Bhagavad-Gita 7.2

In the first verse of this chapter, Krishna says samagram mam, "you shall know me completely". In the second verse Krishna says, "having understood (this knowledge) there is nothing in this world left to know". If we combine the two verses together Krishna says, "knowing me completely, there is nothing in this world left to know."

In the previous six chapters of the Gita, Brahman; the unlimited, all pervasive, impersonal aspect of God, and Paramatma; the directing aspect of God situated in your heart, was described. This chapter starts with the understanding of Bhagavan; the aspect of God complete with full features.

To understand these three aspects of God a little deeper, consider the aspect of God as Brahman, the all pervasive impersonal omniscient being. This aspect has all the fundamental qualities of the base understanding of God, but without any connection to the spirit soul. The only part of Brahman that the soul can meditate on is the feeling of amazement and wonder. But God in the heart, Paramatma, expands the qualities of Brahman to those of awe and reverence. As Paramatma, God has all the qualities of Brahman and includes the qualities of a supreme being, who is the ultimate guide and protector. The aspect of God as Paramatma is a stage higher than Brahman, but missing the capability of interaction and sweetness. Bhagavan in turn, is the full understanding of God complete with all the qualities of Brahman and Paramatma, but with the inclusion of joyful interaction and a pleasing spiritual form. Here Srila Visvanatha Chakravarti Thakura says that jnanam is the Brahman and Paramatma aspect of God, where vijnanam is the sweetness, the Bhagavan aspect of God. So to add the first and second verses together we get a new combined translation as:

"Arjuna, now I shall give to you the knowledge and understanding of my opulence and my sweetness. With your mind fully absorbed in me (Bhagavan), you will be at the stage of realization of which there is nothing further in this world to understand."
