Srimad Bhagavad Gita Shloka 15.33

“How much more, then, the holy Brahmins and devoted royal sages; having entered this impermanent, joyless world, worship Me.”
Key Teaching: Brahmins and sages, being devoted, easily attain Krishna.
Theme: Guidance, Moksha Sannyasa Yoga, Bhakti Yoga.
Description:
Krishna states that if those of sinful birth attain Him, then holy Brahmins and devoted royal sages do so even more readily, urging worship in this impermanent world. This verse, continuing 15.32, addresses Arjuna’s quest (2.9, 13.1). The themes of guidance, as Krishna encourages worship, Moksha Sannyasa Yoga, as he points to liberation, and Bhakti Yoga, as he highlights devotion, are central.

In the Mahabharata, Arjuna’s Kshatriya devotion (1.28–46) aligns with this, contrasting Duryodhana’s ignorance (1.3–11). The teaching aligns with Bhakti Yoga (9.33), emphasizing devotion’s ease for the pious. Krishna builds on inclusivity (15.32), prioritizing devotion.

Philosophically, the verse reinforces devotion’s accessibility, a theme refined with teachings on Bhakti (9.33). Arjuna’s path is clarified by worshipping Krishna. The themes of Moksha Sannyasa Yoga and Bhakti Yoga underscore the Gita’s focus on divine worship.

Sanjaya’s narration ensures objective clarity. This verse serves as a metaphor for life’s devotion, where piety aids liberation. Krishna’s teaching prepares readers to worship, aligning with liberation.
