Guru Geeta VI Vol III Book X Chp 22 Shlokas 10 - 17

श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच

शृणुध्वं साधवः सर्वे सर्वशास्त्रार्थसंग्रहम् |

सर्वत्र सर्वदा नित्यं कीर्तनीयो व्रजात्मजः ||

श्रीकृष्णात्परमं दैवं शास्त्रेषु न हि दृश्यते |

आलोड्य सर्वशात्राणि सत्यमेव वदाम्यहम् ||

न योगेन न सांख्येन न च श्रौतेन कर्मणा |

भगवान् भक्तभावज्ञो भक्त्या तुष्यति केवलम् ||

सन्त्यज्य संशयं सर्वं भक्तिमान् दृढनिक्ष्चयः |

कृष्णसङ्कीर्तनं कुर्यात्किं वृथा शास्त्रचर्चया ||

आलोड्य सर्वशात्राणि विचार्य च पुनः पुनः |

इदमेकं सुनिष्पन्नं ध्येयो नारायणः सदा ||

भक्तिरेव परा नृणां हरिसान्निध्यदायिनी |

तस्मात्समाचरेद्भक्तिं किमन्यैः क्षुद्रसाधनैः ||

अर्जुनोद्धवयोरग्रे भगवानिदमब्रवीत् |

अहं भक्त्यैव सुलभो मां भक्त्यैव वर्षाकुरु ||

नैव योगेन तपसा ज्ञानेन न च कर्मणा |

भक्त्यैव लभ्यते कृष्णः परमात्मा सनातनः ||

Shri Sadguru said

You, all sadhus, listen to the essence of all the Shastras. Everywhere and at all times sing the Name and praise of Shri Krishna. There is no God superior to Shri Krishna according to the Shastras. I have learnt this truth after analyzing all the Shastras. Shri Bhagavan who knows the mind of all bhaktas gets pleased only with deep Bhakti. He never gets pleased with the practice of yoga, sankhya or vaidika rituals. A true devotee should cast off all doubts and sing the praise of Shri Krishna alone. What is the use of all unnecessary discussions of Shastras? The firm conclusion I have arrived at after a thorough study of all Shastras is that always one should meditate upon Lord Narayana alone. Only unshakeable devotion is capable of bestowing one with the darshan of Lord Hari. Hence one should cultivate devotion to God. What is the use of meaningless rituals? The Lord Himself has said to Arjuna and Uddhava as follows: "I am easily won over the Bhakti. So come closer to Me and control Me with Bhakti". He is not attained with the help of yoga, tapas, nana or Karma. The eternal Lord Shri Krishna, the Supreme Soul is attainable only by Bhakti.
