Chapter 7: Jñāna-vijñāna-yoga: – Knowledge and its Actualization - Verse 2
Ma Gurupriya
Commentary
Krishna has already spoken enough and Arjuna has ample material now to assimilate and express during his life and interactions. But Krishna wants his disciple to perfect whatever knowledge he has gained, so that he would be a model Knower, a heroic fighter!
Seekers in general are satisfied by meditational absorption, wherein they get abundant delight and hence fulfilment too. But this is only a tip of the iceberg, points Krishna.
None can deny or escape the complex world in which he lives and moves. It is undoubtedly endless. How can such endlessness be? What could be its source? To associate with something, the source of which is elusive, is not compatible with human rationality.
That is why Krishna feels enthused to enrich Arjuna’s knowledge and its experiential affirmation. Chapters seven to eleven are on the objective resourcefulness of the subject Self.
