218 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 4

PURPORT

In his commentary to this verse, Srila Vigvanatha Cakravarti Thakura
uses the word durvijfieyam, which means very difficult to realize. The
pure stage of existence is described in Bhagavad-gita (7.28), wherein
Krsna says:

yesam tv anta-gatam papam
Jananam punya-karmanaém

te dvandva-moha-nirmukta
bhajante mam drdha-vratah

“Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life, whose
sinful actions are completely eradicated and who are freed from the
duality of delusion, engage themselves in My service with determina-
tion.”

Elsewhere in Bhagavad-gita (9.14) the Lord says:

satatam kirtayanto mam
yatantas ca drdha-vratah

namasyantas ca mam bhaktya
nitya-yukta updsate

“Always chanting My glories, endeavoring with great determination,
bowing down before Me, these great souls perpetually worship Me with
devotion.”

One can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead after tran-
scending all material impediments. Therefore Lord Krsna also says in the

Gita (7.3):

manusydnam sahasresu
kascid yatati siddhaye

yatatam api siddhanam
kascin mam vetti tattvatah

“Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection,
and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me in
truth.”
