Chapter XII · Śloka 4
सन्नियम्येन्द्रियग्रामं सर्वत्र समबुद्धयः ।
ते प्राप्नुवन्ति मामेव सर्वभूतहिते रताः ॥
ते प्राप्नुवन्ति मामेव सर्वभूतहिते रताः ॥
sanniyamyendriya-grāmaṃ sarvatra sama-buddhayaḥ |
te prāpnuvanti mām eva sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ ||
te prāpnuvanti mām eva sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ ||
— those who have restrained all the senses, who are even-minded everywhere, engaged in the welfare of all beings — they also attain Me.
The path of the unmanifest is valid but demanding: it requires mastery over every sense, equanimity in all circumstances, and selfless compassion for all living beings. The destination is the same — union with Krishna.
