Why does Krishna reject spritual practices and methods? || Acharya Prashant, on Bhagavad Gita (2020)

नाहं वेदैर्न तपसा न दानेन न चेज्यया ।

शक्य एवंविधो द्रष्टुं दृष्टवानसि मां यथा ।। 53 ।।

nāhaṁ vedair na tapasā na dānena na chejyayā

śhakya evaṁ-vidho draṣhṭuṁ dṛiṣhṭavān asi māṁ yathā

Neither by the Vedas, nor by austerity, nor by gifts, nor by sacrifice, can I be seen as thou have seen Me.

~ Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 11, Verse 53

✥ ✥ ✥

भक्त्या त्वनन्यया शक्य अहमेवंविधोऽर्जुन ।

ज्ञातुं द्रष्टुं च तत्त्वेन प्रवेष्टुं च परन्तप ।। 54 ।।

bhaktyā tv ananyayā śhakya aham evaṁ-vidho ’rjuna

jñātuṁ draṣhṭuṁ cha tattvena praveṣhṭuṁ cha parantapa

But by single-minded devotion, I may be in this form, be known, O Arjuna, and seen in reality, and also entered into O scorcher of foes.

~ Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 11, Verse 54

मत्कर्मकृन्मत्परमो मद्भक्त: सङ्गवर्जित: ।

निर्वैर: सर्वभूतेषु य: स मामेति पाण्डव ।। 55 ।।
