He who does all actions for Me, who looks upon Me as the Supreme, who is devoted to Me, who is free from attachment, who bears enmity towards no creature, he comes to Me, O Arjuna.

Whoever does my work, holds me as the highest, is devoted to me, free of attachment and without hatred toward any being, comes to me, son of Pandu.

The chapter closes with a portrait of the one who reaches Krishna. Such a person acts for him, holds him as the supreme goal, is devoted to him, is free of attachment, and bears no enmity toward any being. Many readers consider this verse a summary of the Gita's teaching, joining action, devotion and detachment in a single life. The last quality is especially striking after a chapter filled with images of war: Arjuna must fight, yet without hatred. The vision of time devouring the warriors ends in a call to act without enmity, as an offering.
