PURPORT
This verse of Bhagavad-gitd (10.10) clearly states how Govindadeva instructs His
bona fide devotee. The Lord declares that by enlightenment in theistic knowledge
He awards attachment for Him to those who constantly engage in His transcendental
loving service. This awakening of divine consciousness enthralls a devotee, who
thus relishes his eternal transcendental mellow. Such an awakening is awarded only
to those convinced by devotional service about the transcendental nature of the
Personality of Godhead. They know that the Supreme Truth, the all-spiritual and
all-powerful person, is one without a second and has fully transcendental senses.
He is the fountainhead of all emanations. Such pure devotees, always merged in
knowledge of Krsna and absorbed in Krsna consciousness, exchange thoughts and
realizations as great scientists exchange their views and discuss the results of their
research in scientific academies. Such exchanges of thoughts in regard to Krsna give
pleasure to the Lord, who therefore favors such devotees with all enlightenment.
