Chapter 15
Such a person, who knows the Supreme Person, is the knower of all and he worships God, with all his being.
When a person, knows that God transcends the perishable, his mind (attachment) deviates from the world, and is concentrated on God. When he knows Him higher than the imperishable, his intellect (faith), is absorbed in God.[1]
Then God is worshipped, through each of his inclinations and actions. Thus worship to God, with all being is 'unswerving devotion.'
So long as a man, is attached to mundane objects, such as the body, senses, mind and intellect etc., he cannot worship God with all his being, because a man has an automatic inclination,to an object, he is attached to.
When a striver, accepts the fact 'I am God's and only God is mine', God is automatically worshipped by him, with all his being. Then all the activities (sleeping, waking, speaking, walking, eating and drinking etc.,) are undertaken by him, in order to please God, rather than for himself.
As 'knowing' plays an important role in the path of knowledge, so does assumption, play an important role in the path of devotion. Firm assumption, free from doubt, is 'knowing' (knowledge), in the path of devotion. When a devotee, believes that God is the Supreme Person, he worships Him with all his being, (Gita 10/8).
When a person holds that God, is the Supreme Person, he becomes a knower of all; then there is no doubt, that the person who worships God, with all his being, will know Him, as the Supreme Person.
