>>> To say something like, "I'm not

>>> interested in Vishnu-bhakti, only Krishna bhakti" sounds ludicrous to me.

>>i wouldn't go so far as to say i'm not 'interested' in vishnu bhakti, but

>>i'm certainly not pursuing it - i'm pursuing Krishna.

 

BG 18.65 PURPORT

The most confidential part of knowledge is that one should become a pure

devotee of Krsna and always think of Him and act for Him. One should not become

an official meditator. Life should be so molded that one will always have the

chance to think of Krsna. One should always act in such a way that all his

daily activities are in connection with Krsna. He should arrange his life in

such a way that throughout the twenty-four hours he cannot but think of Krsna.

And the Lord's promise is that anyone who is in such pure Krsna consciousness

will certainly return to the abode of Krsna, where he will be engaged in the

association of Krsna face to face. This most confidential part of knowledge is

spoken to Arjuna because he is the dear friend of Krsna. Everyone who follows

the path of Arjuna can become a dear friend to Krsna and obtain the same

perfection as Arjuna.

These words stress that one should concentrate his mind upon Krsna--the

very form with two hands carrying a flute, the bluish boy with a beautiful face

and peacock feathers in His hair. There are descriptions of Krsna found in the

Brahma-samhita and other literatures. One should fix his mind on this original

form of Godhead, Krsna. One should not even divert his attention to other forms

of the Lord. The Lord has multiforms as Visnu, Narayana, Rama, Varaha, etc.,

but a devotee should concentrate his mind on the form that was present before

Arjuna. Concentration of the mind on the form of Krsna constitutes the most

confidential part of knowledge, and this is disclosed to Arjuna because Arjuna

is the most dear friend of Krsna's.
