"Devotion is a means as well as its true end when it grows into a full treasure. When devotion becomes a treasure, you will need nothing more for inner fullness or affluence. As devotion grows, it will begin to free you of all desire, hatred and fear. It will relieve poverty, either by making you amply resourceful or by taking away from you the very feeling of poverty. Devotion also will remove your weakness, generating untold strength and confidence."

<< Chapter 17 Verse 12 >>
<   >

अभिसन्धाय तु फलं दम्भार्थमपि चैव यत् ।
इज्यते भरतश्रेष्ठ तं यज्ञं विद्धि राजसम् ॥ १७.१२ ॥

abhisandhāya tu phalaṁ dambhārtham-api caiva yat |
ijyate bharata-śreṣṭha taṁ yajñaṁ viddhi rājasam || 17.12 ||
   

Whenever the mind of the performer is linked to the result of any yajña, it becomes rājasika. Also, ostentation while performing any rituals makes the whole performance rājasika and inferior (17.12).
