Chapter 12: Yoga of Devotion; Bhakti Yoga

In this chapter, Krishna details the path of Bhakti Yoga. Offering all our actions to Ishwara or divine and service to humanity or dharma is known as Bhakti.

Krishna explains that it is the attitude with which one performs the daily activities that lead to self-knowledge. This attitude is devotion or bhakti.

Verses 8 and 9: In Me alone, you may place the mind; into Me, you will make the intellect enter. Thereafter there is no doubt that you will abide in Me alone. Then (if) you are not able to absorb your mind steadily in Me, then through the practice of yoga may you reach Me Arjuna.
