Krishna Katha - Verse for meditation - 29/02/2012 - 01/03/2012

SB 11.12.9

yam na yogena sankhyena
dana-vrata-tapo-'dhvaraih
vyakhya-svadhyaya-sannyasaih
prapnuyad yatnavan api

 

Even though one engages with great endeavor in the mystic yoga system, philosophical speculation, charity, vows, penances, ritualistic sacrifices, teaching of Vedic mantras to others, personal study of the Vedas, or the renounced order of life, still one cannot achieve Me.

Lord Krsna


SB 11.14.20

na sadhayati mam yogo
na sankhyam dharma uddhava
na svadhyayas tapas tyago
yatha bhaktir mamorjita

 

My dear Uddhava, the unalloyed devotional service rendered to Me by My devotees brings Me under their control. I cannot be thus controlled by those engaged in mystic yoga, Sankhya philosophy, pious work, Vedic study, austerity or renunciation.

Lord Krsna
