Verse 19

¹⁹The yoga of devotion was told you before, faultless one, since you were taking pleasure in it. I shall tell it again: the highest ground of devotion to me. ²⁰Trust in the deathless telling of me; the praising of me aloud without ceasing; standing fast in my worship; the singing of me with hymns; ²¹care in serving me; bowing to me with every limb; honouring those devoted to me above oneself; the thought of me held in all beings; ²²and work at things done for my sake, dear one; the sounding of my qualities with the voice; the handing over of the mind to me; the letting go of every desire; ²³the giving up of wealth for my sake, and of enjoyment and of pleasure; and whatever is sacrificed, given, poured in the fire, muttered, whatever vow, whatever austerity, done for my sake.

²⁴By such forms of dharma, Uddhava, in men who make themselves over to me, devotion to me comes to birth. What other end is left over for such a man?
