Bhagavad-Gita The Song Divine Chapter 12 (stanza 1-11)


Arjun said: The devotees exclusively and constantly devoted to You the manner stated just earlier, adore You as possessed of form and attributes, and those who adore as the supreme Reality only the indestructible un-manifest Brahma (who is Truth Knowledge and Bliss solidified of these two types of worshippers who are the best knower's of Yoga?

If, taking recourse to the Yoga of My realization, you are unable even to do this, then, subduing your mind and intellect etc., relinquish the fruit of all actions.  …….. (11)
