Commentary

Those devotees who fix their minds on Me in the Cosmi Form, the Supreme Lord and worship Me, ever harmonised and with intense and supreme faith, regarding Me as the Lord of all the masters of Yoga, who are free from attachment and other evil passions -- these, in My opinion, are the best versed in Yoga. They spend their days and nights in worshipping Me. They have no other thoughts except those,of Myself. They live for Me only. Therefore it is indeed proper to say that they are the best Yogins. Are not the others, those who contemplate the imperishable, formless, attributeless, alityless Supreme Brahman, the best of Yogins Listen now to what I have to say regarding them.
