अनपेक्षः शुचिर्दक्ष उदासीनो गतव्यथः ।
सर्वारम्भपरित्यागी यो मद्भक्तः स मे प्रियः ॥
అనపేక్షః శుచిర్దక్ష ఉదాసీనో గతవ్యథః ।
సర్వారమ్భపరిత్యాగీ యో మద్భక్తః స మే ప్రియః ॥
anapekṣaḥ śucirdakṣa udāsīno gatavyathaḥ |
sarvārambhaparityāgī yo madbhaktaḥ sa me priyaḥ ||
About chapter 12
Arjuna asks whether worshipping God with form or the formless Absolute is better. Krishna says those who fix their minds on him with steady faith are the best yogis; the formless path is harder for embodied beings. He then describes the qualities of a devotee dear to him: free from hatred, friendly and compassionate, content, steady in joy and sorrow, and equal to friend and foe.
