B.G 9.34

मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु। मामेवैष्यसि युक्त्वैवमात्मानं मत्परायणः ॥३४॥

Fix your mind on Me; become My devotee; sacrifice to Me and bow to Me. Thus, uniting yourself with Me, wholly devoted, you shall surely come to Me.

Gīta Bhāshya 9.34

Conduct to be practiced by true devotee is highlighted. Conduct is stated to be a means for knowledge, and in the absence of knowledge, there is no proper devotion. Devotion to the Supreme, direct experience of one's own essence, and dispassion toward all else - this triad arises simultaneously.

"सा श्रद्दधानस्य विवर्धमाना विरक्तिमन्यत्र करोति पुंसः।"

"That (devotion), increasing in one who has faith, produces dispassion in a person towards all else."

इति च।

- stated thus as well.

"वेदास्त्वधीता मम लोकनाथ तप्तं तपो नानृतमुक्तपूर्वम्। पूजां गुरूणां सततं करोमि परस्य गुह्यं न च भिन्नपूर्वम्॥
गुप्तानि चत्वारि यथागमं मे शत्रौ च मित्रे च समोऽस्मि नित्यम्। तं चापि देवं शरणं प्रपन्नः एकान्तभावेन भजाम्यजस्रम्॥
एतैरुपायैः परिशुद्धसत्त्वः कस्मान्न पश्येयमनन्तमेनम्॥"

"I have studied the Vedas, O Lord of the worlds; I have practiced austerity; never have I uttered a falsehood. I always worship my teachers and have never revealed the secrets of the Supreme. I possess the four hidden truths according to scripture, and I always remain equal towards friend and foe. I have surrendered to that Divine One and worship Him ceaselessly with undivided devotion. With such means and a purified heart, why should I not behold this Infinite One?"

इति मोक्षधर्मे।

-stated thus in the Moksha Dharma (section of the Mahabharata).

आचारस्य ज्नानसाधनत्वोक्तेश्च। ज्ञानाभावे च सम्यक् भक्त्यभावात्। तथाहि गौतमखिलेषु -

Since conduct is stated to be a means for knowledge, and in the absence of knowledge, there is no proper devotion. Thus, indeed, it is shown in the works of Gautama:

"विना ज्ञानं कुतो भक्तिः कुतो भक्तिं विना च तत्।"

"Without knowledge, from where comes devotion? And without devotion, from where that (knowledge)?"

इति।

- stated thus.

"भक्तिः परे स्वेऽनुभवो विरक्तिरन्यत्र चैतत् त्रिकमैककालम्।"

"Devotion to the Supreme, direct experience of one's own essence, and dispassion toward all else - this triad arises simultaneously."

इति च भागवते ॥३१-३४॥

-stated thus in the Bhagavata.

॥ इति श्रीमदानन्दतीर्थभगवत्पादाचार्यविरचिते श्रीभगवद्गीताभाष्ये नवमोध्यायः ॥

Thus concludes the night chapter in the commentary on the Bhagavad Gītā, composed by the glorious revered Ānanda Tīrtha Bhagavatpāda Ācārya

॥ ओं तत्सदिति श्रीमद्भगवद्गीतासु उपनिषत्सु ब्रह्मविद्यायां योगशास्त्रे श्रीकृष्णार्जुनसंवादे राजविद्याराज्यगुह्ययोगो नाम नवमोध्यायः ॥

Om, thus ends the ninth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, which is part of the Upanishads and the Yoga Shastra, in the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna, known as the 'Rājavidyā-Rājyaguhya Yogo', in the study of Brahma Vidya (knowledge of the Absolute).
