Surrender To Him Completely (18.62)🔗

Kṛṣṇa switches gears and starts giving Arjuna the experience. He starts radiating eternal consciousness. He is putting Arjuna into that consciousness, into the experience of enlightenment.

Just relax for a few minutes. Relax from all the thoughts and ideas. There is a possibility that you may experience what Arjuna experienced by the grace of Kṛṣṇa.

Throughout Bhagavad Gītā, Śrī Kṛṣṇa has been saying–surrender to Me. Now, suddenly, He changes that and says surrender unto Him (*tam*) as a third person. Kṛṣṇa says 'Surrender unto Him, tam eva śaranaṁ gaccha (18.62)', since He has expanded beyond the body and He cannot use the word 'Me'.

He now speaks as Parabrahma Kṛṣṇa, the universal Kṛṣṇa. So, He says surrender unto Him and not surrender unto Me. He is in an expanded state to put Arjuna into the experience. In order to give a disciple the experience, the Master must be in the same state, too. He has expanded into that Consciousness and is about to give energy darśan. He is ready to shower His energy on Arjuna.
