51 This alone is the yoga of devotion. Those who know its essence and those who have experienced it declare it to be the highest goal of life, beyond which there is nothing greater, and so do scriptural passages such as the following: Therefore, for the practitioner of yoga endowed with devotion to Me, who has become one with Me, neither knowledge nor detachment are, in this world, the means to the highest good. That which one attains by sacrifices, austerity, knowledge, detachment, discipline, the virtue of charity, observance of duty, or other means to the highest good, All that comes to my devotee most quickly through the practice of devotion to Me--heaven, liberation, even [entry into] My celestial abode--if in any way he desires these things. My pure, wise, single-minded devotees do not desire even slightly absolute liberation and freedom from rebirth, even if this is offered by Me. 52 Complete indifference to worldly things, they say, is the sure means to the highest goal. Hence, one who is free from desire and expectation [easily] attains devotion to Me. The consequences arising from virtue and vice do not affect My one-pointed devotees, for they are pure, evenminded, and have approached that which is beyond the intellect. 11.20.31-36
