Chapter 8 verse 14
“Those yogis who always think of Me with exclusive devotion, I am easily attainable because of their constant absorption in Me.”
If the formless is difficult to meditate on, Krishna is asking to meditate on His form-Krishna, Rama, Shiva, Shakti etc., Sanatana dharma offers polytheism in monotheistic principle. Each one according to their own tendencies and inclinations can worship their favorite God (Ishta devata). However it is important to remain steadfast in one’s devotion to the supreme and not waste energy and focus on other worldly objects and desires. Krishna says he is easily attainable provided the being focuses only on Him. “Easy” word is an oxymoron here since it is easy for those who have reached that state of equanimity which itself is hard to reach and it is not so easy for those who haven’t reached that state. Hence, it is not really easy for anyone but nothing is easy and nothing is hard either. It is what “it is”.
