Explanation

Krishna sums up the first half of the chapter. He has now explained the field, the qualities that make up knowledge, and the reality to be known. Then he adds a line that once more joins analysis and devotion: the one who is devoted to him and understands this becomes fit for his own state of being (madbhāva). Even this most philosophical teaching ends with the devotee. The verse shows that for the Gita the paths of knowing and loving are not rivals. Clear understanding, held by a devoted heart, leads toward the divine.
