This is one of the most imp verses of BG.These 4 verses are called the Chatursloka - The essence of BG. This should clear all our doubts about the Personality of Godhead. I'm the source of all material and spiritual worlds. Brahmaji is also explaining in Brahmasamhita that Krishna is the cause of all causes. Everything is coming from Krishna. All inanimate objects and animate objects come from Krishna. Earth, water, fire, air, ether, false ego, mind and intelligence and all living entities are also coming from me. Matter and Spirit is coming from Krishna, everything is emanating from Krishna. He's no ordinary Person. He's a special person. There is a reason why we should consider him the supreme.
Why are we running behind something which is so temporary. We should reject everything so temp - money, fame, false ego and should accept Krishna is the supreme. Why are we worshiping Krishna, something we should ask ourselves.
Why? Because he's no ordinary person or some ficticious figure. He's not from disney land or a harry potter, he's not coming from the imagination of anybody. Krishna is real, he's GOD. He is the supreme personality of Godhead. Everybody comes from Krishna, that's the personality of KRISHNA. Personalities who learn BG from acaryas and guru parampara then they understand this knowledge.
Mahaprabhu Chaitanya is telling Sarvabhoma Bhataccharya that his explanation of the vedas is like a thick cloud though they are like the moon talking about Krishna. You are unnecessarily trying to speculate when no speculation is required.
Ex- I'm going to Ganga, doesn't mean I'm going inside Ganga, just going to the bank of Ganga. Similarly, no specualation required.
The supreme lord has two aspects - personal and impersonal aspect and Mahaprabhu is telling him tha tyou are only talking about impersonal aspect. He then tells that personal aspect of Krishna is the supreme. The scholars learn from the vedas that Krishna is the supreme Lord, he's the ultimate personality.
In this verse all the doubts are smashed. Everything is emanating from him. From his pores of maha Vishnu many multiple universes are emanating from Krishna. Those people who know this after understadning that this is the ultimate reality of life then, one actually worships Krishna with all their heart. Not because of some sentiment but because of understanding this transcendental knowledge. That is the way.
When somebody understands that everything is coming from Vasudev he can understand Krishna and falls in love with Krishna. Hence we need to understand and gather more and more and have FAITH that he is the supreme. We should hear from the mahajans. All these great sages agree that he is the supreme Lord. Hence we should follow in the footsteps of these mahajans. The 12 mahajans who are recognized by SB and we should follow their footsteps - Brahma, Shiva, Narada, 4 Kumaras, Prahlad, Manu, Janaka, Grandfather Bhisma, Bali Maharaja, Sukadeva Gosvami. Hence we should follow the footsteps of these Mahajans.
When praying to Krishna the first mood we want to maintain is the mood of surrender. My dear Lord I'm completely depended on you and you are my master and I'm your servant. Mahaprabhu teaches us how to surrender - if you continue to embrace me or reject me you are my master and all in all. My relation to you my Lord is as a servant to you my Lord. Hence the Hare Krishna mahamantra is the best prayer. My dear Lord Krishna and Srimati Radharani please engage me in your service. Then both are included - that I'm a servant and you then will start loving Krishna when you start doing service in devotion. Hence to understand Krishna we need to first become his devotee. We should give us the tendency of trying to Lord over the material tendencies, chanting the holy name and serving the Vaishnavas.
