20.07:  Gita 6.16: Sleeping & Eating have to be moderate (not too less, not too much) ; जैसा भोजन वैसा भजन, food has a direct connection with mind - so those wanting to control the mind have to eat vegetarian (सात्विक) food, if non veg food is eaten, mind cannot be controlled & without mind control, spiritual progress is out of reach & without spiritual progress, human life is simply wasted

6.47 let us see what is YOGA LADDER : at bottom is animal life, sakam karm yog (attached to action as well as some fruit), then after gaining some wisdom,  nishkam karm yog - he does what he wants but dedicates fruits to Lord, then after more purification of his intellect, Gyan yog (theoretical understanding becomes clear by reading spiritual books ,i.e., affinity to निराकार ब्रह्म), then he starts practicing ,i.e., application of his theoretical understanding  by Ashtang yoga , i.e., he tries to discipline his mind physically & in his intellect (& could achieve some sidhi & realise परमात्मा in his heart), then Bhakti yoga (Loving Devotion to Lord ,i.e., realization in his heart) -THESE ARE NOT DIFFERENT WAYS TO REACH LORD BUT IS A YOGA LADDER

It is in bhakti yoga that he now understands that Krishna is Supreme Lord (i.e., the Source from which Brahma light प्रकाश is effusing).  (progressively becomes more & more self less ,i.e., less & lesser selfish)

6.47 : Gyan yog (theoretical understanding becomes clear by reading spiritual books ,i.e., affinity to निराकार ब्रह्म में लीन हो जाना का आनंद) but when asked who enjoys the anand once having merged in निराकार ब्रह्म (अद्वैत also called spiritual suicide) , then he feels that he never thought about that, so he tries to go up the yoga ladder
