10.14: Gita 6.8, 6.9: Everything is to be utilized in service of Lord as the devotee sees all beings & belongings only to Lord & thus devotee has developed a higher taste transcending petty worldly pleasures
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
23.20: Gita 6.18: अष्टांग योग (8 steps / stages) what is "ashtang" yoga ?
26.34: Gita 6.20-23 : complete attachment to Lord means liberation, i.e., freedom from all worldly miseries
27.48: Gita 6.24 : भुक्ति और मुक्ति की इच्छा करना ही पिशाची वृत्ती है (भुक्ति = worldly enjoyment, मुक्ति = liberation, पिशाची = a blood thirsty witch, वृत्ती = tendency). Implication is that one should love Lord only for love's sake, not to satisfy desire of this world nor for desire for liberation (because we are constitutionally eternal servant of Lord & "desire for liberation" means we do not want to serve the Lord anymore)
29.36 : Gita 6.25 : Knowledge of "self" & "Self"
31.53 : Gita 6.27 : similarity & difference between us individual souls & God (we are same qualitatively but not quantitatively, also He is Independent reality but we are dependent reality
37.40 : Gita 6.30 : a devotee sees Lord everywhere ,i.e., he sees Spirit even in matter BUT a materialist sees matter even in Spirit
38.55: Krishna is परमात्मा (God)
40.23: Mind is चंचल (fickle), अस्थिर (unstable), उतशृंखल (disorderly/crazy), हठी (obstinate) & very बलवान (powerful)
42.14 Gita 6.36: How to control the mind - by Dos & Don'ts - which - listen to this (Dos : Hare Krishna chanting, Read spiritual, listen bhakti bhajans, satsang, keep company of holy devotees, temple visit, eating prasad (remnant of food offered to Krishna) & Do'nts: 4 regulative principles: no intoxicants, no meat eating, no gambling, no illicit sex (g i s m)
6.38: What happens if one is not able to complete his bhakti, i.e., he is not able to achieve perfection / Lord's love in one life time
6.41, 6.42 : if he was able to develop a little bit devotion (say less than 30%) , he would take birth in a rich family to enjoy his unfulfilled sensual desires & if he was an advanced devotee (say upto 70-90%) , he would take birth in a devotee family
6.43, 6.44: Devotion is carry forwarded to next birth, such a person follows spirituality from a very young age
6.45 Finally one gets success in getting Lord's love
6.46, 6.47 a bhakti yoga person (devotee in loving devotion) is better than a wise person & also better than a karma yogi
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
1.07.29: why all spiritual explanations are always tilted in favour of bhakti (because bhakti yoga is the goal)
