Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 11: The Vision of the Cosmic Form
Bhagavad Gita 11.55
मत्कर्मकृन्मत्परमो मद्भक्तः सङ्गवर्जितः ।
निर्वैरः सर्वभूतेषु यः स मामेति पाण्डव ॥
matkarmakṛnmatparamo madbhaktaḥ saṅgavarjitaḥ | nirvairaḥ sarvabhūteṣu yaḥ sa māmeti pāṇḍava ||
One who works for me, who holds me as the highest goal, who is devoted to me, free from attachment, and without hatred toward any being, comes to me, Arjuna.
Modern context
The chapter of the overwhelming vision ends with a quiet summary of how to live: work for the divine, hold it highest, love it, be free of clinging, and bear no hatred toward any being. The last condition is striking after a vision of war. Even on a battlefield, even facing enemies, the devotee is to be without hatred. Action, yes; enmity, no.
