The Yogi is thought to be superior to the ascetics and even superior to men of knowledge (obtained through the study of scriptures); he is also superior to men of action; therefore be thou a Yogi, O Arjuna.

The yogi is greater than the ascetics, held greater even than the learned, and greater than those devoted to ritual action. Therefore, Arjuna, be a yogi.

Krishna now compares the yogi with others. The yogi is greater than ascetics who practise bodily austerity, greater than those learned in scripture, and greater than those devoted to ritual works. Therefore Arjuna should become a yogi. Each of these groups may possess one valuable element, but the yogi integrates discipline, understanding and action in a direct pursuit of the goal. The verse is the chapter's practical call to Arjuna, and it prepares for the final verse, which names the best yogi of all.
