Puri Jagannath

Arjuna Uvacha

Evam Satata yukta ye bhaktah tvam pari upasate I

Ye cha api aksharam avyaktam tesham ke yoga vittamah II sloka 1

अर्जुन उवाच 

एवं सतत युक्ता ये भक्ताः तवं पर्युपासते I 

ये च अपि अक्षरम् अव्यक्तम् तेषाम् के योग वित्तमाः II श्लोक 1

Arjuna said

Those devotees who, ever steadfast, worship you thus,  and those again who worship the Imperishable, the Unmanifest - Which of these are better versed in yoga?

At the end of the eleventh chapter, the adoration of the Supreme was advocated. But Brahman is both with and without attributes. Of these two aspects of his, which is better suited for worship? This is the point raised for clarification.
