Śaṅkarācārya's commentary

The Yogin's mind is intent on Me, the Supreme Lord, possessed of such attributes as will be mentioned below. He practises Yoga or steadfastness of mind and finds refuge in Me alone, the Supreme Lord. He who seeks a human end resorts to some action such as Agnihotra, or to an austerity, or to a gift or the like, as a means of attaining that end. The Yogin, on the other hand, resorts to Me alone, abandoning all other means with his thought intent on Me alone. Now, listen to what I am going to say as to how you also, thus acting, will, without doubt, know Me in full, possessed of infinite greatness, strength, power, grace and other attributes; you will know Me undoubtingly, that "The Lord is so and so only."
