Worship of Iswara is the Easiest - 26-28
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 9 - Rajavidya Rajaguhya Yoga - Sloka 28
Shubha ashubha phalaih evam mochasyase karman bandhanaih I
Samnyasa yoga yuktatma vimuchatah mam upaishyasi II sloka 28
शुभ अशुभ फलैः एवं मोचस्यसे कर्मन् बन्धनैः I
शुभ अशुभ फलैः एवं मोचस्यसे कर्मन् बन्धनैः I
संन्यास योग युक्तात्मा विमुच्तः मां उपैष्यसि I I श्लोक 28
Thus you shall be free from the bondage of actions yielding good and bad results. With the mind firmly set in the yoga of renunciation and liberated, you shall come to me.
The good and bad results of karma contribute for the continuity of the cycle of births. But when they are all offered to god, they become ineffective as burnt seeds, unable to sprout any further. The yogi is in this way freed from bondage.
The conflict between engaging oneself in action and emerging from it gets reconciled in sanyasya yoga; All selfishness is renounced; that way it is sanyasa. Work is vigorously done for the sake of the lord; that way it is yoga. Such a yogi is a jivan-mukta while yet in body; he becomes a videha mukta when he drops the body.
What should you do when you are in this world? You should dedicate your everything to the Lord. You take reffuge in him. Then you will have no misery whatsoever. You will forthwith get to the Lord.
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
