Important: From Shlok 1 to 3, there is description of those pious souls, who have been doing scripture-based worship i.e. worship according to the Vedas since their previous human births, who do their worship only by ‘Om’ mantra of Brahm and do not worship other gods. Even then, because of absence of the Tatvdarshi Saint (who has been mentioned in Gita Adhyay 4 Shlok 34), this is also futile.

विशेष: - श्लोक 1 से 3 तक में उन पुण्यात्माओं का विवरण है जो पिछले मानव जन्मों में वेदों अनुसार अर्थात् शास्त्रा अनुकूल साधना करते हुए आ रहे हैं, जो अपनी साधना ब्रह्म के ओ3म् मंत्रा से ही करते थे, आन उपासना नहीं करते थे। फिर भी तत्वदर्शी संत (जो गीता अध्याय 4 श्लोक 34 में कहा है) के अभाव से यह भी व्यर्थ है।
