Ch 12Verse 10
Adhyāya 12 Shloka 10

अभ्यासेऽप्यसमर्थोऽसि मत्कर्मपरमो भव | मदर्थमपि कर्माणि कुर्वन्सिद्धिमवाप्स्यसि || १० ||

abhyāse 'py asamartho 'si mat-karma-paramo bhava | mad-artham api karmāṇi kurvan siddhim avāpsyasi || 10 ||

"If you cannot practice the regulations of bhakti-yoga, then just try to work for Me, because by working for Me you will come to the perfect stage."

Historical Context

The Direct Meaning

Krishna continues to lower the ladder of grace for the struggling soul. He says: And if you are entirely unable or incapable even of executing this systematic practice of regulative principles (abhyāse 'py asamartho 'si), then simply become dedicated to performing your daily work and actions entirely for My sake (mat-karma-paramo bhava). Because simply by performing your work and duties on My behalf (mad-artham api karmāṇi kurvan), you will undoubtedly attain the supreme perfection (siddhim avāpsyasi).
