In this concluding section of the Chapter, Lord Krishna clarifies the doubts of Arjuna and clearly states that the Path of Meditation is essential and is superior to mere bookish knowledge, or the path of action, or the practice of austerities. The path of meditation gives the person an experience of the Supreme Goal and is the highest form of yoga. Any progress made on this path is very important and worthwhile. One gets his or her subsequent birth in a noble family when one walks the spiritual path from where the journey can progress further.
