 Srimad Bhagavadgeeta :

 Chapter-7. ( Jnana vijnana yogam )

 Slokam-17. ( If Jnani is the dearest, then what about the other three types 

 such as Aathan and so...)

Udharaah sarvva evaite jnanitvaatmaiva me matam
Aasthitah sa hi yuktatma mamevanuttamam ghatim.

Ete sarvva udhrah eva       =       All these people are superior and best,

 Tu jnani atma eva               =        But Jnani and me ( Lord ) are not two separate persns,

 Me matam                              =        My opinion.

 Hi                                               =       Why because,

 Sah yuktatma                        =         He is with his mind fixed in me,

 Anuttamam ghatim             =        The supreme support ( me, Lord) ,

 Mam eva Aasthita                =         Fully united ( dissolved ) in me.

The Jnani who has obtained the experience ( All fully Brahmam ) are very few, but do not loose confidence on hearing my statement. The aim of this statement is not to discourage the seekers, this is understood by using common sense. By comparing total count of world living population, human beings are very less. Among human beings mentally and intelligintly developed count is not much! Those who have gained development in mind and intelligence, are all need not to be interested in Spirituality, Truth and scientific study of Scriptures. Among them those who follow scientific study of Spiritual texts superficially satisfied ( assuming understood), but no one brings this knowledge into practice. Now it is clear that the knowledge gained, is not followed sincerely and do not hard work, to achieve the supreme tatvam ( principle) of Paramatma .
Ancient Rishies knew that the life's ( Jeevatma ) development from finite to infinite, is very slow. In the flow of time, various experiences and situations refine the individual from drawbacks, vices, wrongs, shortages, this takes many thousand years. It ( Jeevatma ) needs many births / rebirths to wipe the ignorance and experience the pure "Jnanam" (Jeevatma and Paramatma are not two, but are one). 
It does not mean that those who follow the path of Atmeeyam at present not experience Atmanubuthi ( Bliss ) . Meaning of this is to encourage the seekers not to delay their Sadhana ( Abhiyasam/practice ) and move forward : this is what Lord Krishna tells to Arjuna. Leading present life depending on Vishayas { sensuous pleasures,(few seconds experience ..) }, continuing this way is not holy, there is a Supreme goal ahead to achieve, those intelligent seekers who have the ability to grasp the teachings of Upanishads and respect them, follow them, slowly almost reached the spot of the Sreekovil ( holiness) of Paramatma. Now if sincerely (with conscious of the goal), put little more effort attain the goal of connecting/uniting with Paramatma.

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-5. Part-5.( Last Part)

5: God is Our Eternal Friend-5. ( Last Part ) We are filled with doubts in our minds—we can prepare a dictionary of all our doubts—they are endless. Everywhere we have a suspicious attitude about the world, about things, about people, about ourselves, about the past, about the present, and about the future. These doubts cannot be dispelled until knowledge arises, and we know what knowledge means, an insight into which we have been given in the second chapter of the Gita. Knowledge is the knowledge of God ultimately, and as a result, knowledge of the nature of the world in its reality, as mentioned in the third chapter. This is true knowledge, and when we are awakened to this real knowledge, all doubts get dispelled. Then what happens? Atmavantam—we become truly possessed of the Self that we really are. We are people who have lost ourselves and are in pursuit of things outside. Yes, this is what has happened; we have grasped the world and lost our own selves, and we are

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavad gita : Ch-10. Part-3.

Chapter 10: The Imperishable Among All that is Perishable : Part-3. We are told in the Puranas that Narayana or Vishnu takes incarnations for the preservation of creation. Vishnu is regarded as yajna itself. It is the highest sacrifice—God sacrificing himself every moment of time for the sustenance of His creation. As adhiyajna He is the administrative power and the methodology of the working of the cosmos. All activity is comprehended under this yajna of the cosmos. Therefore God is present in all activity when it is considered as a passage to God, when it is regarded as a manifestation of God as rays emanating from the sun. Those wise souls who envisage God as adhibhuta, adhidaiva and adhiyajna, which means to say, who encounter God as a comprehensive Absolute and not merely existing only here or there, such devotees are true knowers. They can entertain or maintain this consciousness even at the time of passing from this world—they are not deprived of th

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-9. Part-8.

9: The Unity of the Lover and the Beloved : Part-8. The distressed souls seeking God are of one type. One who is baked in the fire of samsaram,who is tortured in this hell of earth, suffering through various sorrows, seeks riddance from the grief of the world by resort to God under the impression that God is like a parent—a father or a mother or a supreme saviour. The intention behind this devotion is redress—freedom from sorrow, the inability to bear suffering. This is the reason here behind the devotion to God. Whether this could be an adequate reason, anyone can contemplate independently for oneself. Can we love God merely because He is the only source of redemption from our sorrows? Do we want freedom from sorrow, or do we want God? That is a different question that will come up later on. Swami Krishnananda To be continued  ....
