The Discipline of the Supreme Person) — Chapter 15 (Bhagavadgītā
सम्बन्ध--अनन्य भक्तिके द्वार भ्रगवानको देखना
Arjuna uvāca: mat-karmakṛn mat-paramo mad-bhaktaḥ saṅga-varjitaḥ | nirvairaḥ sarva-bhūteṣu yaḥ sa mām eti pāṇḍava ||
“Ang sinumang kumikilos para sa Akin, na itinuturing Ako bilang pinakamataas na layunin, na tapat na deboto Ko, malaya sa pagkakapit, at walang poot sa alinmang nilalang—siya’y dumarating sa Akin, O anak ni Pāṇḍu.”

Educational Q&A
The verse defines the qualities of the devotee who attains the Divine: acting as an offering, keeping the Divine as the highest goal, maintaining devotion, renouncing attachment, and cultivating non-enmity toward all beings.
In the midst of the Kurukṣetra discourse, Arjuna asks about the nature of exclusive devotion; the teaching responds by listing practical traits that mark such devotion and lead to union with the Divine.
