yo mām evam asammūḍho jānāti puruṣottamam sa sarva-vid bhajati māṁ sarva-bhāvena bhārata
"One who, undeluded, thus knows Me as the Supreme Person—that one, knowing all, worships Me with whole being, O Bharata."
What This Means:
One who is not deluded and truly knows Krishna as Purushottama (Supreme Person)—that person knows everything essential and worships God with their entire being.
Going Deeper:
'Asammūḍhaḥ'—undeluded, free from confusion. 'Evam mām jānāti Puruṣottamam'—knows Me thus as Supreme Person. 'Sarva-vit'—knower of all (knowing this, one knows all that matters). 'Bhajati māṁ sarva-bhāvena'—worships Me with whole being. This knowledge isn't academic—it transforms into total devotion. Knowing Purushottama leads to worshipping with every aspect of one's existence.
How To Apply This:
True understanding of God's supreme nature naturally becomes whole-hearted devotion. If your understanding remains merely intellectual, it's incomplete. Let knowledge become love, and love become all-consuming worship.
