Steady attainment of the Supreme comes through abhyāsa-yoga—repeated meditative practice—by which the mind becomes non-wandering and continuously contemplates the Divine Person.
In the Gītā’s instruction on remembrance and the path to the Highest, the teaching emphasizes disciplined concentration: the seeker who keeps the mind from straying and persists in contemplation reaches the Supreme Divine Person.
