And I proclaim that he who studies this sacred talk, ours, will adore Me with his understanding.

And he who listens to it with faith, without envy, will free himself from the consequences of his guilty deeds and will reach the planets where the virtuous live.

O Arjuna, conqueror of wealth, have you listened to everything with a perfectly vigilant mind?

Are your illusions, your ignorance, now dispelled?

Arjuna answers the Lord:

O dear Krishna, you infallible, my illusion has now vanished. I have, by your grace, recovered my memory. Here I am, firm, free from doubt. I am ready to act on your word.

Wherever Krishna is, the Master of all spiritualists or transcendentalists, wherever Arjuna, the sublime archer, reigns opulence, victory, formidable power and morality.

Summary of the sublime, pure, eternally living and sacred teaching of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.

In truth, Lord Krishna teaches the highest morality.

This teaching on supreme morality is summarized in the last word of the chapter “The highest wisdom”. Each of us must become a devotee of Krishna.

The essence of any religion is to surrender completely to Krishna. God’s teaching is indeed the supreme way of true religion and the purest morality. All other ways may lead those who borrow them to purity, or lead them to the pure knowledge of God, but it is in Krishna’s teaching alone, in his ultimate teaching, that lies the pinnacle of morality and religion, surrendering to Krishna.

Through the teaching of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, we understand that while meditation and philosophical speculation may enable us to realize our spiritual nature, total surrender to God is the very establishment of the highest perfection. This is the essence of the Lord’s teachings.

Observance of regulatory principles (not having sex outside marriage, not eating meat, fish and egg, not consuming drugs and exciting products such as coffee, tea, alcohol, smoking, and playing games of chance and money), and various religions can be held to be a secret way, provided that religious rites are. The latter, however, cannot lead beyond meditation and the development of knowledge.

Surrender to Krishna, through devotional service dedicated to Krishna, in full Krishna consciousness or God consciousness, is the most secret, “confidential” teaching of God’s knowledge, and the essence of the final chapter “Perfect Renunciation”.
