‘Them, ever athirst for union, I, in love, endow with that illuminated understanding by which they may pass to Me.’1
Satata-yuktānām means: those who worship Me incessantly, intensely praying for communion with Me. I give them, out of loving grace, that ripe acute understanding (=illumination=buddhi-yoga) by which they can join Me.
