Bhagavad Gita Adhyay(Chapter) : 15

The Yoga of the Supreme Spirit ; Purushottama Yoga The Supreme Personality of Godhead   said: There is a banyan tree which has its roots upward and its branches down and whose leaves are the Vedic hymns. One who knows this tree is the knower of the Vedas. The branches of this tree extend downward and upward, nourished by the three modes of material nature. The twigs( slender woody shoot growing from a branch or stem of a tree or shrub ) are the objects of the senses.

Bhagavad Gita Adhyay(Chapter) : 12

Yoga of Devotion ; Bhakti Yoga Arjuna inquired: Which is considered to be more perfect: those who are properly engaged in Your devotional service, or those who worship the impersonal Brahman, the unmanifested? The Supreme personality of Godhead said: He whose mind is fixed on My personal form, always engaged in worshiping Me with great and transcendental( relating to a spiritual realm ) faith, is considered by Me to be most perfect. Those who fully worship the unmanifested, that which lies beyond the perception of the senses, the all-pervading, inconceivable( unbelievable ), fixed, and immovable-the impersonal conception of the Absolute Truth-by controlling the various senses and being equally disposed to everyone, such persons, engaged in the welfare of all, at last achieve Me. For those whose minds are attached to the unmanifested, impersonal feature of the Supreme, advancement is very troublesome. To make progrese in that discipline is always difficult fo...
