Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12: Bhakti, the Pre-Eminence of Devotion

Krishna then clarified that he considered those devoted to Him with unwavering faith as the best Yogis, though the worshipers of the formless, absolute truth and engaged in others’ welfare also reach Him. But the worship of the un-manifest, formless aspect is difficult. However, He would relieve those who hold Him as the Supreme goal and dedicate their actions, worship and meditate on Him, of the vicious birth-death cycle, Krishna added.      And He continued – “Those, fixing their mind and surrendering their intellect to Me, will ever live in Me. But if fixing your mind is tough, practice mind-control and remember Me with devotion. If this too is difficult, do devotional service to Me to attain perfection. When even this is not possible, renounce the results of your actions for peace.       I hold these devotees very dear to Me, who – “Are free from malice towards all, compassionate, detached, forgiving, content, treat pleasure and pain alike, and fully dedicated to Me; neither harm others nor feel agitated by anything, and are free of fear and anxiety; are pure, selfless, not bothered by worldly gains, and retain their poise; remain un-swayed by worldly pleasures or distress, gains or losses, honour or dishonour and give up the fruits of both good and bad deeds; and who treat friends and foes alike, love meditative silence, fix their intellect on Me, and are entirely in their devotion to Me.   Those who accept the wisdom propounded here with honour and faith and remain dedicated to Me as their Supreme goal- I hold them also extremely dear to My heart!”   If you would like to find out more about your chart or have a question about astrology you would love the answer to, please do connect with us at www.astroved.com Follow AstroVed on IG, Twitter, and FB @AstroVed
