The Knowledge of Vibhutis Fosters Devotion 7-9

1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 10 - Vibhuti Yoga - Sloka 7
Krsna in All 
Etam vibhutim yogam cha mama yah vetti tattavatah I
Sah avikampena  yogena yujyate na atra sanshayah II sloka 7
एतां विभूतिं योगं च मम यः वेत्ति तत्त्वतः I
सः अविकंपेन योगेन युज्यते न अत्र संशयः II श्लोक 7 

He who knows in truth this glory and power of mine is endowed with unfaltering yoga; of this there is no doubt.

Electricity manifests itself in various forms in instruments suited to those forms. In whatever form this energy expresses itself, the power is the same. This is a specimen of the primordial power of the Lord evolving itself into the glorious varieties of the sentient and insentient beings abounding in nature. The discerning man knows that whatever he senses, is the power and glory of the Iswara. He cannot therefore be any more separate from Iswara than he can be separate from the earth. His yoga with god is there by made unfaltering.
 A lamp cannot burn without oil. Even so, man cannot be bereft of God.

Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
What is meant by unfaltering yoga? The answer comes in the next sloka.
