CHAPTER - 12
TWELVE -BHAKTI YOGA.
After revealing His Cosmic form, the Lord told Arjuna that this form was available only to one who had single-minded devotion and was free from all worldly attachments. Arjuna had also heard of formless and nameless Absolute, which is beyond sense perceptions and presently he had seen embodied “Cosmic Man”, Therefore naturally a question arose in his mind as to which of the two, namely, one who meditates on impersonal and unmanifested authority and another who meditates and worships a personal “God”.In other words whether “Saguna” meditationis preferable or “Nirguna” meditation? This question is just similar to what was asked in chapter 5 when Arjuna sought to know the preference between Karma Yoga and Jnana Yoga. The Lord's reply was similar to the one, which He gave previously.
