The Way of Chanting and Knowing Krsna 23

janma karma ca me divyam
evam yo vetti tattvatah

tyaktva deham punar janma
naiti mam eti so ’rjuna

“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.” (Bg. 4.9)

The mission for which Kyspa appears is here fur-
ther explained. When He comes with some mission,
there are some activities. Of course there are some
philosophers who do not believe that God comes as
an incarnation. They say, “Why should God come
to this rotten world?” But from Bhagavad-gita we
understand otherwise. We should always remember
that we read Bhagavad-gita as scripture, and what-
ever is spoken in Bhagavad-gita must be accepted,
otherwise there is no reason in reading it. In Gita
Krsna says that He has come as an incarnation with a
mission, and along with His mission there are some
activities. We can see, for example, that Krsna is ac-
tive as chariot-driver for Arjuna and engages in so
many activities on the battlefield of Kuruksetra. Just
as when there is war one person or nation may side
with another person or nation and show partiality,
Lord Krsna on the battlefield shows some partiality
and sides with Arjuna. Actually Krsna is not partial
to anyone, but externally it appears that He is par-
tial. This partiality, however, should not be accepted
in the ordinary sense.
