Krishna discloses to Arjuna how all beings find their existence in him (9:4-8).
He reveals his self, although independent and aloof, as that which pervades, creates and annihilates the entire cosmos through his material energy (9:9-10).
This awareness is recommended as a way to remember him in all circumstances. Krishna affirms that he will take care of his devotees, compensate for their deficiencies, and preserve their strength. And all he asks of his devotees is an offering of a leaf, a flower, or some water - if it is offered with devotion (9:26).
Even if a devotee unintentionally commits a dreadful sin, he will be rectified, for Krishna promises that his devotee will never perish (9:30).

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life.

•Result of such dedication of activities
The Lord says that who ever offer Him with love and devotion even water, a leaf, awho ever offer Him with love and devotion even water, a leaf, a
flower or a fruit He acceptsflower or a fruit He accepts it. He is not concerned with the quality of the article
offered to Him by the devotees, for He watches only their motive and devotiontheir motive and devotion.

1. Here Lord Krishna is stressing
the need to be non-envious..
2. This raja vidya is bhakti, which we are about to hear
about.
Gita - Chapter 9 -.Outline of section " A "
Nonenviousness gives one the qualification to hear confidential knowledge, and
faithlessness disqualifies one and forces one to fall down and take repeated birth and death
3. Th€kura says that Arjuna asks that if it is
so nice then why are so many people in
samsara. So Krishna explains — they have no
faith.
enviousness means to find fault,
even in the midst of good qualities.
Such a person should not be
taught this knowledge.
7.2.
What are they not faithful about? The process
of devotion. So they cannot take to the simple
process of devotion. They want some other
process..

1. Worshippers of the universal form.
Even though such people are not well
situated, still the ideas presented here
can help us become “mayy asakta
manah.” ((9.9.16-19)16-19)
Universal form of the Lord
2. More about demigod worship. They should really worship Krishna, and
if they don’t they will fall down ((9.9.20-25)20-25)
19: "Since Krishna is both matter and
spirit, the gigantic universal form
comprising all material
manifestations is also Krishna
9.9.20-21.20-21. The temporary nature of demigod worship is explained. In verse 20
the sins they become purified of are those which could take them to hell. But
they do not become fully purified.
What is the final achievement: repeated birth and death
Gita - Chapter 9 -.Outline of section
9.9.22.22. Even though we usually understand that Krishna has no work to perform — He
leaves that up to Visnu — still He is prepared to work for His pure devotees.
9.9.23.23. Then back to the demigod worshippers.
They are indirectly worshipping Krishna, but in a wrong way.
9.9.24.24. So, as usually happens when one does something in the wrong way, they fall
down.
9.9.25.25. Different destinations of different worshippers. Of course those who don’t
worship Krishna will fall down, if they haven’t already.

Krishna (26-34)
1. Krsna requests that one worship Him with
devotion, even using a leaf, a fruit, a flower, or
some water. Or one can offer Krishna the
austerities and charities he performs. Such
offerings will free one from all reaction to work.
With one's mind thus fixed on Krishna, the
worshiper will come to Krishna. (26-28) ]
2. A devotee, even if committing a horrible
activity, is to be considered saintly and
quickly becomes righteous. Krishna then
asks Arjuna to declare it boldly that His
devotee is never vanquished. (29-31)
3. By thinking of Krishna etc, regardless of
one’s position materially one will come to Him.
(32-34)
Gita - Chapter 9 -.Outline of sections
26. Pure devotional service.
Very simple — one leaf, one fruit etc.
27.whatever you are going to do anyway, but do
it for me. This is sakama bhakti..
28. In these ways the simplicity of devotional
service is shown.
(26-28) ]
(29-31) ]
29. The first part of this verse shows how
Supersoul relates with the karmis.
The second part shows how Bhagavan relates
with the devotees.
30. There are 3 possible understandings to
this verse:Just talking of the possibility of an
impossible situation to make a point.
If one is sinful before coming to Krishna
consciousness, his past shouldn’t be
considered when he is a devotee.If sin is
actually performed in devotional service.
32. Devotional service to purify, despite great
impurity being there.Bhakti is to potent.
Bhakti is to potent
33. So it is even easier for the pious, elevated
people.
34. The first thing is one should fix the mind
on Krishna, not just work, work, work. That is
what these courses are about.
This verse is the essence of all confidential
knowledge. It is exactly in the middle of the
Bhagavad gita. This is the 'most confidential
knowledge.
