Lord Krishna said: Those who, infusing Me (the Supreme) in their mind, worship Me through a note of constant identity, impelled by the highest attitude and aim, I hold them to be the most united.
Chapter 12: Bhakti-yoga – Practice and Attainment of Devotion - Verse 2
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Krishna is dexterous in answering Arjuna. He deals more with the questioner’s mind than what the question theoretically raises. See how he begins to answer.
Those who rest mentally in the Supreme and thereby remain integrated are obviously the most united with the Supreme. They think of the Supreme fondly, considering the Supreme as their refuge and reliance. Arjuna must be happy as Krishna confirms his idea.
Constancy and wholesomeness result in assiduous attention and value for the highest. Their mind expands considerably, making them greatly benevolent. Their care and concern become lofty, generating expansion, making them singular in every way.
