भावार्थ:
श्री भगवान बोले- भय का सर्वथा अभाव, अन्तःकरण की पूर्ण निर्मलता, तत्त्वज्ञान के लिए ध्यान योग में निरन्तर दृढ़ स्थिति (परमात्मा के स्वरूप को तत्त्व से जानने के लिए सच्चिदानन्दघन परमात्मा के स्वरूप में एकी भाव से ध्यान की निरन्तर गाढ़ स्थिति का ही नाम ‘ज्ञानयोगव्यवस्थिति’ समझना चाहिए) और सात्त्विक दान (गीता अध्याय 17 श्लोक 20 में जिसका विस्तार किया है), इन्द्रियों का दमन, भगवान, देवता और गुरुजनों की पूजा तथा अग्निहोत्र आदि उत्तम कर्मों का आचरण एवं वेद-शास्त्रों का पठन-पाठन तथा भगवान् के नाम और गुणों का कीर्तन, स्वधर्म पालन के लिए कष्टसहन और शरीर तथा इन्द्रियों के सहित अन्तःकरण की सरलता॥1॥
