What is Your Question?   My Spiritual Master Answers a Devotee     Question: Nothing to Do Beyond Knowing Krishna?

In Bhagavad-gita 4.9 Lord Krishna states: "One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna." If one knows as stated in this verse, does it mean that he has no thing further to do? Mukesh Doshi

Answer: If One Knows Krishna, He Surrenders

One who actually knows the transcendental nature of the appearance and activities of Krishna will naturally follow the instruction of Lord Krishna in Chapter 18, Text 66 of the Bhagavad-gita and fully surrender himself unto Lord Krishna. Such a surrendered devotee cannot remain idle even for a second. He fully absorbs himself in Krishna conscious activities as much as possible 24 hours a day. If a person has not surrendered to Krishna and is thus not always absorbed in serving Him, this is a clear indication that he has not yet understood the transcendental nature of Krishna's appearance and activities.
