bahūnāṃ janmanām ante jñānavān māṃ prapadyate |
vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ || 19 ||
Translation
At the end of many births, the enlightened one takes refuge in Me, realising that ‘Vasudeva is everything’— It is very hard to find such a great-person.
Purport
In earlier three Shlokas Bhagvan Shri Krishna explained different kinds of people worshipping God and a devoted enlightened one is the best.
But for a human to have such a pure and enlightened state is difficult and achieved after several births in many cases. A human hence required to start into devotion at some point in time cause each single efforts in the path of devotion to bring the devotee closer to Shri Krishna. Sooner or later that devotee achieves the state where he is unified with God, becomes Shri Krishna’s own self. This fact is duly explained in Ch6.
