The Lord justly asks that each living being renounce all personal desires to cooperate with his own. To become one with the Supreme Lord is to unite your desires with your own, your interests with yours. This is the perfection of all desires.
Such are the secrets which enable the attainment of the highest perfection.
Lord Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, asks us to always remain aware of his Person, to be his devotees, to worship only Him alone, and to bow down before Him. Whoever does so will return to God, to his original abode, to the eternal kingdom of the Lord, without any doubt. The Lord declares that one must abandon all other occupations in order to surrender oneself fully to Him, and that He will grant all protection to such a devotee of his Person.
The Lord stands in the heart of every living being as a Supreme Soul and thus knows each other's thoughts, no one can act without knowing it. By his superior intelligence, He gives everyone the opportunity to fully satisfy their desires, and it is again He who grants the fruits of the deed.
It should be known that the austerity which makes it possible to see Krishna, the Divine Being in person, is none other than devotional service since one can only approach the Lord through such service accompanied by purely spiritual love.

According to the Lord, the holy being who wishes wholeheartedly to see the Lord, but while wanting to derive enjoyment from this world, is nothing other than a fool. Whoever wants to dwell here below in order to enjoy the pleasures of the material world will hardly worry about the eternal kingdom of God. Yet the Lord will bless such a righteous being of little understanding by taking away all that he has in this world, and if our fool tries to regain his material benefits, the merciful Lord will take them from him again. These repeated failures will eventually cause him to lose popularity with his friends and family, for it is true that in the material world, relatives and friends honor those who have brilliantly succeeded in making their fortunes no matter how. By the mercy of the Lord, the virtuous saint who shows lack of intelligence will therefore be led to a forced
