Chapter 8, śloka 10,

Meaning :
(Please see this shloka along-with shloka 1of this chapter. Those who by their whole devtion to Him, have mastered the skill of remembering Him (The Supreme Reality, / ’brahman’ / 'Self', / śrīkṛṣṇa paramātman) get stabilized in 'Heart', which is the Spiritual Heart / Love of Him, as Pure Consciousness Principle. Sri  has emphasized that one who remembers Him through 'Self-Enquiry' need not and should not go through the circuitous path of yoga as is advised by the ardent supporters of yoga and yogik methods. The 'Self-Enquiry' can not proceed until there is devotion to The Lord, and if there is this devotion, Even the 'Self-Enquiry' is but an excuse only, and one shall reach and attain The Lord, with no exception. However, those who are inclined, interested and able enough to discover the 'prāṇa' (vital-breath) and 'cetanā ' (the awareness / consciousness associated with 'prāṇa'), and reach their common and the only source, wherefrom they emerge-out, take the manifest form and appear as different from one-another, as two, which is the 'Heart', they will find the same Reality as Self, There.
Such a devotee can easily bring the attention at the place where the two paths of 'prāṇa' change their course of movement along the 'kuṃḍalinī'. This happens only through pure devtion and by no other means. And such a devotee can thus bringing the at that prāṇa-centre, having attention there and remembering 'Me' That is, The Lord śrīkṛṣṇa paramātman, or 'Self' as 'Me' (I-Consciousness).
But again this is a secondary path, and in an earlier śloka 6, Lord has clearly pointed out that whatever one remembers and thinks of at the time of death, one attains the same state after his death. So one should always remember the Lord / Self.
