Namaste,

 

Gita : 12:3,4 -

 

ye tu aksharam anirdeshyam avyaktaM paryupaasate .

sarvatragam achintya.n cha kuuTastham achala.n dhruvam.h ..

 

sa.nniyamya indriya-graama.n sarvatra sama-buddhayaH .

te praapnuvanti maam eva sarva-bhuuta-hite rataaH ..

 

"Those who contemplate the Imperishable, the Indefinable, the

Unmanifest, the Omnipresent, and Unthinkable, the Unchanging, the

Immovable, the Constant;

restraining all the senses, even-minded in all conditions, rejoicing

in the welfare of all creatures, they come to Me indeed."

 

[Comment: (from Shankara Bhashya -

 

"upaasanaa: consists in approaching the object of worship by way of

meditating it according to the Teaching (shaastra) and dwelling for a

long time steadily in the current of the same thought like a thread

of descending oil."

"upaasana.n naama yathaa shaastram upaasyasya arthasya

vishhayiikaraNena saamiipya upagamya taila-dhaara-vat samaana-

pratyaya-pravaahena diirghakaala.n yad aasana.n tad upaasanam

aachakshate ."]
