Surrender unto Krishna,

Not to Any Other Obscure Concept

 

Accept the Words of Bhagvan Sri Krishna and Surrender unto Him for Deliverance

In the Bhagavad-gita, Lord Krishna stresses in many verses that He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But despite Lord Krishna's stressing this point, many so-called scholars and commentators still deny the personal conception of the Lord. One famous scholar wrote in his commentary on the Bhagavad-gita that one does not have to surrender to Lord Krishna or even accept Him as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but that one should rather surrender to "the Supreme within Krishna."

Such persons cannot be elevated to the highest stage of love of Godhead. They may be scholarly, and they may be elevated in other departments of knowledge, but they are not even neophytes in the process of attaining the highest stage of perfection, love of Godhead. Nistha implies that one should accept the words of Bhagavad-gita, the words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as they are, without any deviation or nonsensical commentary.
