Commentary (टीका)
Krishna declares that the path to divine realization requires freedom from the three great obstacles: attachment (raga), fear (bhaya), and anger (krodha). Those who take refuge in God with single-pointed devotion and purify themselves through the fire of knowledge attain His divine nature. This shows that liberation is not theoretical but has been achieved by many seekers throughout history.
