The entire purpose of Gītā is to enrich you to complete with your root patterns and drop the ego!

भक्त्या मामभिजानाति यावान्यश्चास्मि तत्त्वतः ।
ततो मां तत्त्वतो ज्ञात्वा विशते तदनन्तरम्
॥१८-५५॥

bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaścāsmi
tattvataḥ tato māṁ tattvato jñātvā
viśate tad-anantaram

By devotion one truly understands
what and who I am in essence. Having
known Me in essence, one
immediately merges with Me.

POWERFUL COGNITION

bhakti (devotion) and jñāna (knowledge) are not separate. Where there is devotion, there is knowledge and where there is true knowledge, there is devotion.

सर्वकर्माण्यपि सदा कुर्वाणो मद्व्यपाश्रयः ।
मत्प्रसादादवाप्नोति शाश्वतं पदमव्ययम्
॥१८-५६॥

sarvakarmāṇy api sadā kurvāṇo
madvyapāśrayaḥ mat-prasādād avāpnoti
śāśvataṁ padamavyayam

My devotee occupied in everyday life
still reaches under My protection the
imperishable ultimate abode through my
mercy, through devotion to Me.

POWERFUL COGNITION

When you surrender, a space is created that allows the power of coincidence, the power of extraordinary possibilities to happen.

चेतसा सर्वकर्माणि मयि संन्यस्य मत्परः ।

बुद्धियोगमुपाश्रित्य मच्चित्तः सततं भव

॥ १८-५७॥

cetasā sarvakarmāṇi mayi sannyasya
matparaḥ buddhiyogam upāśritya
maccittaḥ satataṁ bhava

While being engaged in activities just
depend upon Me, and being fully
conscious of Me, work always under My
protection.

POWERFUL COGNITION

Every word of Gītā, every word of Kṛṣṇa, is energy

मच्चित्तः सर्वदुर्गाणि मत्प्रसादात्तरिष्यसि ।
अथ चेत्त्वमहङ्कारान्न श्रोष्यसि विनङ्क्ष्यसि
॥ १८=५८ ॥

maccittaḥ sarvadurgāṇi matprasādāt
tariṣyasi atha cet tvam ahaṁkārān na
śroṣyasi vinaṅkṣyasi

When your mind and inner-space
become fixed on Me, you shall
overcome all difficulties by My grace.
But if you do not listen to Me due to
ego, you shall perish.

POWERFUL COGNITION

When you 'know' Kṛṣṇa, there is nothing else to know.
