26. Whoever with devotion offers Me a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, that I accept—the devout gift of the pure-minded.
27. Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever you give away, whatever austerity you practice, O son of Kunti, do that as an offering unto Me.
28. Thus shall you be freed from the bondages of actions, bearing good and evil results: with the heart steadfast in the Yoga of renunciation, and liberated, you shall come unto Me.
29. I am the same to all beings: to Me there is none hateful or dear. But those who worship Me with devotion, are in Me, and I too am in them.
30. If even a very wicked person worships Me, with devotion to none else, he should be regarded as good, for he has rightly resolved.
31. Soon does he become righteous, and attain eternal Peace, O son of Kunti, boldly can you proclaim, that My devotee is never destroyed.
32. For, taking refuge in Me, they also, O son of Prithâ, who might be of inferior birth—women, Vaishyas, as well as Sudras—even they attain to the Supreme Goal.
33. What need to mention holy Brâhmanas, and devoted Râjarshis! Having obtained this transient, joyless world, worship you Me.
34. Fill your mind with Me, be My devotee, sacrifice unto Me, bow down to Me; thus having made your heart steadfast in Me, taking Me as the Supreme Goal, you shall come to Me.
—Bhagavad Gita, 9:26-34
