"Arjuna said: You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the ultimate abode, the purest, the Absolute Truth. You are the eternal, transcendental, original person, the unborn, the greatest. All the great sages such as Nārada, Asita, Devala and Vyāsa confirm this truth about You, and now You Yourself are declaring it to me."
This is a very spoken by Arjuna after the 8th chapter and then Krishna speaks the entire the 9th chapter and the chatursloki. As soon as he heard the chatursloki Arjuna now understands that Krishna is the cause of all causes. Everything is coming from Krishna and it is only by his mercy that devotees can get guidance and help remove the ignorance.
2 things are needed - endeavour and mercy. Only when a devotee endeavors properly for Krishna and only when Krishna has his mercy on them can they achieve Krishna.
Here Arjuna is saying my dear Lord you are Parambrahma. He is the supreme truth.
Parambrahma, Krishna is the ultimate trurh. 'the means of philosophy is to find the Ultimate goal'- Prabhupada.
why are people unable to reach the goal- people do not understand that we are not supreme and unable to discriminate between matter and spirit and have false ego- hence want acknowledgement and appreciation for themselves.
In this verse- Arjuna reaches the peak of his realization of Krishna. Arjun accepts that Krishna is the parambrahman.
Arjun is saying that Krishna is the ultimate abode- Krishna says that everything is resting upon Krishna- flowers on garland resting on the thread- you don't see the thread- but it is there- similarly- everyhing is resting on Krishna, even though you don't see this- due to lack of knowledge. No difference between Krishna and his resting place/ spiriual dham.
All scriptures state the same message- it is not just in BG/ SB. the reason we do not hear all these messages=- even though stated in all scriptures is because we have impure senses and also we listen to scriptures from impure/ unpious souls- hence we get confusing messages. Very important to gain the shelter of a spiritual master who is in the disiplic succession.
Krishna is Visnu at home- in his rasas in Vrindavan son/ lover/ cowherder/ friend etc,
Visnu is Krishna in office- needs to carry out different tasks within the material world is Visnu.
Krishna is the original person and it's a very important verse as even after hearing from sages he was covered by sakya bhav, so hence Arjuna says that now that you have told me about yourself, he cross checks that even other great sages have told me about you.
Balaram is Krishna itself and as Balarama, He wants to serve Krishna. So Krishna himself is serving him so then why can't we serve Krishna? We feel servant is a low job but our life should be to serve Krishna.
