Chapter 7 verse 29
“Those who take shelter in me, striving for liberation from old-age and death, come to know Brahman, the individual self, and the entire field of karmic action.”
Krishna in this verse refers to 3 different concepts- Supreme Self-Brahman or Paramatma, Jiva-Individual Self and the prakriti-field of karmic action. By total surrender to Divine and nothing else, a being-Jiva is able to transcend karma, jnana, yoga and reach Brahman through dedication and Bhakti. This verse signifies the importance of Bhakti. The fact is that if karma yoga, jnana yoga and ashtanga yoga does not result in total surrender to the Divine-Bhakti yoga, then something is missing in the individual’s practice. All these roads lead to the ability for the individual soul to surrender and merge with the Divine. That’s the GOAL!
