Krishna said to Arjuna: I will tell you how you can know me without any doubt. Focus your mind on me and practice complete surrender. When this wisdom I am revealing is fully known to you, nothing else will remain to be known. Out of thousands of people, only one strives for perfection. Of those who strive for perfection, and even of those who have achieved perfection, only one knows the truth.
