Sri Krishna expounds the same idea more lucidly thus: —

śraddhāvāllabhate jñānaṃ tatparaḥ saṃyatendriyaḥ |
jñānaṃ labdhvā parāṃ śāntim acireṇādhigacchati || 39 ||

39. One who has faith, who is dedicated to it, and who has controlled the senses, attains
enlightenment. Having attained enlightenment, one obtains Supreme Peace.

Commentary

After attaining knowledge through instruction in the manner described, one must develop firm faith in it, and the possibility of its actualisation in enlightenment. One who is dedicated to it — the mind must be focused thereupon. One must control the senses and restrain them from all their objects — soon, one will then reach the aforesaid state of maturity and obtain enlightenment, and thereafter will reach Supreme Peace, ie., the supreme Nirvana (beatitude).
