Detailed Meaning
This verse concludes the essence of the Purushottama Yoga. It establishes that while God manifests as Brahman (impersonal) and Paramatma (localized), the realization of 'Bhagavan' or 'Purushottama' (the Supreme Person) is the most complete. A person who transcends the delusion of the material world and the partial understanding of the Divine becomes 'sarva-vid' (all-knowing). This knowledge is not mere intellectual data but leads to 'sarva-bhāvena'—a total, heart-centered devotion where every thought, word, and deed is an offering to the Divine. Jagadguru Kripaluji Maharaj explains that in the Bhagavan form, all energies, virtues, and pastimes (Leelas) are fully manifested, making it the highest realization.
