Summary of BG 10.37-42 (end of 10th chapter)

BG 10.37: Of the descendants of Vṛṣṇi I am Vāsudeva, and of the Pāṇḍavas I am Arjuna. Of the sages I am Vyāsa, and among great thinkers I am Uśanā.

BG 10.38: Among all means of suppressing lawlessness I am punishment, and of those who seek victory I am morality. Of secret things I am silence, and of the wise I am the wisdom.
BG 10.39: Furthermore, O Arjuna, I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being — moving or nonmoving — that can exist without Me.
BG 10.40: O mighty conqueror of enemies, there is no end to My divine manifestations. What I have spoken to you is but a mere indication of My infinite opulences.
BG 10.41: Know that all opulent, beautiful and glorious creations spring from but a spark of My splendor.
BG 10.42: But what need is there, Arjuna, for all this detailed knowledge? With a single fragment of Myself I pervade and support this entire universe.

The opulence of the absolute. In this conclusion, Krishna says he's the generating seed of all existence and there is no being moving or nonmoving. When SP was disappearing, he said everything animate and non-animate is coming from Krishna and that is KC. This is the conciousness of a devotee. Everything, animate, inanimate, living, nonliving is coming from Krishna as Krishna is the seed of all existences. I'm the seed giving father of everything. There is nothing separate from Krishna. That is what SP is explaining here. Whenever we think something is separate from Krishna and we engage in something different from Krishna it's maya. That is the primary theme of this chapter. Everythign is coming from Krishna and he says there is no end to his manifestations. He says his glories are unlimited and nobody can chant all his glories. They all are just spark of his glories as described in this chapter. From a single fragment of him, he's taking care of this universe. Krishna says I ensure that all planets are in their orbits, Everybody is an expansion of Krishna. Everybody is derieving his power from Krishna.

Brahmaji when born, performs tapasya and then gets knowledge from Krishna and creates the entire universe. Brahmaji is actually responsible to create progeny. He creates the sapta rishis. They are all part and parcels of Krishna. Getting inspiration from the internal energy of Krishna. Srimati Radharani, the ladini shakti of Krishna is actually responsible for the devotee to perform devotional service of Krishna to provide pleasure to Krishna. Hence, through her, everybody is getting the power to perform devotional service to Krishna.

Krishna is also entering into every atom in the creation. We see every item in the creation is getting its energy to exist from Krishna. Then what is the opulence of Krishna in the spiritual world. Its just unfathomable. We can't understand Krishna's opulence at all. Even brahmaji can't understand his opulence, what can we?? This chapter gives us a glimse of Krishna's opulences so we get the understanding that he's the supreme and we feel that we want to surrender, please and serve him. Because he's the ultimate personality. When we are engaged in the services to Krishna then we shall with intensity perform dev service to Krishna. Mind is very chancal and hence when we understand the opulence of Krishna, we will be excited to perform devotional service to Krishna.  However we must regularly recite the 10the chapter and not lose sight of the opulences of Krishna.
