Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya
B.G 15.03 and 04
na rūpamasyeha tathopalabhyate nānto na cādirna ca sampratiṣṭhā। aśvatthamenaṃ suvirūḍhamūlaṃ asaṅgaśasreṇa druḍena chittvā ॥3॥
The form of this tree cannot be perceived here, neither its end nor its beginning, nor the way it is established. One must cut down this well-rooted banyan tree with the strong weapon of detachment.
tataḥ paraṃ tat parimārgitavyaṃ yasmin gatā na nivartanti bhūyaḥ। tameva cādyaṃ puruṣaṃ prapadye yataḥ pravṛttiḥ prasṛtā purāṇī ॥4॥
Then, one should seek that ultimate goal, reaching which, one does not return again by calling - "I surrender to that primeval person from whom the ancient creation has emanated".
Gīta Tātparya 15.03 and 04
Testimonial is provided elaborating on the Peepul tree analogy, emphasizing - "By knowledge alone, one should discern and seek Lord Viṣṇu. Surrender to him, the original source, as this world is a manifestation of his divine part."
"jagadvṛkṣoyamaśvattho hyaśvat cañcalātmakaḥ। avyayo'yaṃ pravāheṇa svasaktijñānahetinā॥
"The world is like the Peepul tree, changing and fickle by nature. It is eternal, driven by the flow of its own power and knowledge.
viṣṇoḥ samyak pṛthak druṣṭināmacchedanabhāk sadā। avyaktādisamastaṃ tu neti netyādi vākyataḥ॥
Lord Vishnu, the eternal destroyer of all views, is properly and distinctly understood through the statement 'not this, not this', beginning from the unmanifest.
bodhenaiva pṛthag viṣṇoḥ kṛtvā mṛgyaḥ sa keśavaḥ। tamevādyam prapadyeta yadaṃśābhāsako hyayam॥
By knowledge alone, one should discern and seek Lord Keśava, who is none other than Lord Viṣṇu. Surrender to him, the original source, as this world is a manifestation of his divine part.
jīvarāśiḥ samasto'pi brahmarudrendrapūrvakaḥ॥"
Indeed, the entire collection of living beings is headed by Brahma, Rudra, and Indra."

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
