vidura uvaca
safichinnah samsayo mahyam
tava suktasina vibho
ubhayatrapi bhagavan
mano me sampradhavati

sri vidurah uvaca— Sri Vidura said; safchinnah—cut off; samsayah—
doubts; mahyam—unto me; tava—your; sukta-asina—by the weapon of
convincing words; vibho—O my lord; ubhayatra-api— both in God and the
living entity; bhagavan—O powerful one; manah—mind; me—my; sampra-
dhavati—perfectly getting in.

TRANSLATION

Vidura said: O powerful sage, my lord, all my doubts about the
Supreme Personality of Godhead and the living entities have now been
removed by your convincing words. My mind is now perfectly entering
into them.

PURPORT

The science of Krsna, or the science of God and the living entities, is so
subtle that even a personality like Vidura has to consult persons like the
sage Maitreya. Doubts about the eternal relationship of the Lord and the
living entity are created by mental speculators in different ways, but
the conclusive fact is that the relationship of God and the living entity is
one of the predominator and the predominated. The Lord is the eternal
predominator, and the living entities are eternally predominated. Real
knowledge of this relationship entails reviving the lost consciousness to
this standard, and the process for such revival is devotional service to the
Lord. By clearly understanding from authorities like the sage Maitreya,
one can become situated in real knowledge, and the disturbed mind can
thus be fixed on the progressive path.
