ये चाप्यक्षरमव्यक्तं तेषां के योगवित्तमाः ॥ १२-१॥
arjuna uvāca
evaṃ satatayuktā ye bhaktāstvāṃ paryupāsate
ye cāpyakṣaramavyaktaṃ teṣāṃ ke yogavittamāḥ 12-1
Those devotees who, eversteadfast, thus worship you, and also those who worship the imperishable, the unmanifested — which of them are better versed in YOGA?
श्रीभगवानुवाच ।
मय्यावेश्य मनो ये मां नित्ययुक्ता उपासते ।
श्रद्धया परयोपेताः ते मे युक्ततमा मताः ॥ १२-२॥
śrībhagavānuvāca
mayyāveśya mano ye māṃ nityayuktā upāsate
śraddhayā parayopetāḥ te me yuktatamā matāḥ 12-2
The Blessed Lord said: Those who, fixing their mind on Me, worship Me, ever steadfast and endowed with supreme faith, these, in my opinion, are the best in YOGA.
ये त्वक्षरमनिर्देश्यमव्यक्तं पर्युपासते ।
सर्वत्रगमचिन्त्यञ्च कूटस्थमचलन्ध्रुवम् ॥ १२-३॥

Those who worship the imperishable, the indefinable, the unmanifest, the omnipresent, the unthinkable. the unchangeable. the immovable and the eternal, . . .

ते प्राप्नुवन्ति मामेव सर्वभूतहिते रताः ॥ १२-४॥
sanniyamyendriyagrāmaṃ sarvatra samabuddhayaḥ
te prāpnuvanti māmeva sarvabhūtahite ratāḥ 12-4
Having restrained all the senses, even-minded everywhere, rejoicing ever in the welfare of all beings — verily theyalso come unto Me.
क्लेशोऽधिकतरस्तेषामव्यक्तासक्तचेतसाम् ।
अव्यक्ता हि गतिर्दुःखं देहवद्भिरवाप्यते ॥ १२-५॥
kleśo’dhikatarasteṣām avyaktāsaktacetasām
avyaktā hi gatirduḥkhaṃ dehavadbhiravāpyate 12-5
Greater is their trouble whose minds are set on the Unmanifest ; for the goal, the Unmanifest, is very hard for the embodied to reach.
ये तु सर्वाणि कर्माणि मयि संन्यस्य मत्पराः ।
अनन्येनैव योगेन मां ध्यायन्त उपासते ॥ १२-६॥
ye tu sarvāṇi karmāṇi mayi saṃnyasya matparāḥ
ananyenaiva yogena māṃ dhyāyanta upāsate 12-6
But those who worship Me, renouncing all actions in Me, regarding Me as the Supreme Goal, meditating on Me with single-minded devotion (YOGA) . . .

bhavāmi nacirātpārtha mayyāveśitacetasām 12-7
For them, whose minds are set on Me, verily I become, ere-long, O Partha, the Saviour, (to save them) out of the ocean of finite experiences; the SAMSARA.
मय्येव मन आधत्स्व मयि बुद्धिं निवेशय ।
निवसिष्यसि मय्येव अत ऊर्ध्वं न संशयः ॥ १२-८॥
mayyeva mana ādhatsva mayi buddhiṃ niveśaya
nivasiṣyasi mayyeva ata ūrdhvaṃ na saṃśayaḥ 12-8
Fix your mind on Me only, place your intellect in Me; then, (thereafter) you shall, no doubt, live in Me alone.
अथ चित्तं समाधातुं न शक्नोषि मयि स्थिरम् ।
अभ्यासयोगेन ततो मामिच्छाप्तुं धनञ्जय ॥ १२-९॥

abhyāsayogena tato māmicchāptuṃ dhanañjaya 12-9
If you are unable to fix your mind steadily upon Me, then by the YOGA -of constant-practice, seek to reach Me, O Dhananjaya.

sarvakarmaphalatyāgaṃ tataḥ kuru yatātmavān 12-11
If you are unable to do even this, then taking refuge in Me, self-controlled, renounce the fruits-of-all-actions.
श्रेयो हि ज्ञानमभ्यासाज्ज्ञानाद्ध्यानं विशिष्यते ।

śreyo hi jñānamabhyāsāj jñānāddhyānaṃ viśiṣyate
dhyānātkarmaphalatyāgas tyāgācchāntiranantaram 12-12
Knowledge is indeed better than practice ; meditation is better than knowledge ; renunciation of the fruits-of-actions is better than meditation ; peace immediately follows renunciation.
