Meaning: Endowed with such a faith, he endeavors to worship a particular demigod and obtains his desires. But in actuality these benefits are bestowed by Me alone.

Meaning: I am in everyone’s heart as the Supersoul. As soon as one desires to worship some demigod, I make his faith steady so that he can devote himself to that particular deity.

*** The Supreme Personality of Godhead as Supersoul is present within the heart of the demigod; therefore He arranges through the demigod to fulfill the desire of the living entity. But both the demigod and the living entity are dependent on the supreme will. They are not independent. As per instruction given in Bhagavad-gita, one should give up all other engagements and fully surrender unto him. This will make man happy.

Meaning: Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures.

*** A pure devotee never goes to demigods for satisfaction of his material needs.He depends on the Supreme Lord, And the pure devotee is satisfied with whatever He gives.

Meaning: After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.

*** In this body there are powers of speaking, of seeing, of hearing, of mental activities, etc. But these are not important if not related to the Supreme Lord. And because vasudeva(God) is all-pervading and everything is Vasudeva(God), the devotee surrenders in full knowledge.

Meaning: All these devotees are undoubtedly magnanimous souls, but he who is situated in knowledge of Me I consider to be just like My own self. Being engaged in My transcendental service, he is sure to attain Me, the highest and most perfect goal.

*** The devotees are always in My heart, and I am always in the hearts of the devotees. The devotee does not know anything beyond Me, and  I also cannot forget the devotee. There is a very intimate relationship between Me and the pure devotees. Pure devotees in full knowledge are never out of spiritual touch, and therefore they are very much dear to Me.
