Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 18: Freedom through Renunciation

Bhagavad Gita 18.55

bhaktyā māmabhijānāti yāvānyaścāsmi tattvataḥ | tato māṃ tattvato jñātvā viśate tadanantaram ||

Through devotion a person comes to know me: how great I am and who I truly am. Then, knowing me as I truly am, they enter into me at once.

Modern context

Through devotion one comes to know the divine as it truly is, and knowing, enters into it. Love becomes a way of knowing. We understand most deeply the people we love most. Love is not blind here; it sees more clearly than detached observation ever could. And what love knows fully, it enters into, becoming one with it.
