Why: the yogi who worships Krishna abiding in all beings, seeing unity everywhere, remains in Krishna regardless of how they are otherwise living or acting, again suggesting this unified perception matters more than the specific external form of one's life.
In life: two people with very different external lifestyles can both be living from the same underlying groundedness, the external form isn't the whole story.
Teaching: judge your own or someone else's spiritual progress less by the external shape of their life and more by whether that underlying sense of connection and equanimity is actually present.
