Performing all actions and taking refuge in Him mean rendering selfless service in society which should be without the sense of agency and with a sense of dedication to Him. In an individual to the extent his mind and intellect are available for the spiritual truth, he is under the grace or blessings of The Lord. An individual thus working in the field of activity reaches the Immortal State, the state of Perfection.
The above three verses indicate that the ultimate goal of the paths of knowledge, devotion and action is the realization of the seeker’s oneness with the Supreme. This is the Integral Sadhana synthesizing the methods of Devotion, Work and Knowledge through disciplining body, mind and intellect.
All disciplines pursued from the body level to control the mind and make it turn towards the Ideal are called KARMA YOGA.
All methods to canalize the emotions for controlling the mind and make it contemplate on the Higher are called BHAKTI YOGA.
All the study and reflection, detachment and meditation practiced at the intellectual level whereby the mind is enabled to experience the Infinitude is called JNANA YOGA.
Practicing all these three Yogas is disciplining the human personality in all its three layers of body, mind and intellect which transforms the perceiver, feeler and thinker in the man. This is the outstanding contribution of Gita to the Hindu culture.
