Daivī–Āsurī Sampad-Vibhāga (दैवी–आसुरी संपद्विभागः) | Division of Constructive and Destructive Dispositions

उन सच्चिदानन्दघन निराकार ब्रह्ममें आसक्त चित्तवाले पुरुषोंके साधनमें परिश्रम विशेष है; क्योंकि देहाभिमानियोंके द्वारा अव्यक्तविषयक गति दु:खपूर्वक प्राप्त की जाती है ।। ये तु सर्वाणि कर्माणि मयि संन्यस्य मत्परा: । अनन्येनैव योगेन मां ध्यायन्त उपासते,परंतु जो मेरे परायण रहनेवाले5* भक्तजन सम्पूर्ण कर्मोंको मुझमें अर्पण करकेः मुझ सगुणरूप परमेश्वरको ही अनन्यभक्तियोगसे निरन्तर चिन्तन करते हुए भजते हैं*

ye tu sarvāṇi karmāṇi mayi saṃnyasya mat-parāḥ | ananyenaiva yogena māṃ dhyāyanta upāsate ||

But those devotees who make Me their supreme refuge—surrendering all actions into Me—worship Me by exclusive devotion, constantly meditating on Me. In the ethical context of the Gītā’s teaching, this is presented as the practical path for embodied beings: instead of clinging to the difficult pursuit of the unmanifest Absolute, they offer their duties without possessiveness and remain single-minded in devotion to the Lord who can be approached and served.

Educational Q&A

Offer every action to the Lord, keep Him as the highest aim, and worship through exclusive, single-minded devotion supported by constant meditation—this integrates duty (karma) with devotion (bhakti) as an accessible path for embodied life.

In the Gītā’s dialogue on the battlefield, the teaching shifts to contrasting approaches to the divine: instead of the arduous pursuit of the unmanifest, Krishna highlights the devotees who surrender their works to Him and worship Him with undivided attention as the recommended, practicable way.
