Explanation
One who does all work for me, who holds me as the supreme goal, who is devoted to me, free from attachment and without enmity towards any being — that one comes to me, O son of Pandu.
Many teachers call this the essence of the Gita in one verse: work, goal, love, detachment — and "nirvaira", no enmity towards any being. The cosmic vision of Chapter 11 ends in a simple ethic of love.
भावार्थ
