Kṛṣṇa begins the ‘Ladder of Devotion’, describing the highest stage of practice: ‘Just fix your mind and intelligence on Me.’ He promises that if we can achieve this total absorption, we will live in Him perpetually, even while still in this world. There is no doubt about this result. This is the state of spontaneous love. When the mind is naturally attracted to Kṛṣṇa, like a needle to a magnet, the practitioner is already liberated. He doesn’t need rules because his every thought is already an act of worship. His consciousness is relocated from the material world to the spiritual world. For most people, this is a very high goal. However, Kṛṣṇa presents it first to show us the destination. He wants our ‘Mana’ (emotions) and our ‘Buddhi’ (logic) to both point toward Him. This total integration of the self is the ultimate achievement of yoga.
