Purport Overview & Key Insights

The chapter opens with its own conditions attached. With the mind attached to Me, practising yoga and taking refuge in Me — hear how you will know Me completely, without doubt. Knowing is presented as something that follows attachment, not something that precedes it.

✨ Devotional Takeaway:Knowing follows attachment here; it does not precede it.
