Faith

Ananya-chintayanto mam ye janah paryupasate, tesham nityabhiyuktanam yoga-kshemam vahamy aham

To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.

Shraddhaval labhate jnanam tat-parah samyatendriyah, jnanam labdhva param shantim acirenadhigacchati

Those who have faith, are devoted, and have mastered their senses quickly attain divine knowledge. Upon attaining such knowledge, they soon achieve supreme peace.

Yoginam api sarvesham mad-gatenantar-atmana, shraddhavan bhajate yo mam sa me yuktatamo matah

Of all yogis, those who with great faith always abide in Me, think of Me within themselves, and render devotional service to Me—they are the most intimately united with Me and are the highest of all.

Yo yo yam yam tanum bhaktah shraddhayarchitum icchati, tasya tasyacalam shraddham tam eva vidadhamy aham

Whatever celestial form a devotee seeks to worship with faith, I steady the faith of such a devotee in that very form.

Ye tu dharmyāmṛitam idaṁ yathoktaṁ paryupāsate, śhraddadhānā mat-paramā bhaktās te 'tīva me priyāḥ

Those who follow this immortal dharma as I have declared, endowed with faith and considering Me as their supreme goal—such devotees are most dear to Me.

Sattvanuरूpa sarvasya shraddha bhavati bharata, shraddha-mayo 'yam purusho yo yach-chhraddha sa eva sah

O Arjuna, the faith of each person conforms to their nature. Human beings are made of faith; what their faith is, that verily they are.
