Bhagavad Gita 14.26

मां च योऽव्यभिचारेण भक्ितयोगेन सेवते।स गुणान्समतीत्यैतान् ब्रह्मभूयाय कल्पते॥

māṁ cha yo ’vyabhichāreṇa bhakti-yogena sevate sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate

Translation

And he who serveth Me exclusively by the Yoga of devotion, he, crossing beyond the qualities, he is fit to become the Eternal.

What it means

And one who serves Me with unswerving yoga of devotion crosses beyond the gunas and becomes fit for oneness with the Eternal. Devotion is given as the elevator past all three qualities. Love outruns analysis.

Try this today

The devotional shortcut: single-hearted service crosses all three modes at once.

Something to reflect on

Could love get me across faster than analysis has?
