself to him, without consideration of his eligibility.
