1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 12 - Bhakti Yoga - Sloka 2

The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbhavananda's translation of Bhagavad Gita  published by Ramakrishna Mission

Brahman With or Without Attributes 1-5
1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 12 - Bhakti Yoga - Sloka 2


Shri Bhagavan Uvacha
Mayi aveshya manah ye mam nityam yuktah upasate I
Shraddhaya paraya upaetah te me yukta tama matah II sloka 2

श्री भगवान उवाच 
मयि आवेश्य मनः ये माम् नित्यम् युक्तः उपासते I 
श्रद्धया परया उपेताः ते मे युक्त तमाः मताः II श्लोक 2

The Blessed Lord said
Those who have fixed their minds on Me, and who, ever steadfast  and endowed with supreme shraddha, worship Me - them do I consider perfect in yoga

The Lord is having the cosmos for his physical body. He is the Saguna Brahman. He rules the universe. He is the Lord of the yogis, the Omniscient. His devotees are they who have dedicated themselves to his worship. They are free from attachment, aversion and angularities. Thought of the Lord alone dominates their hearts day and night. They live for the perfect service of the Lord and are therefore the perfect yogis. 

Are they not yogis, who take the adoration of the attributeless Absolute Reality ? The answer is given in the next sloka
