the meaning of Krṣṇa consciousness. We are therefore presenting  Bhagavad-gītā  as it is and kicking out all kinds of mental concoction. Fools and rascals interpret  Bhagavad-gītā  in their own way. When Krṣṇa says,  man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru —“Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me”—they comment that it is not Krṣṇa to whom we must surrender. Thus they derive imaginary meanings from  Bhagavad-gītā . The Krṣṇa consciousness movement, however, strictly follows  bhāgavata-dharma , the instructions of  Bhagavad-gītā  and  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  for the complete welfare of human society. One who misinterprets  Bhagavad-gītā , twisting out some meaning for his sense gratification, is a non-Āryan. Therefore commentaries on  Bhagavad-gītā  by such persons should be immediately rejected. One should try to follow  Bhagavad-gītā  as it is. In  Bhagavad-gītā  (12.6-7) Lord Śrī Krṣṇa says:
ye tu sarvāṇi karmāṇi mayi sannyasya mat-parāḥ ananyenaiva yogena māṁ dhyāyanta upāsate
teṣām ahaṁ samuddhartā mṛtyu-saṁsāra-sāgarāt bhavāmi na cirāt pārtha mayy āveśita-cetasām
“For one who worships Me, giving up all his activities unto Me and being devoted to Me without deviation, engaged in devotional service and always meditating upon Me, who has fixed his mind upon Me, O son of Pṛthā, for him I am the swift deliverer from the ocean of birth and death.”
