One can understand Me as I am, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, only by devotional service. And when one is in full consciousness of Me by such devotion, he can enter into the kingdom of God.
Osoba Me može spoznati kao Svevišnju Božansku Osobu samo predanim služenjem. Kad zahvaljujući takvoj predanosti postane potpuno svjesna Mene, može ući u Božje carstvo.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, and His plenary portions cannot be understood by mental speculation nor by the nondevotees. If anyone wants to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he has to take to pure devotional service under the guidance of a pure devotee. Otherwise, the truth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead will always be hidden. As already stated in Bhagavad-gītā (7.25), nāhaṁ prakāśaḥ sarvasya: He is not revealed to everyone. No one can understand God simply by erudite scholarship or mental speculation. Only one who is actually engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and devotional service can understand what Kṛṣṇa is. University degrees are not helpful.
SMISAO: Svevišnja Božanska Osoba Kṛṣṇa i Njegove potpune ekspanzije ne mogu se shvatiti umnom spekulacijom. Osobe koje nisu bhakte ne mogu ih shvatiti. Ako netko želi shvatiti Svevišnju Božansku Osobu, mora se posvetiti čistom predanom služenju pod vodstvom čistog bhakte. Inače će istina o Svevišnjoj Božanskoj Osobi uvijek ostati skrivena. Kao što je bilo rečeno u dvadeset petom stihu sedmoga poglavlja – nāhaṁ prakāśaḥ sarvasya: Bog se ne otkriva svakome. Nitko ne može shvatiti Boga samom učenošću ili umnom spekulacijom. Samo onaj tko postupa svjesno Kṛṣṇe i predano služi može shvatiti tko je Kṛṣṇa. Sveučilišne diplome ne mogu mu pomoći.
One who is fully conversant with the Kṛṣṇa science becomes eligible to enter into the spiritual kingdom, the abode of Kṛṣṇa. Becoming Brahman does not mean that one loses his identity. Devotional service is there, and as long as devotional service exists, there must be God, the devotee, and the process of devotional service. Such knowledge is never vanquished, even after liberation. Liberation involves getting free from the concept of material life; in spiritual life the same distinction is there, the same individuality is there, but in pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness. One should not mistakenly think that the word viśate, “enters into Me,” supports the monist theory that one becomes homogeneous with the impersonal Brahman. No. Viśate means that one can enter into the abode of the Supreme Lord in one’s individuality to engage in His association and render service unto Him. For instance, a green bird enters a green tree not to become one with the tree but to enjoy the fruits of the tree. Impersonalists generally give the example of a river flowing into the ocean and merging. This may be a source of happiness for the impersonalist, but the personalist keeps his personal individuality like an aquatic in the ocean. We find so many living entities within the ocean, if we go deep. Surface acquaintance with the ocean is not sufficient; one must have complete knowledge of the aquatics living in the ocean depths.
Onaj tko je potpuno upućen u nauk o Kṛṣṇi postaje dostojan ulaska u duhovno carstvo, Kṛṣṇino prebivalište. Postati Brahman ne znači izgubiti svoju osobnost. Predano služenje postoji i sve dok postoji predano služenje, moraju postojati Bog, bhakta i proces predanog služenja. Takvo se znanje nikada ne gubi, čak ni nakon oslobođenja. Oslobođenje podrazumijeva oslobađanje od materijalnog shvaćanja života. U duhovnom životu postoji ista razlika, ista osobnost, ali u čistoj svjesnosti Kṛṣṇe. Ne bismo trebali pogrešno misliti da riječ viśate, „ulazi u Mene", podržava monističku teoriju prema kojoj se živo biće stapa s neosobnim Brahmanom. Ne. Viśate znači da kao osoba može ući u prebivalište Svevišnjeg Gospodina kako bi se družila s Njim i služila Ga. Na primjer, zelena ptica ulazi u krošnju zelenog drveta ne da bi se stopila s drvetom, već da bi uživala u plodovima drveta. Impersonalisti obično navode primjer rijeke koja se ulijeva u ocean i stapa s njim. To može biti izvor sreće za impersonaliste, ali personalisti zadržavaju svoju osobnost poput vodene životinje u oceanu. Ako zaronimo duboko u ocean, naći ćemo mnogo živih bića. Nije dovoljno upoznati samo površinu oceana; moramo imati potpuno znanje o vodenim bićima koja žive u dubinama oceana.
Because of his pure devotional service, a devotee can understand the transcendental qualities and the opulences of the Supreme Lord in truth. As it is stated in the Eleventh Chapter, only by devotional service can one understand. The same is confirmed here; one can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead by devotional service and enter into His kingdom.
Zahvaljujući čistom predanom služenju, bhakta može istinski shvatiti transcendentalne odlike i obilja Svevišnjeg Gospodina. U jedanaestom poglavlju bilo je rečeno da se ona mogu shvatiti samo predanim služenjem. To je ovdje potvrđeno; predanim služenjem osoba može shvatiti Svevišnjega Gospodina i ući u Njegovo carstvo.
After attainment of the brahma-bhūta stage of freedom from material conceptions, devotional service begins by one’s hearing about the Lord. When one hears about the Supreme Lord, automatically the brahma-bhūta stage develops, and material contamination – greediness and lust for sense enjoyment – disappears. As lust and desires disappear from the heart of a devotee, he becomes more attached to the service of the Lord, and by such attachment he becomes free from material contamination. In that state of life he can understand the Supreme Lord. This is the statement of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam also. After liberation the process of bhakti, or transcendental service, continues. The Vedānta-sūtra (4.1.12) confirms this: ā-prāyaṇāt tatrāpi hi dṛṣṭam. This means that after liberation the process of devotional service continues. In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, real devotional liberation is defined as the reinstatement of the living entity in his own identity, his own constitutional position. The constitutional position is already explained: every living entity is a part-and-parcel fragmental portion of the Supreme Lord. Therefore his constitutional position is to serve. After liberation, this service is never stopped. Actual liberation is getting free from misconceptions of life.
Nakon što dostigne brahma-bhūta razinu oslobođenja od materijalnih shvaćanja, počinje predano služiti slušajući o Gospodinu. Slušajući o Svevišnjoj Božanskoj Osobi, samim tim dostiže brahma-bhūta razinu postojanja i oslobađa se materijalnih nečistoća – pohlepe i požude za osjetilnim uživanjem. S iščezavanjem požude i želje iz srca bhakta postaje sve više privržen služenju Gospodina. Zahvaljujući takvoj privrženosti biva oslobođen materijalnih nečistoća. U tom stanju života može shvatiti Svevišnjega Gospodina. To je također izjava Śrīmad-Bhāgavatama. Nakon oslobođenja, proces se transcendentalnoga služenja, bhakti, nastavlja. Vedānta-sūtra (4.1.12) to potvrđuje: ā-prāyaṇāt tatrāpi hi dṛṣṭam. To znači da se nakon oslobođenja proces predanog služenja nastavlja. U Śrīmad-Bhāgavatamu pravo je oslobođenje živoga bića, utemeljeno na predanosti, definirano kao ponovno stjecanje vlastitog identiteta, vlastitoga prirodnog položaja. Taj je prirodni položaj već bio objašnjen: svako je živo biće odvojeni djelić Svevišnjega Gospodina. Zato je njegov prirodni položaj služenje. Nakon oslobođenja, to služenje nikada ne prestaje. Pravo oslobođenje je oslobođenje od pogrešnih životnih shvaćanja.
