Teaching

Na buddhi-bhedam janayed ajnanam karma-sanginam, joshayed sarva-karmani vidvan yuktah samacaran

The wise should not unsettle the minds of the ignorant who are attached to action. Rather, performing all actions with devotion, one should inspire them to act. Gentle example teaches better than disruptive instruction.

Prakriti-moha-sammudha sajjante guna-karmasu, tan akrtsna-vido mandan krtsna-vin na vicalayet

Those deluded by the modes of material nature become attached to the actions of the modes. But the person of perfect knowledge should not disturb the slow in understanding who do not know the whole truth.

Ye me matam idam nityam anutishthanti manavah, shraddhavantos 'nasuyanto mucyante te 'pi karmabhih

Those who constantly follow this teaching of Mine with faith and without caviling — they too are freed from the bondage of karma. Faith in sacred teaching, combined with action, leads to liberation.

Shri bhagavan uvaca: Param bhuyah pravakshyami jnananam jnanam uttamam, yaj jnatva munayah sarve param siddhim ito gatah

The Supreme Lord says: I shall again declare that supreme knowledge, the best of all knowledge, knowing which all the sages have attained the highest perfection. Krishna introduces the teaching on the three gunas as the supreme knowledge leading to perfection.

Ya idam paramam guhyam mad-bhakteshv abhidhasyati, bhaktim mayi param kritva mam evaisyaty asanshayah

Those who teach this supreme secret to My devotees, performing the highest devotional service to Me, will certainly come to Me without doubt.

Na cha tasmān manuṣhyeṣhu kaśhchit me priya-kṛittamaḥ, bhavitā na cha me tasmād anyaḥ priyataro bhuvi

There is none among humans who does Me service more devoted than they, nor will there be anyone on earth dearer to Me.
