The purport of this verse is that one who is unflinchingly devoted to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu, and similarly devoted to the spiritual master, with no ulterior motive, becomes a master of all knowledge.

This same principle is emphasized by Sri Prahlada Maharaja in Srimad-Bhagavatam (7.5.24):
