偈颂 7.17.17.27.37.47.57.67.77.87.97.107.117.127.137.147.157.167.177.187.197.207.217.227.237.247.257.267.277.287.297.30

The Blessed Lord said O Arjuna, hear how you shall without doubt know Me fully, with the mind intent on Me, practising Yoga and taking refuge in Me.

The Lord said: Son of Pritha, hear how, with your mind attached to me, practising yoga and taking refuge in me, you will know me fully and without doubt.

With this verse a new section of the Gita begins. The previous chapter ended by praising the yogi who worships Krishna with faith. Now Krishna promises to explain how such a person, with mind attached to him, practising yoga and taking refuge in him, can know him fully and without doubt. The word samagram, entirely or in full, sets the theme of the chapter: not only who Krishna is in his highest being, but how he is present in the world. Arjuna is invited to listen closely.
