"Devotion is a means as well as its true end when it grows into a full treasure. When devotion becomes a treasure, you will need nothing more for inner fullness or affluence. As devotion grows, it will begin to free you of all desire, hatred and fear. It will relieve poverty, either by making you amply resourceful or by taking away from you the very feeling of poverty. Devotion also will remove your weakness, generating untold strength and confidence."

ततः स विस्मयाविष्टो हृष्टरोमा धनञ्जयः ।
प्रणम्य शिरसा देवं कृताञ्जलिरभाषत ।। ११.१४ ।।

tataḥ sa vismayāviṣṭo hṛṣṭa-romā dhanañ-jayaḥ |
praṇamya śirasā devaṁ kṛtāñjalir-abhāṣata || 11.14 ||

  Audio-BG-11.14
 

Vyasadeva wants to take the readers and listeners to a refined level of spiritual introspection, when he describes what followed instantly.

ततः स विस्मयाविष्टो हृष्टरोमा धनञ्जयः ।
प्रणम्य शिरसा देवं कृताञ्जलिरभाषत ।।

It was then that Arjuna, overwhelmed by wonder, hairs standing on their ends, fell at Krishna’s feet and, with folded hands, began to speak.

What Arjuna’s eyes saw in front steeped him in ineffable wonder. His body was filled with horripilation. He was unable to stand the vision. Prostrating before Krishna, folding his hands, he submitted his mind’s pulsations.
