The
following slokas are believed to contain the essence of the Gita
teaching and the last word on the subject. There can be no stronger
insistence on complete surrender to God and dependence on His Grace:
-
Put your trust in Him and have no other thought; by His Grace you
will attain supreme peace and the everlasting abode.
XVIII-62
Listen again to My supreme word, most
secret of all. You are dear to me, therefore, I emphatically declare
it for your benefit.
XVIII-64
Give all your thoughts, your worship,
your sacrifice and your salutations to Me, and you shall certainly
come to Me; I pledge my froth to you who are dear to Me.
XVIII-65
Do not depend on articles of faith or
rules of observance, but surrender yourself completely to Me; grieve
not. I will liberate you from every sin.
XVIII-66
Nought avails but God and He will
save us without doubt, whatsoever be our sin, if we grieve for them
and surrender ourselves to His Grace. |
