Translator:
I am easily attainable by that ever-steadfast yogi who constantly and daily remembers me for a long time, not thinking of anything else with a single-minded or one-pointed focus, O Partha.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: for the yogi who constantly remembers Krishna with an undistracted mind, day after day, Krishna is easily attained, tying easy attainment specifically to daily, unbroken consistency rather than occasional intense effort.

In life: something practiced daily, even briefly, tends to become genuinely easy over time in a way something practiced only occasionally never quite does.

Teaching: choose daily brevity over occasional intensity for whatever practice you're trying to establish, the daily version becomes easy in a way the occasional version rarely does.
