Explanation
After describing an elaborate yogic death, Krishna offers a simpler assurance. For the yogi who remembers him constantly, every day, with a mind not turned to anything else, he is easy to reach, sulabha. The verse softens what came before. One need not master special techniques if one's whole life is filled with remembrance. Ever joined in yoga, such a person finds that the goal is near. It is one of the Gita's most hopeful statements about devotion.
