Context:
नाहं वेदैर्न तपसा न दानेन न चेज्यया |
शक्य एवंविधो द्रष्टुं दृष्टवानसि मां यथा ||11.53||
Neither by the Vedas, nor by austerity, nor by gifts,
nor by sacrifice can I be seen as thou have seen me.
भक्त्या त्वनन्यया शक्य अहमेवंविधोऽर्जुन |
ज्ञातुं द्रष्टुं च तत्त्वेन प्रवेष्टुं च परन्तप ||11.54||
But by single-minded devotion, I may in this form, be known,
O Arjuna, and seen in reality, and also entered into O scorcher of foes.
मत्कर्मकृन्मत्परमो मद्भक्त: सङ्गवर्जित: |
निर्वैर: सर्वभूतेषु य: स मामेति पाण्डव ||11.55||
He who does work for me alone, and has Me for his goal,
is devoted to me, is freed from attachment, and bears enmity
towards no creature-he entered into me, O Pandava.
