esa te 'bhihita sankhye<br />

buddhir yoge tv imam srnu<br />

buddhya yukto yaya partha<br />

karma-bandham prahasyasi<br />

O Partha, so far I have described to you about the true knowledge of self.<br />

Now listen to the knowledge of <strong>Bhakti</strong>-yoga i.e. the loving service to the<br />

Supreme Lord, with the help of which you will be able to free yourself<br />

completely from the bondage of action.<br />

In this <strong>Bhakti</strong>-yoga, no effort is ever lost and no harm is ever done. Even a<br />

little of this devotional service delivers a man from great fear.<br />

O descendant of Kuru, those who have chosen this path of loving service,<br />

their intelligence is steadfast and their aim is one. But those who are irresolute,<br />

their intelligence is manifold.<br />

bhogaisvarya-gatim prati<br />

O Partha, the flowery words of the Vedas which promises various fruitive<br />

activities like elevation to heavenly planets, higher birth, power, etc. attract the<br />

less intelligent persons. Being desirous of sense gratification and opulence they<br />

say that there is nothing more than this in this world.<br />
