evam yasyasi pandava
yena bhutany asesani
draksyasy atmany atho mayi …...Yajjnatwa = after understanding from the Acharya, na punar = never again, moham = the confused knowledge that atman is body, yasyasi = will attain. Yena = by acquiring this knowledge, asesana = without residue, bhutani = all living beings, atmani = as equal to you [Arjuna], drakshyasy = see or view. Not only that, atho mayi = even equal to Me [Sri Krishna]. So, by gaining this knowledge from Acharyas, we will not see others as male, female, animal or tree, but all as atman and equal to us.
4-35.Ramanuja’s Commentary..By learning this spiritual knowledge one will never be deluded again by maya or illusion which causes one to have the misconception that the atma or soul is the physical body and the notion of the ego consciousness of I-ness and my-ness that is produced thereby. Not by illusion but by the realisation of ones atma within and the consciousness that all beings in variegated forms all over creation possess this self same soul equally once they are divested from their individual designations and all souls are of a purly spiritual nature once they are disassociated from matter and all are a part of the Supreme Being which is identical to Lord Krishna. The nature of the atma is the essence and is equally the same in all beings as well as being equal with the nature of the Supreme Being. Thus when disassociated from matter one atma is non-different from another and possesses the attributes of the Supreme.

That is most sinned among sinners. The Gyana would navigate him from this ocean of sins. Sarvam = all, vrijinam = ocean of papa or sins, even if it is unsurmountable, plavana = the boat of, Gyana = knowledge, santarisyasi = navigate and reach ashore. So with the atman gyana boat one could cross the ocean of papa and reach to safety.
..4-36..Ramanuja’s Commentary..To emphasise the power of spiritual knowledge Lord Krishna specifically states in this verse that even the most incorrigible sinner is redeemed if changing their ways acquires and applies spiritual knowledge in their consciousness.

kalenatmani vindati…..Iha = here, na hi = without, jnanene = atman gyana, pavitram = sanctifies, na vidyate = not seen. Is this possible? Or, is Sri Krishna telling some impossible things? Tat = such an atman gyana, svayam = without external help, yoga samsiddha = a Karma yogi, kalena = during the course of time, vindati = attains, atmani = atman. No great efforts are needed but simply practice anyone of the Karma yoga, listed by Sri Krishna, continuously and without external aid, one’s own effort will yield atman sakshatkaram. Like a wind drifting the clouds hiding the Sun, Gyana of the Karma yoga will clear all our sins and make us to have vision of atman.
4-38Ramanuja’s Commentary..As in this world and all over the material creation there is nothing more purifying and sanctifying then the spiritual knowledge of atma tattva or soul realisation it is the destructive of all sin. Perfecting oneself by the easy practice of karma yoga or the following of prescribed Vedic activities in the manner instructed by the self-realised spiritual master one will naturally attain atma tattva as well in due course of time.

Jnanam labdva = after acquiring that knowledge, param shantim adi gacchati= reaches pinnacle of peace, acirena = within a short spam of time. Pinnacle of peace does not mean he is asleep or in deep meditation, but he is farther away from the worldly sorrows and happiness and nothing disturbs him. Earlier, Sri Krishna told that in the course of time, the person practicing Karma yoga would get atman sakshatkaram. Arjuna got doubt whether that would take long time. Here it is answered that it will be short, though not immediate. ..

4-39..Ramanuja’s Commentary..Receiving knowledge by instructions of the spiritual master becoming more and more devoted and evolved as the process develops and becoming more and more detached from external affairs away from where the sense objects are exerting there influence one will invariably reach the pinnacle of wisdom and attain moksa or liberation from the material existence.
