72 Raja-vidya: The King of Knowledge
is given in Bhaguvad-gita as surrender to Krsna
(bahinam janmanam ante jianavan mam prapadyate)
(Bg. 7.19). The jrianavan, not the fool, surrenders
unto Krsna, and that is the highest stage of knowl-
edge. Similarly, at the end of Bhagavad-gita Sri
Krsna advises Arjuna:
sarva-dharman parit yajya
mam ekam saranam vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah
“Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender
unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction.
Do not fear.” (Bg. 18.66)

This is the most confidential part of knowledge.
From all points of view, if we make an analytical
study of the Vedic literatures, we will find that
the ultimate summit of knowledge is to surrender
unto Krsna. And what type of surrender is recom-
mended? Surrender in full knowledge—when one
comes to the perfectional point he must understand
that Vasudeva, Krsna,is everything. This is also
confirmed in Brahma-samhita:

isvarah paramah krsnah
sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah
anadir adir govindah
sarva-karana-karanam
“Krsna, who is known as Govinda, is the Supreme
Godhead. He has an eternal, blissful, spiritual body.
He is the origin of all. He has no other origin, and
He is the prime cause of all causes.” (Brahma-samhita,
5.1)
