Meaning & Commentary
In this profound verse, Shri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, reveals the reciprocal nature of divine grace. He promises that when a seeker anchors their consciousness in Him through constant devotion, He personally bestows the 'Buddhi-yoga'—the divine intelligence required to transcend illusion. This is not merely intellectual knowledge, but a direct illumination of the soul that clears the path to realization. By aligning one's heart with Shri Krishna, the devotee no longer relies on limited worldly perception but is guided by the light of the Lord Himself. Ultimately, this grace ensures that the seeker reaches the eternal abode of Shri Krishna, fulfilling the purpose of human existence.
