<span class="link">[[Vanisource:BG 10.11|BG 10.11, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">Sometimes Māyāvādī philosophers criticize the devotees because they think that most of the devotees are in the darkness of ignorance and are philosophically naive sentimentalists. Actually that is not the fact. There are very, very learned scholars who have put forward the philosophy of devotion. But even if a devotee does not take advantage of their literatures or of his spiritual master, if he is sincere in his devotional service he is helped by Kṛṣṇa Himself within his heart. So the sincere devotee engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness cannot be without knowledge. The only qualification is that one carry out devotional service in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness.</p><br />

<div id="BG1011_2" class="quote" parent="BG_Chapters_7_-_12" book="BG" index="102" link="BG 10.11" link_text="BG 10.11"><br />
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:BG 10.11|BG 10.11, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">Only by devotional service is the Supreme Truth, Kṛṣṇa, pleased, and by His inconceivable energy He can reveal Himself to the heart of the pure devotee. The pure devotee always has Kṛṣṇa within his heart; and with the presence of Kṛṣṇa, who is just like the sun, the darkness of ignorance is at once dissipated. This is the special mercy rendered to the pure devotee by Kṛṣṇa.</p><br />

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:BG 10.20|BG 10.20, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">In this verse Arjuna is addressed as Guḍākeśa, which means "one who has conquered the darkness of sleep." For those who are sleeping in the darkness of ignorance, it is not possible to understand how the Supreme Personality of Godhead manifests Himself in various ways in the material and spiritual worlds. Thus this address by Kṛṣṇa to Arjuna is significant. Because Arjuna is above such darkness, the Personality of Godhead agrees to describe His various opulences.</p><br />

The results of this mode are madness, indolence and sleep, which bind the conditioned soul.</p><br />

Bhagavad-gītā is not an ordinary book written by a poet or fiction writer; it is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Any person fortunate enough to hear these teachings from Kṛṣṇa or from His bona fide spiritual representative is sure to become a liberated person and get out of the darkness of ignorance.</p><br />
