Chapter 8 • Verse 14

The Yoga of the Imperishable Absolute

Krishna reveals the key to attainment: 'Ananya-cetah satatam yo mam smarati nityashah'—who (yah) constantly (satatam) and daily (nityashah) remembers (smarati) Me (mam) with undivided (ananya) attention (cetah). 'Tasya aham sulabhah partha nityayuktasya yoginah'—to him (tasya), I (aham) am easily attainable (sulabhah), O Arjuna (partha), for the yogi (yoginah) who is constantly engaged (nityayuktasya). This is the secret: constant remembrance with undivided attention makes Krishna easily attainable. Not occasional remembrance, not divided attention, but constant, daily, undivided remembrance. This is the practical path: remember Krishna constantly, with undivided attention, and He becomes easily attainable. This verse emphasizes that it's not difficult—it's easy when you practice constantly with undivided attention.
