Explanation
Krishna names three qualities that lead to knowledge: śraddhā, faith or trust; tatparatā, single-minded devotion to the goal; and control of the senses. With these, knowledge (jñāna) is gained, and with knowledge comes supreme peace, quickly. The verse links the inner attitude of trust with practical discipline. Faith here is not blind belief but a confident openness that allows one to persevere. The promise of peace answers the turmoil in which Arjuna began, offering a state beyond his present grief.
