Chapter 12: Bhakti Yog
arjuna uvācha
evaṁ satata-yuktā ye bhaktās tvāṁ paryupāsate
ye chāpy akṣharam avyaktaṁ teṣhāṁ ke yoga-vittamāḥ|| 1||

My Understanding : Bhakti is not just about visiting a temple; it is about seeing God in every being. True devotion is not merely sitting and performing rituals but having sincere dedication towards God. Performing pooja with the intention of fulfilling our desires is one thing, but praying to God with no expectations is entirely different. Bhakti isn’t limited to physical offerings; it is the surrender of the heart and soul to the divine. Real devotion lies in offering your mind and spirit to God.
