The manner by which such renunciation attains the Brahman or spiritual substratum pervading all existence is by pristine spiritual knowledge. Lord Krishna is requesting to hear and learn from Him how this can be accomplished.
How and by what means perfection is reached and the consciousness of the brahman or spiritual substratum pervading all existence is achieved is given in the next three verses. This perfection is the epitome of spiritual wisdom.
The perfection achieved by consistent performance of karma yoga or facilitating communion with the Supreme Lord by prescribed Vedic activities allows one to attain dhyana or meditation on Lord Krishna or any of His authorised incarnations and expansions as revealed in Vedic scriptures with bhakti or exclusive loving devotion. Lord Krishna is inviting one to learn how, in what manner and by what conduct one attains the the atma or immortal soul and the pure, consciousness of the brahman or spiritual substratum pervading all existence which are the two manifestations of the Supreme Lord who is the paramount of attainment and the goal of all endeavours.
