Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 8: The Imperishable Absolute

Bhagavad Gita 8.14

ananyacetāḥ satataṃ yo māṃ smarati nityaśaḥ | tasyāhaṃ sulabhaḥ pārtha nityayuktasya yoginaḥ ||

For the yogi who is always disciplined, who remembers me constantly with a mind on nothing else, I am easy to reach, Arjuna.

Modern context

After the elaborate techniques of the previous verses comes a simple word: sulabha, 'easy to reach'. For the person who remembers constantly with an undivided mind, the divine is easy to reach. The difficulty was never in the goal; it was in the scattering of attention. Gather it, keep it gathered, and what seemed far turns out to be near. The verse is a relief after the description of the dying yogi: the essential thing is love that does not wander.
