“Being freed from attachment, fear and anger, being fully absorbed in Me and taking refuge in Me, many, many persons in the past became purified by knowledge of Me–and thus they all attained transcendental love for Me.” (Bg.4.10)

While beginning the path of spiritual knowledge, a person may wonder what is so special about it. Why try to be absorbed in God? Does it actually work? But herein Lord Krishna explains that this process is not new. There have been numerous persons in the past who have been successful. Of course, we may hear of the acharyas and spiritual teachers who have attained success and who have provided their teachings for others. But there are so many simple people who have been successful and returned to the spiritual domain that we have never heard of at all. And you may be next.

So we should have no doubt that if we really want to attain success on the path, this process of genuine spiritual knowledge and devotion to God is the easiest and most direct, which will be explained further as we move through this course. This knowledge and process will help you to understand God. By such insights and realizations many, many people have attained such spiritual fortune. Therefore, we need to pick up our enthusiasm to move forward knowing that we are following a path that many others have already traveled to the ultimate success in life.
