From the Bhagavad Gita, the five most important verses have been selected – verses that are powerful, clear, and full of tremendous insight and beauty – on each of the Gita's main topics: 1) Self-knowledge, 2) bhakti, 3) karma yoga, 4) meditation, 5) enlightenment, and 6) Who is Lord Krishna? Videos on all 6 topics available here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeP4eulMEXiPe6sa-3Xx5kqPVwcOE8fZx
The topic here is bhakti, devotion. For Sri Krishna, the practice of bhakti is not limited to sitting in front of an altar or going to a sacred temple. Bhakti should be practiced throughout the day, while engaged in ordinary activities. How? By consistently acting in accordance with Ishvara's will, Ishvara's intelligent order that governs the universe, by following the path of dharma. According to Sri Krishna, following dharma is itself a great act of devotion.
Sri Krishna also says that we should worship Him, not just as an avatara of Lord Vishnu, but as Ishvara, as the divinity within every being and as Ishvara's manifestation in every form, including the earth with its creatures, plants, trees, mountains and rivers.
