Important verse of Srimad Bhagvadgita-12


One who works in devotion, who is a pure soul, and who controls his mind and senses, is dear to everyone, and everyone is dear to him. Though always working, such a man is never entangled.(उलझाता )...........5:7

commentary by sri kesava kashmiri:

If it is postulated (  स्वयंसिद्धि)t hat the Brahman or spiritual substratum ( आधार ) pervading all existence is omnipresent  (   सर्वव्यापी )and transcendental             ( भावातीत ) to prakriti or material nature then how is it that a person engaged in actions within prakriti possesses the same attributes(गुण)? .To answer this Lord Krishna affirms that those practicing yoga or the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness while being engaged in actions with a pure mind, controlled senses and body and realizing that the atma or soul exists equally within all beings is the well wisher of all beings, such a yogi having overcome the duality of activity and inertia is not bound by actions. The word yoga specifically establishes that such a person is a yogi and achieving purity treats all beings equally and thus becomes transcendental to prakriti and equal to the Brahman in its attributes. Having attained the Brahman, fully peaceful in mind, neither grieving or desiring equipoise (संतुलन), in all situations and to all beings such a one obtains devotion to the Supreme. Thus the explanation given is quite appropriate.
