The Lord begins this chapter saying that he will reveal the most secret knowledge which is easy to practice and directly enjoyable. This is the path of devotion and it is very easy to practice.
The Lord then says that devotion comes from the knowledge that the Lord is present in all beings but yet but he is not restricted to them. The entire creation is brought about by nature under the Lord’s supervision. The fools who do not understand this think low of the Lord, while those with divine nature constantly worship Him. Others worship the Lord within themselves while still others consider the Lord to be in different celestial forms.
The Lord says that he is the worshipped, as well as the worshipper, the father, mother, grandfather, the supreme goal, supporter, lord, witness, abode, friend, refuge, origin, seed and end. When people worship with a motive, then they are reborn, but those devotees who constantly worship the Lord without any other motive reach Him.
The Lord says that he accepts even a leaf, flower or even water when a true devotee offers it with love. He says that all our actions must be offered to him, without exception and when all actions are performed in this manner, we become freed from sin. The Lord says that he is present in all beings and when a person fixes his mind on the Lord and unites himself to the Lord and completely surrenders himself to the Lord, then he shall definitely reach the Lord.
