...9.21

If a person meditates on me and me alone, I will look after their prosperity and welfare.

[22]

Even those who are devotees of other gods, and worship them with faith, worship me alone, albeit in an incorrect manner.

[23]

For I am the only enjoyer, the Lord of all sacrifices. They do not recognize me, so they turn away.

[24]

Those who worship the gods, go to the gods. Those who worship the ancestors, go to the ancestors. But only those who worship me shall come to me.

[25]

Whatever one may offer, be it a leaf, flower, fruit, or water, I accept it, for it is offered with devotion and a pure mind.

[26]

Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever charity you perform, whatever austerity you practice - do all these as an offering to me.

[27]

You shall be free from bondage to the fruit of your actions, thus liberating yourself from bondage to action, and freeing yourself to come to me.
