A mother knows what her child's cry means — not from a textbook, but from the heart. The knowing Krishna speaks of here is that kind: not intellectual analysis but deep, felt understanding. Whoever truly grasps that My birth and actions are divine — not ordinary, not forced by karma — that person, upon leaving the body, is not born again. He comes to Me.

This is not casual knowledge. It is the kind of understanding that transforms a person from the inside. When someone sees Krishna's incarnation as a divine act of love rather than a mundane event, something shifts in them. The cycle of birth and death loosens its grip.

Shlokas 4.7 and 4.8 described the purpose of Krishna's incarnation. This shloka reveals the fruit of truly understanding that purpose — liberation from rebirth.

The next shloka (4.10) describes those who have already attained this understanding in past times — freed from attachment, fear, and anger.
