Bhagavad Gita 12.8-13

Bhagavad Gita. Chapter 12, verses 8 to 13.

VERSE 8Fix thy mind in Me only, thy intellect in Me, (then) thou shalt no doubt live in Me alone hereafter.

VERSE 9If thou art unable to fix thy mind steadily on Me, then by the Yoga of constant practice do thou seek to reach Me, O Arjuna.

VERSE 10If thou art unable to practise even this Abhyasa Yoga, be thou intent on doing actions for My sake; even by doing actions for My sake, thou shalt attain perfection.

VERSE 11If thou art unable to do even this, then, resorting to union with Me, renounce the fruits of all actions with the self controlled.

VERSE 12Better indeed is knowledge than practice; than knowledge meditation is better; than meditation the renunciation of the fruits of actions: peace immediately follows renunciation.

VERSE 13He who hates no creature, who is friendly and compassionate to all, who is free from attachment and egoism, balanced in pleasure and pain, and forgiving.

May this wisdom bring peace to your heart. Om, shanti, shanti, shanti.
