Śaṅkarācārya's commentary
He who thinks of Me, the Supreme Lord, long — i.e., not for six months or a year, but uninterruptedly throughout life — to that Yogin who is ever steadfast in thought, I am easily accessible. This being so, therefore, without thinking of another, one should ever dwell steadfast in Me.
