By devotion he knows Me in truth, what and who I am; then having known Me in truth, he forthwith enters into the Supreme.

Through devotion he comes to know me truly, how great I am and who I am. Then, having known me truly, he enters into me at once.

Through devotion one comes to know Krishna as he truly is, in his full greatness and real nature. Having known him in truth, one then enters into him. The verse joins knowing and loving in a single movement. Traditions differ on what entering means, a merging into the one reality or an intimate communion that keeps a distinction. In the dialogue it describes the final goal toward which the whole teaching has been leading.
