Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 12, Verse 4

Bhakti Yoga

सन्नियम्येन्द्रियग्रामं सर्वत्र समबुद्धयः । ते प्राप्नुवन्ति मामेव सर्वभूतहिते रताः ॥ ४ ॥

sanniyamyendriya-grāmaṁ sarvatra sama-buddhayaḥ te prāpnuvanti mām eva sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ

Translation

restraining all their senses, even-minded everywhere, and delighting in the welfare of all beings: they too reach Me.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

और इंद्रियों के समूह को भली प्रकार वश में करके, सर्वत्र समबुद्धि रखते हुए, सब प्राणियों के हित में लगे रहते हैं, वे भी मुझे ही प्राप्त होते हैं।

Commentary

"They too reach Me" (mam eva) is an important admission: the path of the formless is valid and leads to the same goal. Notice the ethical side: such seekers are sarva-bhuta-hite ratah, "delighting in the good of all beings." The same phrase appears in 5.25. Contemplation of the Absolute is not meant to be cold or withdrawn.
