Shloka Translation
BG – Ch. 12- Ver. 6 & 7:

Those who abandon all actions in me and are solely focused on me concentrate on me through single-pointed yoga of worship. I immediately become their uplifter from samsara, the ocean of death, for those whose minds are set on me, O Paartha.

Explanation

Shree Krishna emphasizes that His disciples swiftly reach Him. To begin with, individuals can easily focus their intellect and senses on God’s personal form as the object of their devotion. They use their tongues and ears to chant and hear God’s holy Names, their eyes to behold the image of His divine form, their bodies to perform activities for

His delight, their minds to ponder His marvelous pastimes and virtues, and their intellect to ponder His glory. They swiftly merge their consciousness with God in this way.

God immediately bestows His blessing upon such devotees and removes the impediments in their way because they consistently offer their hearts in unbroken devotion. With the candle of wisdom, He dispels the ignorance of those who are in touch with Him. As a result, God becomes the Savior of His worshippers, delivering them from the cycle of life and death.

Verse & what we can learn

Shri Krishna has previously compared those who worship the formless Ishvara to those who worship the formless Ishvara, concluding that those who worship the formless Ishvara had more trouble. Shri Krishna highlights the qualifications of an Ishvara worshipper in form, which is the path most of us will choose.

First, we must surrender all of our actions to Ishvara, or do karma yoga. We typically want a tangible material result (monetary profit), an emotional result (pleasure), or an intellectual result when we take any action (satisfaction). If our actions do not go as planned, we may experience loss, sorrow, or discontent. We leave the outcome to Ishvara when we conduct deeds for the sake of renunciation to Ishvara, whether it is favourable or not.

Our mind and intellect are not continuously destabilized by life’s ups and downs when we do this, leaving them free to contemplate Ishvara’s higher aim. However, this may only be accomplished via the practice of “ananya,” or single-pointed adoration.

The world is made up of objects that are both names and forms at the same time: naamaroopa (name and form) and Ishvara. The Ishvara in us desires to communicate with the Ishvara in those items, but we make the mistake of allowing our senses to focus on the objects’ names and forms. Samsara is the pursuit of objects in the hope of gaining happiness, but instead receiving sadness. Chasing objects repeatedly ensures that the birth and death cycle continues.

Ishvara himself saves devotees who worship Ishvara with form and meet the conditions given in the previous shloka, according to Shri Krishna. This procedure is “nachiraat,” or quick, in contrast to most material endeavours that take a lengthy period. The most important need is that we only conceive of Ishvara as the ultimate objective. In a nutshell, this is “saguna upasaana,” or Ishvara worship with form. Shri Krishna now lists the many yogas or practices that can be used to achieve Ishvara.

To acquire knowledge and to implement that knowledge in life one needs to be mentally and physically active and healthy and for that daily meditation is a great tool.

There are various types of meditation like Buddhist meditation, heartfulness meditation, mindfulness meditation, meditation for stress, and each meditation benefits are countless. There is also numerous meditation techniques for beginners which help in practicing daily meditation so go ahead and start your journey towards a peaceful and balanced life.

In the next shloka Shri Krishna tells Arjuna to fix his mind on him and surrender to him.
