Uddhava said: O Acyuta, I think that the method of yoga described by you is very difficult for one who cannot control his mind. Therefore please explain to me immediately how someone can more quickly attain perfection. In the Twenty-ninth Chapter, Kṛṣṇa explains how one attains bhakti by taking shelter of great devotees and how one can attain liberation by realizing ātmā. Kṛṣṇa taught Uddhava powerful jṣāna but Uddhava could not understand it. This he expresses in five verses. Practice of yoga by persons who are devoid of identity with the body has also been explained. But I think this is difficult for others to practice. Quickly tell me how one can quickly attain perfection. The repetition of aṣjasā is not redundant since the words modify different verbs.
