When a mortal surrenders to me and offers all their fruitful work in their desire to serve me with love and devotion, they attain freedom from birth and death, and qualify to attain immortality, sharing in my nature, and the opulence that accompanies me.

If someone becomes my devotee and surrenders themselves fully to me, I grant them special attention.

You may proclaim it emphatically, my devotee will never perish.

Only through devotional service, and only thus, can one know me as I am. And the being who, through such devotion, becomes fully conscious of me, can then enter my absolute realm.

Only by serving me with undivided love and devotion can one know me as I am, standing before you, and likewise, truly see me. Thus, and only thus, can the mystery of my Person be pierced.

For those who worship me, abandon all their actions to me, and devote themselves to me undividedly, absorbed in devotional service and constantly meditating on me—for them, I am the liberator, who will soon rescue them from the ocean of death and rebirth. If someone offers me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, I will accept that offering.

Always fill your mind with me and become my full devotee, constantly dedicate your adoration to me, and simply surrender it to me. This is the only way to access my kingdom. I reveal to you here the most secret of knowledge.

Men freed from these dualities (good-evil, hot-cold, victory-defeat, just-unjust, true-false, etc.), the fruits of illusion, men who, in their past lives as in this life, were virtuous, men in whom sin have ceased—they serve me with determination.

Always singing my glories, prostrating themselves before me, greatly determined in their spiritual efforts, magnanimous souls worship me with love and devotion.

Among thousands of men, perhaps only one will seek perfection, and among those who attain it, rare is the one who truly knows me.

He who knows the Absolute of my advent and my acts will no longer have to be reborn in the material universe. After leaving his body, he will enter my eternal kingdom.

When they have attained Me, the holy beings imbued with devotion, these noble souls, having thus elevated themselves to the highest perfection, never return to this fleeting world where suffering reigns.

I am equal to all. No one is my enemy, no one is my friend.
