Bhagavad Gita 12.4

संनियम्येन्द्रियग्रामं सर्वत्र समबुद्धयः।ते प्राप्नुवन्ति मामेव सर्वभूतहिते रताः॥

sanniyamyendriya-grāmaṁ sarvatra sama-buddhayaḥ te prāpnuvanti mām eva sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ

Translation

Restraining and subduing the senses, regarding everything equally, in the welfare of all rejoicing, these also come unto Me.

What it means

Restraining the senses, equal-minded everywhere, rejoicing in the welfare of all beings: they also come to Me. The destination is the same. Equal regard for all is what proves the formless path has succeeded.

Try this today

The formless path's practitioners arrive too; the destination does not check which road you took.

Something to reflect on

Does my path, whatever its theology, produce equal regard for all - the only proof that matters?
