Bhagavad Gita 12.6

ये तु सर्वाणि कर्माणि मयि संन्यस्य मत्पराः।अनन्येनैव योगेन मां ध्यायन्त उपासते॥

ye tu sarvāṇi karmāṇi mayi saṃnyasya matparāḥ |ananyenaiva yogena māṃ dhyāyanta upāsate ||

But to those who worship Me, renouncing all actions in Me, regarding Me as the supreme goal, meditating on Me with single-minded yoga.

Translation by Swami Sivananda · Public domain in India (translator d. 1963)

Verily, those who surrender their actions to Me, who contemplate Me, worship Me, and meditate on Me alone, with no thought other than Me.

Translation by Shri Purohit Swami · Public domain in India (translator d. 1941)
