Bhagavan Shri Krishna said: Dear Uddhav, now I shall describe you auspicious Bhagavat-dharma. By following this dharma with faith, the human beings can easily conquer unconquerable death in form of this world. Uddhavji! My bhakta should do all his actions (karma) for Me and gradually practice to increase my remembrance or thoughts (स्मरण) about Me while doing those actions. Quickly his mind and citta ( चित्त reservoir of thoughts) will be offered to Me. The mind and self will become focussed on My dharma. He can live in the holy places where saintly people reside and follow the actions of those people who are my ananya bhakta. Ananya bhakta has truly realized this bhagavat dharma.
The sky has no limit and everything is contained within the sky. Similarly, sadhak with pure heart should see Me (Paramatma) residing in one's own and everyone's heart. Oh pure hearted Uddhava! That sadhak is considered true knower of this dharma who takes shelter of this above vision of knowledge, sees Me in every living entity and objects, loves and respects everyone seeing them as My form and sees equally the compassionate and cruel, the wise and the fool, the one who serves the wise and the thief. In this way, when one continuously tries to see everyone as form of Bhagavan, then soon competition, enviousness, contempt, abusiveness, ego and other faults go away from his heart. Don't care for other's disregard and ridicule. "I am good and other's are bad" - give up this fault finding tendency. Offer pranams to dogs, fool, cow and donkey falling flat on the ground. (At least do it mentally in your mind). Until this consciousness of truly seeing Me in everyone is developed, worship Me by serving living entities by mind, speech and bodily actions. Uddhavaji! In his way when seeing Paramatma everywhere is practiced, then soon one is able to truly see everything as Brahman (Paramatma or Me). When such vision is established, the doubts and confusions go away automatically and due to seeing Me everywhere, one give up vision of this world i.e. identification of self with this world. Of all the possible ways to attain Me, I consider this to be the best way of attaining Me - see all living entities and objects as Me with mind, speech and bodily activities. Uddhavji! This is my Bhagavat dharma. When sadhak starts practicing this dharma, then no obstacle can affect the sadhak because this dharma is niskama (free from material motivation) and this is considered best by Me due to being nirguna (beyond external inert matter). While practicing this dharma, offer the obstacles and mistakes to Me. If fear and lamentation is experienced, then offer that feeling to Me. Offer crying, running and other seemingly useless activities to Me without any judgement. Due to them being offered to Me, they become Bhagavat dharma. The culmination of discrimination of those who discriminate between self and inert matter, cleverness of those who are clever is to attain Me, the imperishable and eternal tattva (substance or truth), using perishable body. This dharma is even difficult to realize even for devatas (heavenly beings). What to say of human beings! One who understands this dharma attains eternal moksha and attains Me.
