Shloka 39
ध्यानयोगः — Dhyāna-Yoga
Discipline of Meditation and Mental Restraint
श्रद्धावॉल्लभते ज्ञानं तत्पर: संयतेन्द्रिय: । ज्ञानं लब्ध्वा परां शान्तिमचिरेणाधिगच्छति,जितेन्द्रिय, साधनपरायण और श्रद्धावान्” मनुष्य ज्ञानको प्राप्त होता है तथा ज्ञानको प्राप्त होकर वह बिना विलम्बके--तत्काल ही भगवत्प्राप्तिरूप परम शान्तिको प्राप्त हो जाता है
śraddhāvān labhate jñānaṁ tat-paraḥ saṁyatendriyaḥ | jñānaṁ labdhvā parāṁ śāntim acireṇādhigacchati ||
Arjuna said: The person who is endowed with faith, devoted to that (teaching and its practice), and self-controlled in the senses attains true knowledge. Having gained that knowledge, he soon reaches the highest peace—peace that culminates in realization of the Supreme.

Knowledge is not gained by intellect alone: it arises in a person who has śraddhā (trusting commitment), is devoted to the discipline and its goal (tat-paraḥ), and restrains the senses (saṁyatendriyaḥ). Such knowledge quickly matures into the highest peace—liberating realization.
In the midst of the Kurukṣetra discourse, this verse states the qualifications and result of spiritual knowledge: faith, focused dedication, and sense-control lead to jñāna, and jñāna leads swiftly to supreme peace.
