।।12.7।।ये तु लौकिकानि देहयात्राशेषभूतानि देहधारणार्थानि च अशनादीनि कर्माणि? वैदिकानि च यागदानहोमतपःप्रभृतीनि सर्वाणि सकारणानि सोद्देश्यानि अध्यात्मचेतसा मयि संन्यस्य? मत्पराः मदेकप्राप्याः,अनन्येन एव योगेन मां ध्यायन्तः उपासते? ध्यानार्चनप्रणामस्तुतिकीर्तनादीनि स्वयम् एव अत्यर्थप्रियाणि प्राप्यसमानि कुर्वन्तो माम् उपासते इत्यर्थः। तेषां मत्प्राप्तिविरोधितया मृत्युभूतान् संसाराख्यात् सागराद् अहम् अचिरेण एव कालेन समुद्धर्ता भवामि।
12.6 - 12.7 But those who, with a mind 'focused on Me,' the Supreme Self, and 'intent upon Me,' namely, holding Me as their sole object, dedicating to Me all their actions - i.e., including all worldly actions like eating which are meant for supporting the body, as also Vedic rites like sacrifices, gifts, fire-offerings, austerities etc., generally done by worldly-minded people for other purposes - worship Me and meditate on Me with exclusive devotion, namely, with devotion without any other purpose, adoring Me by all such acts as meditation, worship, prostration, praises and hymns which are by themselves exceedingly dear to them and are eal to the end itself - to these I become soon their saviour from the sea of Samsara which, on account of its being antagonistic to the attainment of Myself, is deadly.
