भक्त्या मामभिजानाति यावान्यश्चास्मि तत्त्वतः । ततो मां तत्त्वतो ज्ञात्वा विशते तदनन्तरम् ॥ ५५ ॥
bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaśh chāsmi tattvataḥ tato māṁ tattvato jñātvā viśhate tad-anantaram
Translation
Through devotion one knows Me in truth, what and who I am. Then, having known Me in truth, one enters into Me at once.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
उस परा भक्ति के द्वारा वह मुझे तत्त्व से जानता है कि मैं कौन हूँ और कितना हूँ; और फिर मुझे तत्त्व से जानकर तत्काल ही मुझमें प्रविष्ट हो जाता है।
Commentary
Devotion is the door to full knowledge of God: yavan yash chasmi, "how great and who I am." Knowing leads to entering (vishate). This matches 11.54's three steps of knowing, seeing and entering. In the end, love and knowledge meet.
