  1. Chapter 10Text 1-2 Opulence of Krsna. Unknown to even great sages & demigods.

  2. Text 1 çré-bhagavän uväca bhüya eva mahä-bäho çåëu me paramaà vacaù yat te 'haà préyamäëäya vakñyämi hita-kämyayä The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Listen again, O mighty-armed Arjuna. Because you are My dear friend, for your benefit I shall speak to you further, giving knowledge that is better than what I have already explained.

  3. Krsna speaks for benefit of His devotees. • The more one hears about the Supreme God, the more one becomes fixed in devotional service. • One should always hear about the Lord in the association of devotees; that will enhance one's devotional service. • The Lord clearly tells Arjuna that because Arjuna is very dear to Him, for his benefit such discourses are taking place.

  4. Text 2 na me viduù sura-gaëäù prabhavaà na maharñayaù aham ädir hi devänäà maharñéëäà ca sarvaçaù Neither the hosts of demigods nor the great sages know My origin or opulences, for, in every respect, I am the source of the demigods and sages.

  5. Krsna is source of demigods and sages. • From Krsna comes – Balaram – Four expansions of Vishnu forms namely Vasudeva, Sankarshan, Pradyumna & Aniruddha – from Sankarshan – Narayan form – from Narayan secondary quadruples – from secondary Sankarshan come Maha Vishnu – then Garbodakshayi Vishnu – Brahma – Prajapatis, sage, Manus etc.

  6. Krsna source of everyone • Here it is also stated by the Lord personally that He is the cause of all the demigods and sages. • No one can understand why this Supreme God comes to earth as an ordinary human being and executes such wonderful, uncommon activities. • Even the great demigods are not able to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

  7. Understanding Krsna • We can actually understand Kåñëa, who is eternal, full of bliss and knowledge, simply by studying His words in Bhagavad-gétä and Çrémad-Bhägavatam. • The conception of God as some ruling power or as the impersonal Brahman can be reached by persons who are in the inferior energy of the Lord, but the Personality of Godhead cannot be conceived unless one is in the transcendental position. • Only the devotees who are fully surrendered unto the Supreme Lord can understand, by the grace of the Supreme Personality, that He is Kåñëa.
