 that the personal absolute, Krishna, is the highest reality. This proclamation is consistent with the Gita's enthronement (11.53, 11.54) of bhakti-yoga as the best among all paths. In bhakti-yoga, Krishna is both the object and the objective of meditation.
In other paths, is Krishna a mere object of meditation?
Let's consider the Gita's sixth chapter that deals with ashtanga-yoga. While delineating the initial stages of the process, the Gita (06.14) urges yogis to fix their mind on Krishna.

Based on Bhagavad Gita Chapter 06, Text 14
Object of meditation refers to the thing that we meditate on.
Objective of meditation refers to the thing that we want to get by meditating. For students, the course material may be the object of their meditation, but marks and salaries are usually the objective of that meditation.
Some people argue that the notion of a personal God is just an object of meditation for less evolved people who can’t meditate on the impersonal absolute which, they claim, is the ultimate objective of meditation.
The Bhagavad-gita thoroughly debunks such arguments. It declares repeatedly (07.07, 10.08 and 15.19, for example) that the personal absolute, Krishna, is the highest reality. This proclamation is consistent with the Gita’s enthronement (11.53, 11.54) of bhakti-yoga as the best among all paths. In bhakti-yoga, Krishna is both the object and the objective of meditation.
