evam sathathayukthaaye bhakthaaH thvaam paryupaasathe
ye cha api aksharam avyaktham theshaam ke yogavitthamaaH
Of the two, those who are your devotees and worship you with unswerving devotion and those who meditate on the imperishable unmanifest Brahman, who are the best yogis?
After the elaboration of the nature of Brahman as the Absolute Reality, manifest and unmanifest in the chapters second to tenth, Krishna has shown the Cosmic Form in the eleventh chapter., thus showing the efficacy of contemplation on Brahman with and without Upadhis. Now Arjuna wants to know the relative importance of worship of both manifest and unmanifest Brahman.
This legitimate doubt has sprung from the proclamation of Krishna in the last chapter that `bhakthya thu ananyaya sa
So which of the two, those who worship the Lord in the manner outlined above ,'evam sathatha yuktha yebhakthaah, devotees whose mind is integrated in the Lord always, and those who worship or meditate on aaksharam avyaktham, imperishable and unmanifest Brahman, are comparatively better yogis?
The Lord replies extolling the bhakthiyoga to be the best.
