Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

The means to acquire atma tattva or soul realisation is being stated here:
How is this knowledge to be acquired? Lord Krishna reveals it is by
inquiry. Inquire from a self-realised being by falling submissively at his
feet just like a stick before him. Questions should be asked like. What is
the goal of human existence and how is it possible to attain it? One should
render humble and sincere service to this self-realised being because this
person has realised the ultimate truth, fully steeped in the knowledge of
the Vedic scriptures, of the Brahman or the spiritual substratum pervading
all existence and the intuitive potency which manifests along with it. Such
a person will magnanimously instruct one in attaining the ultimate truth.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Although Arjuna is considered a man of wisdom properly raised  and  educated
in the Vedic culture, still illusion has  entered  his  consciousness.  This
was highlighted in verse sixteen where the words yat jnatva  meaning  having
understood were used to instruct Arjuna.

Now begins the summation.

Since spiritual wisdom will be revealed in detail in later chapters Lord
Krishna now begins speaking briefly about the nature of it here.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

One should know that this spiritual knowledge relative to the atma or soul
propounded by Lord Krishna to be imperishable. One should learn this well
and advance themselves along the path by diligently acquiring wisdom and
more by submissively approaching realised beings who have realised the
ultimate truth. One should render sincere, dedicated service to them with
veneration and humility asking relevant questions about the ultimate truth.
These being so advanced in atma tattva or soul realisation have experienced
the ultimate reality and being pleased by ones humble demeanour and
reverent questions will bless one with divine knowledge which they possess
and will impart the transcendental knowledge one is so eager and
enthusiastic to learn. If one has not practically realised there atma which
is an act of actual perception and situates one in their true nature then
such talk about it is merely a hypothesis.
