western sea. It has been the conclusion of those<br />

versed in the valid means of knowledge that the<br />

difference between them is as wide as that between<br />

a mountain and a mustard seed! Therefore it is<br />

established that one should have recourse to<br />

steadfastness in Knowledge only, by relinquishing<br />

all rites and duties. The fruit of the attainment of<br />

success from the Yoga of Devotion consisting in<br />

worshiping the Lord with one's own actions is the<br />

ability to remain steadfast in Knowledge, from<br />

which, follows stead-fastness in Knowledge,<br />

culminating in the result, Liberation. That Yoga of<br />

Devotion to the Lord is now being praised in this<br />

concluding section dealing with the purport of the<br />

Scripture, with a veiw to generating a firm<br />

conviction with regard to it (the purport of the<br />

Scripture):<br />

18.56 Ever engaging even in all actions, one to<br />

whom I am the refuge, attains the eternal,<br />

immutable State through My grace.<br />

Commentary - Swami Gambhirananda<br />
