Chapter 5 Lesson 11

Whenever Krishna speaks about 'Me' he does not mean Krishna the son of Devki, Yashoda but means the 'Self in the individual'
The Self is 'Maheshwara' the Lord of Lords'
Ishwara could mean 'controller of all fields of activities'
'Sacrifices and austerities' could mean all self control undertaken to merge with the Infinite.
Now we should be able to understand what Lord Krishna means in the last verse of the the 5th chapter:
Knowing me as enjoyer of all sacrifices and austerities, the Great Lord of all worlds, the friend of all beings, he attains peace.
And thus ends chapter 5 of the Bhagvad Geeta.
