Guru tirelessly emphasizes the importance of self-improvement to his disciples, reminding them not to lose sight of this amid the overwhelming power of habits and tendencies.
Lord Krishna also reiterates his guidance to Arjuna, saying: "You will come to Me if you fix your mind on Me, remain My devotee, make sacrifices to Me, and pay homage to Me. Since you are very dear to Me, I promise you this."
The most frequently quoted verse from the Bhagavad Gita states: "Renouncing all forms of rites and duties, take refuge in Me alone. Do not grieve. I will free you from all sins."
The question arises: Should one surrender to God first and then renounce the duties, or should one renounce first and then surrender? The act of renunciation cannot occur without first surrendering to God. No one will give up anything unless there is a greater gain to be found. The greatest gain is God's love. It is only upon realizing this that one will surrender, which will naturally lead to renunciation.
