Synopsis Arjuna asks, ‘Who is an excellent devotee? The one devoted to the formless one or the one dedicated to the physical form of god?’ To answer this, Krishna explains different types of devotions in this chapter.

Relevance: It is not essential how and to whom we pray. However, it is necessary to have clarity in our mind and heart about the intention of our devotion. The devotional path should ultimately lead to being kind, compassionate, loving, fearless, lacking anger, and being steadfast in any situation. Every god that you choose loves the one who is compassionate to other fellow beings.
