The Yoga of the Vision of the Universal Form

Krishna describes the qualities of one who reaches him through devotion. 'Mat-karma-kṛn mat-paramo mad-bhaktaḥ'—one who does My work (mat-karma-kṛt), considering Me as the supreme (mat-paramah), My devotee (mat-bhaktaḥ). 'Saṅga-varjitaḥ nirvairaḥ sarva-bhūteṣu'—free from attachment (saṅga-varjitaḥ), without enmity (nirvairaḥ) toward all beings (sarva-bhūteṣu). 'Yaḥ sa mām eti pāṇḍava'—who (yaḥ) that person (saḥ) reaches Me (mām eti), O Arjuna (pāṇḍava). Krishna describes the qualities of a true devotee: one who does Krishna's work, considers Krishna as the supreme, is Krishna's devotee, free from attachment, and without enmity toward all beings. Such a person reaches Krishna. This verse shows the path and the qualities needed for exclusive devotion—doing Krishna's work, considering him supreme, being free from attachment, and having no enmity toward any being.
