Shankara’s Commentary:
Com.—This being so, this prop is the best, i.e., the most praiseworthy of all props, to attain the Brahman. This prop is both the higher and lower; for, it leads to both the highest and the manifested Brahman i.e., of the highest Brahman and the manifested Brahman. The meaning is: he becomes one with the Brahman and he becomes fit to be worshipped like Brahman.

S. Sitarama Sastri 1898, The Kaṭha Upaniṣad and Śrī Śaṅkara's Commentary
