"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."

Next he adds:

क्षेत्रज्ञं चापि मां विद्धि सर्वक्षेत्रेषु भारत ।
क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञयोर्ज्ञानं यत्तज्ञानं मतं मम ।।

Arjuna, in all the kshetras (fields), know the supreme Reality (Me) as kshetrajna (knower of the kshetra). The knowledge of both kshetra and kshetrajna is, according to me, true spiritual wisdom.

Bodies are many, each being different from the other. Also, there is ample variety in the bodily level. But in the Knower of the body, the kshetrajna, no such difference reigns. Krishna declares that in all the kshetras, the kshetrajna is but one. The lesson of spirituality begins with as well as subsists on this oneness.
