Explanation

The chapter ends with a verse that links meditation to devotion and to the chapters that follow. Among all yogis, Krishna holds as most fully joined the one who, full of faith, worships him with the inmost self absorbed in him. After describing posture, breath, concentration and evenness of vision, Krishna places loving devotion (bhakti) at the summit. Traditions read the relation between meditation and devotion in different ways, but all treat this verse as a bridge to the next chapters, which explore the nature of the one who is worshipped.
