==== TRANSLATION ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;translation&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A yogī is greater than the ascetic, greater than the empiricist and greater than the fruitive worker. Therefore, O Arjuna, in all circumstances, be a yogī.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== PURPORT ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;purport&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When we speak of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;yoga&amp;#039;&amp;#039; we refer to linking up our consciousness with the Supreme Absolute Truth. Such a process is named differently by various practitioners in terms of the particular method adopted. When the linking up process is predominantly in fruitive activities, it is called &amp;#039;&amp;#039;karma-yoga&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, when it is predominantly empirical, it is called &amp;#039;&amp;#039;jñāna-yoga&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, and when it is predominantly in a devotional relationship with the Supreme Lord, it is called &amp;#039;&amp;#039;bhakti-yoga. Bhakti-yoga&amp;#039;&amp;#039; or Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the ultimate perfection of all &amp;#039;&amp;#039;yogas&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, as will be explained in the next verse. The Lord has confirmed herein the superiority of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;yoga&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, but He has not mentioned that it is better than &amp;#039;&amp;#039;bhakti-yoga. Bhakti-yoga&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is full spiritual knowledge, and as such, nothing can excel it. Asceticism without self-knowledge is imperfect. Empiric knowledge without surrender to the Supreme Lord is also imperfect. And fruitive work without Kṛṣṇa consciousness is a waste of time. Therefore, the most highly praised form of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;yoga&amp;#039;&amp;#039; performance mentioned here is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;bhakti-yoga&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, and this is still more clearly explained in the next verse.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
