Bhagavad Gita As It IsReferences to text BG 6.47 |
BG 6.47: And of all yogīs, the one with great faith who always abides in Me, thinks of Me within himself and renders transcendental loving service to Me – he is the most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all. That is My opinion.

| Gradually, as the mind becomes progressively spiritualized, withdraw it from sense activities, and by intelligence the senses will be controlled. The mind too absorbed in material activities can be engaged in the service of the Personality of Godhead and become fixed in full transcendental consciousness. The First Step in God Realization |
| SB 2.1.18 |
| For those who are wandering in the material universe, there is no more auspicious means of deliverance than what is aimed at in the direct devotional service of Lord Kṛṣṇa. The Lord in the Heart |
| SB 2.2.33 |
| When Dhruva MahÄrÄja thus captured the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the refuge of the total material creation and who is the master of all living entities, the three worlds began to tremble. Dhruva Maharaja Leaves Home for the Forest |
| SB 4.8.78 |
| My dear princes, in the form of a prayer I have delineated the yoga system of chanting the holy name. All of you should take this important stotra within your minds and promise to keep it in order to become great sages. By acting silently like a great sage and by giving attention and reverence, you should practice this method. Chanting the Song Sung by Lord Siva |
| SB 4.24.71 |
| Following the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, MahÄrÄja Priyavrata fully engaged in worldly affairs, yet he always thought of the lotus feet of the Lord, which are the cause of liberation from all material attachment. Although Priyavrata MahÄrÄja was completely freed from all material contamination, he ruled the material world just to honor the orders of his superiors. The Activities of Maharaja Priyavrata |
| SB 5.1.23 |
| I consider your good self the most exalted master of mystic power. You know the spiritual science perfectly well. You are the most exalted of all learned sages, and you have descended for the benefit of all human society. You have come to give spiritual knowledge, and you are a direct representative of Kapiladeva, the incarnation of God and the plenary portion of knowledge. I am therefore asking you, O spiritual master, what is the most secure shelter in this world? The Discussion Between Jada Bharata and Maharaja Rahugana |
| SB 5.10.19 |
| The seven great sages [MarÄ«ci, Vasiá¹£á¹ha, Atri and so on] reside on planets beneath Dhruvaloka. Well aware of the influence of the water of the Ganges, to this day they keep Ganges water on the tufts of hair on their heads. They have concluded that this is the ultimate wealth, the perfection of all austerities, and the best means of prosecuting transcendental life. Having obtained uninterrupted devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, they neglect all other beneficial processes like religion, economic development, sense gratification and even merging into the Supreme. Just as jñÄnÄ«s think that merging into the existence of the Lord is the highest truth, these seven exalted personalities accept devotional service as the perfection of life. The Descent of the River Ganges |
| SB 5.17.3 |
| AjÄmila fully engaged in devotional service. Thus he detached his mind from the process of sense gratification and became fully absorbed in thinking of the form of the Lord. Ajamila Delivered by the Vishnudutas |
| SB 6.2.41 |
| Dadhīci Muni controlled his senses, life force, mind and intelligence and became absorbed in trance. Thus he cut all his material bonds. He could not perceive how his material body became separated from his self. The Battle Between the Demigods and Vritrasura |
| SB 6.10.12 |
| Therefore, my dear friends, O sons of the demons, your duty is to take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, which can burn the seed of fruitive activities artificially created by the modes of material nature and stop the flow of the intelligence in wakefulness, dreaming and deep sleep. In other words, when one takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, his ignorance is immediately dissipated. What Prahlada Learned in the Womb |
| SB 7.7.28 |
| King Indra said: O Supreme Lord, You are our deliverer and protector. Our shares of sacrifices, which are actually Yours, have been recovered from the demon by You. Because the demoniac king HiraṇyakaÅ›ipu was most fearsome, our hearts, which are Your permanent abode, were all overtaken by him. Now, by Your presence, the gloom and darkness in our hearts have been dissipated. O Lord, for those who always engage in Your service, which is more exalted than liberation, all material opulence is insignificant. They do not even care for liberation, not to speak of the benefits of kÄma, artha and dharma. Lord Nrisimhadeva Slays the King of the Demons |
| SB 7.8.42 |
| Attacked by Lord Åšiva’s golden arrows, all the demoniac inhabitants of those three dwellings lost their lives and fell down. Then the great mystic Maya DÄnava dropped the demons into a nectarean well that he had created. Prahlada, the Best Among Exalted Devotees |
| SB 7.10.59 |
| While continuously staring at the tip of the nose, a learned yogī practices the breathing exercises through the technical means known as pūraka, kumbhaka and recaka — controlling inhalation and exhalation and then stopping them both. In this way the yogī restricts his mind from material attachments and gives up all mental desires. As soon as the mind, being defeated by lusty desires, drifts toward feelings of sense gratification, the yogī should immediately bring it back and arrest it within the core of his heart. Instructions for Civilized Human Beings |
| SB 7.15.32-33 |
| My Lord, those who are completely freed from material contamination always meditate upon You within the cores of their hearts. You are extremely difficult to attain for those like me who are too attached to mental concoction, home, relatives, friends, money, servants and assistants. You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, uncontaminated by the modes of nature. You are the reservoir of all enlightenment, the supreme controller. I therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto You. Gajendra's Prayers of Surrender |
| SB 8.3.18 |
| After one year, when DurvÄsÄ Muni had returned, King AmbarÄ«á¹£a sumptuously fed him all varieties of pure food, and then he himself also ate. When the King saw that the brÄhmaṇa DurvÄsÄ had been released from the great danger of being burned, he could understand that by the grace of the Lord he himself was also powerful, but he did not take any credit, for everything had been done by the Lord. Durvasa Muni's Life Spared |
| SB 9.5.24 |
| The she-goat went to the residence of a brÄhmaṇa who was the maintainer of another she-goat, and that brÄhmaṇa angrily cut off the he-goat’s dangling testicles. But at the he-goat’s request, the brÄhmaṇa later rejoined them by the power of mystic yoga. King Yayati Achieves Liberation |
| SB 9.19.10 |
| All those who followed the principles of King Rantideva were totally favored by his mercy and became pure devotees, attached to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, NÄrÄyaṇa. Thus they all became the best of yogÄ«s. The Dynasty of Bharata; |
| SB 9.21.18 |
| Having experienced a situation by seeing or hearing about it, one contemplates and speculates about that situation, and thus one surrenders to it, not considering his present body. Similarly, by mental adjustments one dreams at night of living under different circumstances, in different bodies, and forgets his actual position. Under this same process, one gives up his present body and accepts another [tathÄ dehÄntara-prÄptiḥ]. The Advent of Lord Krishna: Introduction |
| SB 10.1.41 |
| To protect the Yadus, His personal devotees, from Kaá¹sa’s attack, the Personality of Godhead, ViÅ›vÄtmÄ, the Supreme Soul of everyone, ordered Yoga-mÄyÄ as follows. Prayers by the Demigods for Lord Krishna in the Womb |
| SB 10.2.6 |
| Having perfected the yoga sitting postures and conquered the breathing process, one should make the mind steady by detachment and the regulated practice of yoga. Thus one should carefully fix the mind on the single goal of yoga practice. Detachment from All that Is Material |
