What is the meaning of shloka from 15 to 34 in section or adhyaya 9 of Bhagwat Geeta?

"Some other yogi worship the Me, who is with out any size, shape or property. (like the material things posses.) Some other worship Me as the infinite One. (with different motive or emotion or intention.) (9/15)."I am kratu, I am yagnya, I am swadha, I am drugs (?), I am mantra, I am the ghee, I am the fire, I am the process of pouring. (9/16). ( Here lord Krishna is saying that He is the one, which is considered as parts of the worship as per the Veda.) "I am the one, who has hold the entire world, living and non-living. I am the one, who gives you fruits of your karma. I am the one, father, mother, grand father. I am the word called as Om. I am the the Rigveda, Samveda and Yajurveda also." ( 9/17). "I am the one, who is to be gained or obtained as the ultimate one. I am the one, who feeds you. I am the one, who is the ultimate God. I am the one, who is the ultimate place to stay with. I am the one, who is to be surrendered to. I am the one, who will help you with out demanding anything in return. I am the one, for who the world is created and destroyed. I am the one, who support the world. I am the one, into which the whole world disappear into and i am the one, who is indestructible. (9/18). "I am the one, who gives you energy by of sun. I am the one, who gives you rains. I am the one, the death and life too. I am the reality and reverse of it. (9/19). ( Lord Krishna talks logically. When He talks other wise, you can say that the words do not come from Him. But there can be somethings, which may be beyond the logic also. I want to highlight the fact here that to presume that every thing can be explained by the logic is not correct. Human brain has got it's own limitation. Like human brain can not know about the infinity as well as about the point in mathematics also. So let all these be left to future generations. Some body will will be able to explain the same in future.) "Some people fallow the three Veda. Do the worship in order to get the material things. They do no bad things and worship Me by way of holy fire. They want to go to the heaven. So such people go to heaven and get the objects of sensory organs there, like the other gods. (9/20). "They enjoy the very large heaven, come back to earth after they consume the fruits of their good karma. Like this, the people, who want to get the benefits as per described in the three Veda, get births and deaths repeatedly. (9/21). "The people, who worship Me with ultimate dedication, without any expectations, who think about Me only, then I personally look into the daily needs of that person." (9/22). (Here the God has promised that if you worship Him, with out any expectation, then He will see that you get the material things that you need. Incidentally, you do not need much for your daily needs. They are the stupid people, who rob others for silly material things and can not consume even part of it. The stupid ones also do not think about the ecosystem and the future generations. People becomes great by giving and not by taking. You are born to help others.) "Look Arjuna, even if the people worship the other gods, they worship Me only. But that worship is coming out of their ignorance." (9/23). (If you worship the finite gods, you worship the 'part' of infinite God only. But then you are bound to get the finite fruits only.) "Because I am the infinite God. Who do not understand this fact, get the rebirths." (9/24). "Those, who worship the finite gods, go to finite gods. those, who worship the ancestors, goes to ancestors. Those, who worship the things, go to those things only. Those, who worship the infinite Myself, come to Me only. So those, who worship Me, do not get the rebirth." ( 9/25). ( Here the translation of the one or two words may be incorrect like Bhuta. But the meaning is crystal clear. You go to the place, where you want to go. The proper place to go in infinite God only.) "If some body, who worship Me, gives Me with love, a leaf, a flower, a fruit, even a water also, with ultimate dedication, then I accept the same with love." (9/26). (Here you can understand the power of love. You can force the infinite God with ultimate love and dedication to come to you. You are part of the infinite God and doing stupid things out of your ego only. The love of the infinite God for the soul can be easily understood.) "Look Arjuna, what ever you do, what ever you eat, what ever you put in the holy fire, what ever you donate, what ever you dedication you do, dedicate to Me." (9/27). "If you dedicate everything to Me only, you will be free from the bad or good fruits of your karma. Then you will come to Me only." (9/28). "I am there in every soul with equal quantity. Nobody is more or less closer to Me or away from Me. But the ones, who worship Me with love are there in Me and I am in them. "(9/28). (As you tend to lose your ego, you go more and more close to that infinite God.) "Even if some body, who has done all the bad things, worship Me with ultimate dedication, should be called as holy man. Because he has faith on Me." (9/29). ( If you worship the ultimate God, you do not get the bad fruits of your bad karma also.) "Shortly that bad man becomes holy man. He obtains the ultimate peace of mind. Look Arjuna, know this fact that My follower is never get destroyed." (9/31). " Look Arjuna, females, Vaishya, Shudra, (all these are considered as not suitable to worship the God and of lower quality) or may be any body else, when surrender Me, goes to that ultimate place of Mine." (9/32). (The Brahman only is considered fit to perform holy rituals as per the ancient belief. Here the Lord Krishna has categorically given equal right to every body to obtain the infinite place. That is very logical, but may hurt the ego of many so called holy people.) "Then is it necessary to tell that the holy Brahman and the Kshatriya come to Me, when they surrender to infinite Me? So you worship Me only, as you get this life, which is there with out happiness and will perish in no time." (9/33). (Nobody is happy. Everybody is in search of happiness. You search happiness in the material things and go on doing bad things to get the happiness. That attempt is futile. Material things can give you absence of unhappiness. Life is too short and so should be spent in helping out needy ones and in worship of the infinite God.) "You concentrate on the infinite Me, you worship the infinite Me, you dedicate yourself to infinite Me, you surrender to infinite Me. then you will come to infinite Me. ( 9/34).
