We are all coming from the same basic source. Whatever we see around us, it is not very difficult to understand how it came into existence, from where it came into existence and who put it into existence. To be transcendental means to go beyond the illusory conditions of relativity. Transcendental knowledge is knowledge which reawakens our natural innate understanding of Krishna, who is the source of all that exists. This is a relative world because everything’s existence is dependent on its relationship with something else. The Lord clearly tells Arjuna that because Arjuna is very dear to Him, for his benefit such discourses are taking place. Others cannot take part in such discourses. Discourses in the society of devotees can take place only among those who are really anxious to be in Krishna consciousness. One should always hear about the Lord in the association of devotees that will enhance one’s devotional service. The more one hears about the Supreme God, the more one becomes fixed in devotional service. He tells Arjuna about His manifestations and various opulences. In this chapter of Gita, He explains His specific opulences to Arjuna. Previously, beginning with the seventh chapter, the Lord has already explained His different energies and how they are acting. Now Krishna instructs Arjuna in more confidential knowledge of His opulences and His work.
