1 Arjuna said: Those devotees who ever harmonised worship Thee, and those also who worship the Indestructible, the Unmanifested, whether of these is the more learned in yoga?
Wherever is Krishna, Yoga's Lord, wherever is Pârtha, the archer, assured are there prosperity, victory and happiness. So I think. 18:78
12:1-20
1 Arjuna said: Those devotees who ever harmonised worship Thee, and those also who worship the Indestructible, the Unmanifested, whether of these is the more learned in yoga?
Arjuna said, "Who is more learned in yoga?"
2The Blessed Lord said: They who with mind fixed on Me ever harmonised worship Me, with faith supreme endowed, these, in My opinion, are best in yoga.
Krishna said,
Those who worship me are, in my opinion, the best at yoga.
3They who worship the Indestructible, the Ineffable, the unmanifested, Omnipresent, and Unthinkable, the Unchanging, Immutable, Eternal,
4Restraining and subduing the senses, regarding everything equally, in the welfare of all rejoicing, these also come unto Me.
5The difficulty of those whose minds are set on the Unmanifested is greater; for the path of the Unmanifested is hard for the embodied to reach.
6Those verily who, renouncing all actions in Me and intent on Me, worship meditating on Me, with whole-hearted yoga,
I will save those who worship and meditate on me with whole-hearted yoga
from death and existence.
7These I speedily lift up from the ocean of death and existence, O Pârtha, their minds being fixed on Me.
8Place thy mind in me, into Me let thy Reason enter; then without doubt thou shalt abide in Me hereafter.
9And if thou art not able firmly to fix thy mind on Me, then by the yoga of practice seek to reach Me, O Dhananjaya.
10If also thou art not equal to constant practice, be intent on My service; performing actions for My sake, thou shalt attain perfection.
11If even to do this thou hast not strength, then, taking refuge in union with Me, renounce all fruit of action with the self controlled.
12Better indeed is wisdom than constant-practice; than wisdom, meditation is better; than meditation, renunciation of the fruit of action; on renunciation follows peace.
13He who beareth no ill-will to any being, friendly and compassionate, without attachment and egoism, balanced in pleasure and pain, and forgiving,
14Ever content, harmonious, with the self-controlled, resolute, with mind and Reason dedicated to Me, he, My devotee, is dear to Me.
15He from whom the world doth not shrink away, who doth not shrink away from the world, freed from the anxieties of joy, anger, and fear, he is dear to me.
16He who wants nothing, is pure, expert, passionless, untroubled, renouncing every undertaking, he, My devotee, is dear to Me.
17He who neither loveth nor hateth, nor grieveth, nor desireth, renouncing good and evil, full of devotion, he is dear to Me.
Those who renounce good, and evil and neither love nor hate, are dear to me.
18Alike to foe and friend, and also in fame and ignominy, alike in cold and heat, pleasures and pains, destitute of attachment,
19Taking equally praise and reproach, silent, wholly content with what cometh, homeless, firm in mind, full of devotion, that man is dear to Me.
20They verily who partake of this life-giving wisdom as taught herein, endued with faith, I their supreme Object, devotees, they are surpassingly dear to Me.
