There will be an analysis of the teachings on the theme "God is Love"
compilation of Bhagavad Gita
Description of the Atman and How to Cognize It
............................
6:32. The one who sees manifestations of the Atman in everything and who has cognized through this the sameness of everything — both the pleasant and the unpleasant — such one is regarded as a perfect Yogi…
9:34. Fix your mind on Me,
love Me, sacrifice to Me, revere Me! To Me will you finally come, being consumed by the Atman, if you have Me as your Highest Goal!
In relation to this subject, it is important to stress the importance of the work on the development of the spiritual heart, because higher spiritual achievements are not possible without this. It is inside the developed spiritual heart that the spiritual seeker can find the Atman and then cognize Paramatman — cognize Ishvara (the Creator).
Krishna said the following about this:
10:20. I am the Atman that resides in the
hearts of all beings…
15:15. I reside in the
hearts of all!…
18:61. Ishvara resides in the
hearts of all beings…
How one can open and then develop the spiritual heart is described in our books and films listed at the end of this book.

Description of Ishvara
10:8. I am the Source of everything, everything originates from Me! Having understood this, the wise worship Me with great delight!
10:9. Directing their thoughts at Me, devoting their lives to Me, enlightening each other, always conversing about Me, they are happy and content!
10:10. To them — always full of love — I gift Buddhi Yoga, by means of which they attain Me.
........................................
11:47. … My supreme and eternal Form… is revealed only in Yoga, in Mergence with the Atman…
.........................................
8:14. … who think of Me constantly, having no thoughts about anything else — such steady Yogis… easily attain Me.
11:54. …
Only love can contemplate Me in My innermost Essence and merge with Me!
11:55. The one who does everything (only) for Me, for whom I am the Supreme Goal, who loves Me, who is detached, devoid of enmity — such one comes to Me…
12:8. Fix your thoughts on Me, submerge yourself as a consciousness into Me — verily, then you will live in Me!
.........................................
18:55. By
love one cognizes Me in My Essence: who I am and what I am in reality. Having cognized Me thus in My innermost Essence, one submerges into My Beingness!
18:65. Think always about Me, love Me, sacrifice yourself for My sake, seek refuge only in Me — and you will come to Me!…
6:15. The Yogi who has merged with the Atman and controls the mind enters the Highest Nirvana and abides there in Me.
