However he adds three important criteria’s – (1) Mind has to be fixed in Sri Krishna , (2) Consistency and steadfastness is required on the worship (3) Supreme faith is required towards Sri Krishna. If one worships Sri Krishna keeping these 3 criteria’s in mind then he becomes, a best yogi according to Sri Krishna’s opinion. By using the word his opinion, he also indicates he is not trying to impose worshipping him to anybody, but he is encouraging his worshipping, as that is one of the best ways to reach to perfection.
