Chapter 12
Bhakti Yoga

6 - 7. Those who being intent on Me and with unswerving equanimity, propitiating meditating on Me, surrender the performance of their entire actions to Me, I speedily deliver them from the ocean of mortality, since ,they have set their intellect in Me.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- He who propitiates Sri Vishnu considering other gods as His wards and therefore subservient to Him, such one is known as ananya-yogi, sincere single minded Yogi. Since He had said earlier said antavattu phalam tesham - temporary is the fruit for those who propitiation other gods. Here the query is regarding the worship of Sri alone. Because Sri is close to the Lord, the doubt about worshipping her is being specially clarified.
8 – 9 – 10 – 11. On Me alone you fix you mind; dwell in intellect on Me; establishing your understaning in Me alone your will live in me ever. Of this there is no doubt. However, if you are not able to fix your thoughts steadily on Me, then by the practice of equanimity seek to reach Me, O Arjuna. If even after practice you are not able, then with Me as the singular goal let the performance of your actions be directed towards Me and you shall attain perfection. If even if that is not possible for you, then taking shelter with equanimity towards Me, renounce with self-restraint, all the fruits of your actions.
Bhashya :- Sri Krishna declares by showing alternatives that for his devotees there are no impediments at all. “What could worship of the unmanifest, verily, bring for those who propitiate Sri Vasudeva ?”, thus in Saukarayan scripture. “Rejecting other deities, those devoted ones who singularly worship Me alone are indeed superior. Because performing their actions without any expectation of fruits, I become their ultimate goal”,thus in Moksha Dharma reiterated.
