BG 12.1: Arjuna said: Those devotees, who, ever integrated, thus meditate on You, and those again, who meditate on the Imperishable and the Unmanifest—which of these have greater knowledge of Yoga?

BG 12.2: The Lord said: Those who, ever integrated with Me and possessed of supreme faith, worship Me, focusing their minds on Me—these are considered by Me the highest among the Yogins.

BG 12.3: But those who meditate on the Imperishable (i.e., the self) the indefinable, the unmanifest, omnipresent, unthinkable, common to all beings, immovable and constant;

BG 12.4: Having subdued all the senses, being even minded, engaged in the welfare of all beings—they too come to Me only.

BG 12.5: Greater is the difficulty of those whose minds are thus attached to the unmanifest. For the way of the unmanifest is hard to reach by embodied beings.

BG 12.6: For, those who dedicate all actions to Me, hold Me as their supreme goal, intent on Me, and worship Me meditating on Me with exclusive devotion;

BG 12.7: Of those whose minds are thus focused on Me, I become soon their saviour from the ocean of mortal life.

BG 12.8: Focus your mind on Me alone; and let your Buddhi enter into Me. Then, you will live in Me alone; there is no doubt.

BG 12.9: If now you are unable to focus your mind on Me, then seek to reach Me, O Arjuna, by the practice of repetition.

BG 12.10: If you are incapable of even this practice of repetition, then devote yourself to My deeds (service). For even by working for My sake, you will attain perfection.

BG 12.11: If you are unable to do even this, i.e., taking refuge in My Yoga, then, with your self controlled, renounce the fruits of every action.

BG 12.12: Far better is knowledge of the self than the repeated practice (of remembrance of the Lord). Better is meditation than this knowledge; Better is renunciation of fruits of action than meditation. From such renunciation, peace ensues.

BG 12.13: He who never hates any being, who is friendly and compassionate, who is free from the feelings of I and mine, who looks upon all pain and pleasure the same as and who is enduring;

BG 12.14: He who is content, who ever meditates and is self-restrained and who is firm in his convictions, who has his mind and reason dedicated to Me—he is dear to Me.

BG 12.15: He from whom the world has no cause to be frightened, who is not frightened by the world, who is free from joy and impatience, fear and repulsion—he is dear to me.

BG 12.16: He who is free from desires, who is pure, expert, indifferent and free from agony, who has renounced every undertakings—he is dear to Me.

BG 12.17: He who rejoices not, nor hates, nor grieves, nor desires, who renounces good and evil, who is full of devotion to me—dear to me is such a devotee.

BG 12.18: He who is same to foe and friend, honour and dishonour, who is alike to both cold and heat, pleasure and pain, and who is free from all attachments;

BG 12.19: He who regards alike both blame and praise, who is silent and content with any lot, who has no home, who is firm of mind, and who is devoted to Me—dear to Me is such a man.

BG 12.20: But those devotees who follow this nectar of virtuous duty as taught above, who are full of faith and who regard Me as the Supreme—they are exceedingly dear to Me.
