«    Bhagavad-gītā 11.54    »

bhaktyā tv ananyayā śakya
aham evaḿ-vidho 'rjuna
jñātuḿ draṣṭuḿ ca tattvena
praveṣṭuḿ ca parantapa

bhaktyā — by devotional service; tu — but; ananyayā — without being mixed with fruitive activities or speculative knowledge; śakyaḥ — possible; aham — I; evam-vidhaḥ — like this; arjuna — O Arjuna; jñātum — to know; draṣṭum — to see; ca — and; tattvena — in fact; praveṣṭum — to enter into; ca — also; parantapa — O mighty-armed one.

My dear Arjuna, only by undivided devotional service can I be understood as I am, standing before you, and can thus be seen directly. Only in this way can you enter into the mysteries of My understanding.
