Meaning
“Performing all actions always, taking refuge in Me, by My grace one attains the eternal, imperishable abode. Mentally renouncing all actions in Me, holding Me as the highest, resorting to the yoga of understanding, fix your mind ever on Me. Fixing your mind on Me, you shall cross over all difficulties by My grace; but if from egoism you will not listen, you shall perish.”
