Bhagavad Gita 12.6 · Krishna
Offering every action
ये तु सर्वाणि कर्माणि मयि संन्यस्य मत्परः।
अनन्येनैव योगेन मां ध्यायन्त उपासते॥
ye tu sarvāṇi karmāṇi mayi saṃnyasya matparaḥananyenaiva yogena māṃ dhyāyanta upāsate
But those who offer all their actions to Me, hold Me as the highest, and meditate on Me with undivided yoga...
Words
- yoga
What it means
Krishna describes the devotee's way. They offer all their actions to him. They hold him as the highest. They meditate on him with ananya yoga, undivided connection. Work, worship and thought all flow toward one beloved.
The story
This verse joins everything Arjuna has learned. Karma yoga, offering action. Meditation. And now bhakti, love. All three become one movement of the heart.
In your life
Imagine a parent whose cooking, working and worrying are all, really, for their children. Everything flows toward love. Choose one person or ideal today, and offer your actions to them.
Let every action flow toward love.
