💡 Commentary Note

**Closing Thought:** Chapter 6 completes the movement from action to inner discipline. Krishna has now shown the path of karma, knowledge, renunciation, and meditation. The final verse naturally points forward to devotion: the best yogi is the one whose inner self rests in Krishna with faith.

Learnings from Shloka 47:

Devotion completes yoga: Krishna calls the faithful devotee the highest yogi.
Inner connection matters most: The best yogi abides in Krishna inwardly.
Faith gives depth to practice: Technique becomes complete when joined with loving trust.
