Chapter 11 · The Vision of the Universal Form · Krishna said
Bhagavad Gita 11.54 — Seen through pure devotion
भक्त्या त्वनन्यया शक्य अहमेवंविधोऽर्जुन। ज्ञातुं द्रष्टुं च तत्त्वेन प्रवेष्टुं च परन्तप ॥
bhaktyā tvananyayā śakya ahamevaṃvidho'rjuna | jñātuṃ draṣṭuṃ ca tattvena praveṣṭuṃ ca parantapa ||
Meaning
But through single-minded devotion alone, Arjuna, I can be known in this way, seen truly, and entered into.
In today's life
Rituals and learning have value, but tradition holds that loving, one-pointed devotion is what truly brings us close to God.
