Commentary

Krishna describes how the high-souled devotees worship the Supreme and remain constantly united with Its presence.

Every day sixteen to seventeen hours, one is awake and active. During this spell, besides attending to the bodily needs like bathing, dressing, eating, etc., domestic, professional and societal activities and interactions take place regularly. All activities are complementary to each other.

Everything is within the fold of the Supreme. So in everything is the Supreme present. This thought will vacate all sense of disconnection from the Supreme.

Bonded with earth, air, water and food, and surrounded by space, the devotee feels he is floating in the Supreme. Humility and grace filling his heart give rise to exhilaration and enlightenment. He feels united incessantly with the Supreme, which allows no outside or inside.
