12.1
एवं सततयुक्ता ये भक्तास्त्वां पर्युपासते ।
येचाप्यक्षरमव्यक्तं तेषां के योगवित्तमाः ॥ १२.१ ॥
Arjuna said: Those devotees who, ever steadfast in this way, worship you, and those who worship the imperishable, the unmanifest — which of these know yoga best?
12.2
मय्यावेश्य मनो ये मां नित्ययुक्ता उपासते ।
श्रद्धया परयोपेतास्ते मे युक्ततमा मताः ॥ १२.२ ॥
The Lord said: Those who fix their minds on me and worship me, ever steadfast and endowed with supreme faith, I consider the most perfect in yoga.
12.3
ये त्वक्षरमनिर्देश्यमव्यक्तं पर्युपासते ।
सर्वत्रगमचिन्त्यं च कूटस्थमचलं ध्रुवम् ॥ १२.३ ॥
But those who worship the imperishable, the indefinable, the unmanifest, the all-pervading, the unthinkable, the unchanging, the immovable, the constant —
12.4
संनियम्येन्द्रियग्रामं सर्वत्र समबुद्धयः ।
ते प्राप्नुवन्ति मामेव सर्वभूतहिते रताः ॥ १२.४ ॥
restraining all the senses, even-minded everywhere, delighting in the welfare of all beings — they too attain me alone.
12.5
क्लेशोऽधिकतरस्तेषामव्यक्तासक्तचेतसाम् ।
अव्यक्ता हि गतिर्दुःखं देहवद्भिरवाप्यते ॥ १२.५ ॥
Greater is the struggle of those whose minds are set on the unmanifest, for the unmanifest goal is reached with hardship by the embodied.
12.6
ये तु सर्वाणि कर्माणि मयि संन्यस्य मत्पराः ।
अनन्येनैव योगेन मां ध्यायन्त उपासते ॥ १२.६ ॥
But those who, surrendering all actions to me and intent on me as the supreme, worship me, meditating on me with undivided yoga —
12.7
तेषामहं समुद्धर्ता मृत्युसंसारसागरात् ।
भवामि नचिरात्पार्थ मय्यावेशितचेतसाम् ॥ १२.७ ॥
For those whose minds are absorbed in me, Pārtha, I soon become the deliverer from the ocean of death and saṃsāra.
12.8
मय्येव मन आधत्स्व मयि बुद्धिं निवेशय ।
निवसिष्यसि मय्येव अत ऊर्ध्वं न संशयः ॥ १२.८ ॥
Fix your mind on me alone, let your intellect enter into me. Thereafter you will dwell in me alone; of this there is no doubt.
12.9
अथ चित्तं समाधातुं न शक्नोषि मयि स्थिरम् ।
अभ्यासयोगेन ततो मामिच्छाप्तुं धनञ्जय ॥ १२.९ ॥
If you cannot settle your mind steadily on me, then seek to reach me through the yoga of practice, Dhanañjaya.
12.10
अभ्यासेऽप्यसमर्थोऽसि मत्कर्मपरमो भव ।
मदर्थमपि कर्माणि कुर्वन् सिद्धिमवाप्स्यसि ॥ १२.१० ॥
If you are unable even to practise, be intent on work done for me. Even by performing actions for my sake, you will attain perfection.
12.11
अथैतदप्यशक्तोऽसि कर्तुं मद्योगमाश्रितः ।
सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं ततः कुरु यतात्मवान् ॥ १२.११ ॥
If you are unable to do even this, then, taking refuge in my yoga and self-controlled, give up the fruits of all actions.
12.12
श्रेयो हि ज्ञानमभ्यासाज्ज्ञानाद्ध्यानं विशिष्यते ।
ध्यानात्कर्मफलत्यागस्त्यागाच्छान्तिरनन्तरम् ॥ १२.१२ ॥
Knowledge is indeed better than practice; meditation surpasses knowledge; renouncing the fruits of action surpasses meditation, and from renunciation peace follows at once.
12.13
अद्वेष्टा सर्वभूतानां मैत्रः करुण एव च ।
निर्ममो निरहङ्कारः समदुःखसुखः क्षमी ॥ १२.१३ ॥
One who bears ill will toward no being, who is friendly and compassionate, free from possessiveness and ego, the same in pain and pleasure, and forgiving,
12.14
सन्तुष्टः सततं योगी यतात्मा दृढनिश्चयः ।
मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्यो मद्भक्तः स मे प्रियः ॥ १२.१४ ॥
ever content, a yogī, self-controlled and firm in resolve, with mind and intellect offered to me—such a devotee of mine is dear to me.
12.15
यस्मान्नोद्विजते लोको लोकान्नोद्विजते च यः ।
हर्षामर्षभयोद्वेगैर्मुक्तो यः स च मे प्रियः ॥ १२.१५ ॥
He by whom the world is not disturbed and who is not disturbed by the world, who is free from elation, resentment, fear and agitation—he too is dear to me.
12.16
अनपेक्षः शुचिर्दक्ष उदासीनो गतव्यथः ।
सर्वारम्भपरित्यागी यो मद्भक्तः स मे प्रियः ॥ १२.१६ ॥
He who is free from expectation, pure, skilful, impartial and untroubled, who has given up all undertakings—such a devotee of mine is dear to me.
12.17
यो न हृष्यति न द्वेष्टि न शोचति न काङ्क्षति ।
शुभाशुभपरित्यागी भक्तिमान्यः स मे प्रियः ॥ १२.१७ ॥
He who neither rejoices nor hates, neither grieves nor craves, who has renounced both good and evil, and is full of devotion—he is dear to me.
12.18
समः शत्रौ च मित्रे च तथा मानापमानयोः ।
शीतोष्णसुखदुःखेषु समः सङ्गविवर्जितः ॥ १२.१८ ॥
The same toward foe and friend, and likewise in honour and dishonour, the same in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, free from attachment,
12.19
तुल्यनिन्दास्तुतिर्मौनी सन्तुष्टो येनकेनचित् ।
अनिकेतः स्थिरमतिर्भक्तिमान्मे प्रियो नरः ॥ १२.१९ ॥
Equal in blame and praise, silent, content with whatever comes, without a fixed home, steady in mind and full of devotion: that person is dear to me.
12.20
ये तु धर्म्यामृतमिदं यथोक्तं पर्युपासते ।
श्रद्दधाना मत्परमा भक्तास्तेऽतीव मे प्रियाः ॥ १२.२० ॥
But those devotees who, with faith and holding me as supreme, follow this immortal teaching of dharma just as it has been declared, are exceedingly dear to me.
