This means that one has to understand Kṛṣṇa not directly but through the medium of the spiritual master. The spiritual master is the transparent medium, although it is true that the experience is direct. This is the mystery of the disciplic succession. When the spiritual master is bona fide, then one can hear #i#Bhagavad-gītā#/i# directly, as Arjuna heard it. There are many mystics and #i#yogīs#/i# all over the world, but Kṛṣṇa is the master of all #i#yoga#/i# systems. Kṛṣṇa's instruction is explicitly stated in #i#Bhagavad-gītā-#/i#surrender unto Krṣṇa. One who does so is the topmost #i#yogī#/i#. This is confirmed in the last verse of the Sixth Chapter. #i#Yoginām api sarveṣām#/i#. #$p#Nārada is the direct disciple of Kṛṣṇa and the spiritual master of Vyāsa. Therefore Vyāsa is as bona fide as Arjuna because he comes in the disciplic succession, and Sañjaya is the direct disciple of Vyāsa. Therefore by the grace of Vyāsa, his senses were purified, and he could see and hear Kṛṣṇa directly. One who directly hears Kṛṣṇa can understand this confidential knowledge. If one does not come to the disciplic succession, he cannot hear Kṛṣṇa; therefore his knowledge is always imperfect, at least as far as understanding #i#Bhagavad-gītā#/i# is concerned. #$p#In #i#Bhagavad-gītā#/i#, all the #i#yoga#/i# systems, #i#karma-yoga, jñāna-yoga#/i# and #i#bhakti-yoga#/i#, are explained. Kṛṣṇa is the master of all such mysticism. It is to be understood, however, that as Arjuna was fortunate enough to understand Kṛṣṇa directly, similarly, by the grace of Vyāsa, Sañjaya was also able to hear Kṛṣṇa directly. Actually there is no difference in hearing directly from Kṛṣṇa or hearing directly from Kṛṣṇa via a bona fide spiritual master like Vyāsa. The spiritual master is the representative of Vyāsadeva also. According to the Vedic system, on the birthday of the spiritual master, the disciples conduct the ceremony called #i#Vyāsa-pūjā#/i#. #/p# #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXT_75"#TEXT 75#/span##/h4# #div class="devanagari"# #dl##dd#व्यासप्रसादाच्छ्रुतवानेतद्गुह्यमहं परम् ।#/dd# #dd#योगं योगेश्वरात्कृष्णात्साक्षात्कथयतः स्वयम् ॥७५॥#/dd##/dl# #/div# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#vyāsa-prasādāc chrutavān#/dd# #dd#etad guhyam ahaṁ param#/dd# #dd#yogaṁ yogeśvarāt kṛṣṇāt#/dd# #dd#sākṣāt kathayataḥ svayam#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #p##i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=vyāsa&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#vyāsa-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=prasādāt&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#prasādāt#/i# — by the mercy of Vyāsadeva; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=śrutavān&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#śrutavān#/i# — have heard; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=etat&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#etat#/i# — this; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=guhyam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#guhyam#/i# — confidential; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=aham&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#aham#/i# — I; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=param&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#param#/i# — the supreme; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=yogam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#yogam#/i# — mysticism; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=yoga&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#yoga-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=īśvarāt&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#īśvarāt#/i# — from the master of all mysticism; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=kṛṣṇāt&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#kṛṣṇāt#/i# — from Kṛṣṇa; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=sākṣāt&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#sākṣāt#/i# — directly; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=kathayataḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#kathayataḥ#/i# — speaking; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=svayam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#svayam#/i# — personally. #/p# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TRANSLATION"#TRANSLATION#/span##/h4# #div class="translation"# #p#By the mercy of Vyāsa, I have heard these most confidential talks directly from the master of all mysticism, Kṛṣṇa, who was speaking personally to Arjuna. #/p# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="PURPORT"#PURPORT#/span##/h4# #div class="purport"# #p#Vyāsa was the spiritual master of Sañjaya, and Sañjaya admits that it was by Vyāsa's mercy that he could understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
