And by such other principles regarding the Warfare. "He from whom all the creatures are energised, by whom all this is pervaded, by propitiating Him by performance of one's actions, the human being attains perfection." [1]. "Preferable is one's own ordained Dharma (perennial Principle) even though imperfect, thern following Dharma ordained for others, even though followed perfectly. Death in performance of one's own Dharma is preferable for the Dharma ordained for others is fraught with danger." [2]. "The most secret of all (the secrets) listen again to My Supreme Words. Well loved and established one you are to Me, therefore, I will tell you what is good for you" [3]. "Fix your mind on Me, be devoted to Me, perform sacrifices to Me, prostrate before Me, so that you shall come to Me alone. That is the Truth which I speak to you, for you are dear to Me" [4]. "Abandoning all the constraints placed by the Perennial Principles, take refuge in Me alone. I will deliver you from all the demerits. Do not be grieved." [5]. By such and other verses (it is recommended that) adoration to the Lord by following Dharmic principles is the sole form of action and all other than these, are to be avoided.
"I cannot be realized either through Vedas or through austerities or by charity or by sacrifices in this form which you have seen Me now. " [6]. "But by intense communion, O Arjuna, I am capable to be known, truly seen and in principle have similarity with Me." [7]. By such and other verses, (it is declared that) devotion to Sri Vishnu alone is the surest amongst all the means of deliverance for men of wisdom, for their indirect as well as direct realization, they being subservient to the Lord. "One who is intent in doing My work, one who looks to Me as the Supreme, one who is in communion with Me, is freed from attachments, without enmity towards any creatures, he, verily, is verey' similar to Me, O Pandava." [8] Here it is clarified that the devotees .should perform works in the form of adoration to the Lord and avoid the works which are not so recommended. "Therefore, perform your actions even as the ancients did perform in former times" [9]. By such statement, work for the Lord for the men of wisdom (is recommended)." “This form of Mine which is difficult to be seen, has been seen by you. Even the Gods are ever eager to see this form" [10]. "Well loved and established one you are to Me, therefore, I will tell you what is good for you" [11]. "The divine attributes are for deliverance and non-divine attributes for bondage. However, do not grieve, O Arjuna, for you are born with the divine attributes". [12]. "But the great-souled, O Partha, abiding in My divine nature, propitiate Me with undistracted mind, aware of this imperishable source of beings." [13]. "Sri Hari revealed to Partha, His Supreme and' brilliant form"[14]. By such and other verses, best qualifications are pointed to Arjuna and also the Wisdom for direct realization.
