Gita 4.24: Even the dedication of such a devotee who is in accord with the scriptures is towards Brahm i.e. God and the sacrificial substances are also God only and in Brahm-like fire dedicated to the Supreme God i.e. by praying to God, sins are sacrificed i.e. sins are destroyed. In reality, even while doing worldly tasks, one whose mind is engrossed in God only and who performs actions which are easily done by the body i.e. who does sadhna by being in Sahaj Samadhi, for him, God is worthy of being attained i.e. he only can attain God who remains in Sahaj Samadhi.

Respected Garibdas Ji Maharaj says: -

Jaise haali beej dhun, panthi se batlaavae |
Va mein khand pade nahin, aise dhyaan (samaadhi) lagaavae ||

Meaning: For instance, a farmer is sowing seeds of wheat or other crop in the field and a traveller arrives. Then on being asked the path, that farmer while sowing seeds along with ploughing, explains the path to the traveller; but his Samadhi (concentration) remains in his basic task only. This is known as Sahaj Samadhi (karmsamadhi). Holy Gita Ji is also giving its evidence that, that karmyagi who even while doing his work keeps his mind engrossed in God, that bhakt only is worthy of attaining God.

Garib, naam uthat naam baithat naam sovat jaag ve |
Naam khaate naam peete naam seti laag ve ||
