“At the end of many births, the wise person surrenders and merges in Me, realizing that Vasudeva is everything. Such a great soul is indeed rare to find.”
Commentary: Lord Krishna describes a rare and elevated spiritual soul. He says that after many births and much spiritual evolution, a wise soul eventually surrenders to God (Krishna). Such a soul recognizes the ultimate truth that Vasudeva, another name for Lord Krishna, is the Supreme Divine Being who pervades and encompasses everything in the universe..
After going through numerous lifetimes and gaining spiritual wisdom through various experiences, a highly evolved soul comprehends that the entire cosmos is interconnected and permeated by the divine Spirit. Such a soul is described as “mahātmā” (a great soul) and is considered very rare to find because reaching the highest level of spiritual understanding and surrender requires immense spiritual growth and insight. It signifies the culmination of the soul’s spiritual journey and its union with the Divine.
