Chapter 9 verse 2
“This knowledge is the king of sciences and the most profound of all secrets. It purifies those who hear it. It is directly realizable, in accordance with dharma, easy to practice, and everlasting in effect.”
Lord calls true devotion to Him as the king of sciences and secrets. Why “king of sciences-raja vidya”? What Krishna says is not part of a religion, dogma/belief/sect or doctrine. It is knowledge and wisdom-it is scientific to the point that this act of devotion is what takes the least energy from all beings to reach exalted state. Does not all beings try and reach the lowest energy state of existence in the scientific world? Is this not then the king of sciences? Why is it the “King of Secrets-raja guhyam”? Unless one seeks Him, the necessary conditions are not created for the true bhakti or devotion to occur in that being. Is it not? That’s why Divine is hidden in maya but is available at all times for those who seek Him. When this inner voice of bhakti is realized and heard, the person is already purified. Devotion/para bhakti is in line with sanatana dharma, easy to follow, easy to practice and is eternal in benefit. What else do we need? Then why is it so difficult for us to realize this?
