ye yathā māṃ prapadyante tāṃs-tathaiva bhajāmy-aham |
mama vartmānuvartante manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvaśaḥ || 11 ||

11. Whosoever takes refuge in Me in any manner whatsoever, in the same manner do I favour them;
beings experience Me alone in different ways, O Arjuna.


Commentary

In whatever manner seekers of refuge think of Me, according to their natural dispositions and surrender to Me — I favour them by revealing Myself to them in the form of their choice. Why elaborate more here? All those who are intent on attaining Me will certainly experience Me, with their own eyes and other sense organs in every way they may desire. The sincere spiritual aspirants will certainly experience an epiphany, that is, my essential nature however indescribable and inconceivable by the Yogins it may be.

Now after completing the digression (regarding the divine incarnations), in order to teach the mode in which Karma Yoga itself acquires the form of Jñāna (Wisdom/meditation), Sri Krishna first described the difficulty in finding persons who are qualified for Karma Yoga of this type.
