Through devotional service, and only then, can one know Me as I am. And the being who, through such devotion, becomes fully conscious of My Person, then enters My absolute Kingdom.

Though engaged in all kinds of activities, My devotee, under My protection, reaches, by My grace, the eternal and imperishable Abode.

In all your actions, depend only on Me, and always place yourself under My protection. This devotional service, perform it in full awareness of My Person.

If you become conscious of Me, all the obstacles of conditioned existence, by My grace you will overcome them. If, however, you do not act with such awareness, but with the false ego, closing your ear to Me, you will be lost.

If you do not act according to My directives, if you refuse to fight the battle, you will be misled. And, by your nature, you will still have to fight.

Under the influence of illusion, you now refuse to act according to My instructions. But, compelled by your own nature, you will have to act the same.

The Supreme Lord stands in the hearts of all beings, and directs the wanderings of all of them, who are each as if on a machine (the body), consisting of material energy.

Surrender yourself entirely to Him. By His grace, you will know absolute peace, and you will reach the eternal and supreme Abode.

Thus have I revealed to you the most secret of all knowledge. Reflect carefully and then act as you please.

If I reveal to you this most secret part of knowledge, it is because you are My dearest friend. Listen to My word, for I say it for your good.

Always fill your mind with Me, and become My devotee. Offer Me your homage, devote your worship to Me, and to Me you will come. This I promise you, for you are My infinitely dear friend.

Leave all other forms of religion behind and simply surrender to Me. All the consequences of your faults, I will free you from them. Have no fear.

This secret knowledge cannot be revealed to men who are neither austere, nor devoted, nor engaged in devotional service, or who envy Me.

For one who teaches this supreme secret to My devotees, progress in devotional service is assured, and in the end, no doubt, he will return to Me.

None of my servants in this world is dearer to Me than he is, and none will ever be dearer to Me.
