Bhagavad Gita 11.54

भक्त्या त्वनन्यया शक्यमहमेवंविधोऽर्जुन। ज्ञातुं दृष्टुं च तत्त्वेन प्रवेष्टुं च परंतप॥

bhaktyā tv ananyayā śhakya aham evaṁ-vidho ’rjuna jñātuṁ draṣhṭuṁ cha tattvena praveṣhṭuṁ cha parantapa

Translation

But by devotion to Me alone I may thus be perceived, Arjuna, and known and seen in essence, and entered, O Parantapa.

What it means

But by single-minded devotion I can be known in such a form, seen in essence, and entered, O Parantapa. The key is love alone. Bhakti is declared the one access road to what neither study nor effort can force.

Try this today

The single key named: devotion does what study, austerity and generosity cannot - perception, knowledge, entry.

Something to reflect on

If love alone is the key somewhere, where am I still trying credentials?
