I shall always be with you, wherever you are! You do not even need to come to me.

śrībhagavānuvāca sudurdarśamidaṁ rūpaṁ dṛṣṭavānasi yanmama | devā apyasya rūpasya nityaṁ darśanakāṅkṣiṇaḥ

Bhagavān says: The four-armed form that you have seen is rare to behold. Even the celestials are forever aspiring to see this form

Surrender to Me as the supreme with no reservations.

nāhaṁ vedairna tapasā na dānena na cejyayā | śakya evaṁvidho draṣṭuṁ dṛṣṭavānasi māṁ yathā

The four armed form which you have seen with your transcendental eyes cannot be understood simply by study of the Vedas, nor by undergoing penances or charity or worship; one cannot see Me as I am by these means

Arjuna salutes Krsna as the source of all beings, the creator of Brahma, who in turn created Prajapati, from whom all beings originated

bhaktyā tvananyayā śakya aham evaṁ vidho'rjuna | jñātuṁ draṣṭuṁ ca tattvena praveṣṭuṁ ca parantapa

My dear Arjuna, only by undivided devotional service can you understand Me as I am, standing before you, be seen directly. Only in this way can you reach Me, O Parantapa

Look upon everyone as your own Self, without dislike and hatred.'

mat-karma-kṛn mat-paramo mad bhaktaḥ saṅgavarjitaḥ nirvairaḥ sarvabhūteṣu yaḥ sa māmeti pāṇḍava

My dear Arjuna, one who is engaged entirely in My devotional service, who surrenders to Me as the Supreme, free from attachment, full of love for every entity, surely comes to Me

Have no attachment to whatever you do, leave the results to Me, surrender the fruits of your action to Me.
