Why: but by unwavering devotion alone can I be known and seen in truth, and entered into, Arjuna, naming devotion specifically, not ritual, effort, or technique, as the actual condition for this deeper knowing.
In life: genuinely knowing someone or something deeply tends to require sustained, unwavering attention and care more than any clever technique or shortcut could provide.
Teaching: for whatever you most want to genuinely know or understand deeply, invest in sustained, unwavering attention and care toward it rather than searching for a more clever technique or shortcut to bypass that sustained investment.
