Realisation of the Lord by meditation.
The Blessed Lord said :
मध्यासक्तमनाः पार्थ योगं युञ्जन्मदाश्रयः ।
असंशयं समग्रं मां यथा ज्ञास्यसि तच्छृणु ॥ १ ॥
madhyāsaktamanāḥ pārtha yogaṃ yuñjanmadāśrayaḥ .
asaṃśayaṃ samagraṃ māṃ yathā jñāsyasi tacchṛṇu .. 1 ..
With the mind intent on Me, O Pārtha, practising Yoga, and finding refuge in Me, how in full without doubt thou shalt know Me, that do thou hear.
Read the commentary
The Yogin’s mind is intent on Me, the Supreme Lord, possessed of such attributes as will be mentioned below. He pratises Yoga or steadfastness of mind and finds refuge in Me alone, the Supreme Lord. He who seeks a human end resorts to some action such as Agnihotra, or to an austerity, or to a gift or the iike, as a means of attaining that end. They Yogin, on the other hand, resorts to Me alone, abandoning all other means, with his thought intent on Me alone. Now, listen to what I am going to say as to how you also, thus acting, will, without doubt, know Me in full, possessed of infinite greatness, strength, power, grace and other attributes; you will know Me undoubtingly, that “The Lord is so and so only.”
