When the environment is more suited to your spiritual growth and your vasana for Enlightenment is stronger you put in more effort and the journey gets smoother. You are able to focus better. Everything else falls into place. Otherwise, you waste a lot of time and effort on irrelevant issues. If you invest all your thoughts in the spiritual field your environment changes and life becomes easy. The Bhagavad Gita revitalizes you with enthusiasm, clarity, and cheer. Then you are able to focus all your energies on getting to Realisation. 

The concluding message of this chapter to Arjuna, and to us, is to develop devotion. Devotion will ensure that we remain connected to Ishvara. Another way of understanding the last verse of this chapter is that bhakti-yoga provides the closest and most complete realization of God. This is explained in verse 18.55, where Shri Krishna explains that the bhakti yogi alone understands the true personality of God.
