Lord Krishna said Raja Yoga is the practice of self realization by direct intuitional knowledge. Raja Yoga is the supreme purifier and very easy to perform.
All this world is pervaded by Me in My unmanifested form (aspect); all beings exist in Me, but I do not dwell in them . I am the father of this world, the mother, the dispenser of fruits of action, and grandfather; the one thing to be known, the Purifier, the syllable
To those men who worship Me alone, thinking of no other, to
those ever united, I secure what is not already possessed (Yoga) and preserve what they
already possess (Kshema). Whoever offers Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a
fruit, water, that I accept, offered with devotion by the pure-minded. Whatever
you do, whatever you eatest, whatever you offerest in sacrifice, whatsoever you
give, whatsoever you practise as austerity, O Kaunteya, do it as an offering
unto Me.
Even if the most sinful worship Me, with devotion to none
else, he too should indeed be
regarded as righteous, for he has rightly resolved. Soon he
becomes righteous and attains eternal peace, O Kaunteya; you need to know for
certain that My devotee is never destroyed.

pavitram idam uttamam
pratyaksavagamam dharmyam
su-sukham kartum avyayam
This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of
all secrets. It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct perception
of the self by realization, it is the perfection of religion. It is
everlasting, and it is joyfully performed. This chapter of Bhagavad-gita is called the king
of education because it is the essence of all doctrines and philosophies explained such as Vedas, Upanishads, etc

By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is
pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them.

As the mighty wind, blowing everywhere, always rests in
ethereal space, know that in the same manner all beings rest in Me.
CHAPTER 9, VERSE 7

visrjami punah punah
bhuta-gramam imam krtsnam
avasam prakrter vasat
The whole cosmic order is under Me. By My will it is
manifested again and again, and by My will it is annihilated at the end.

satatam kirtayanto mam

determination, bowing down before Me, these great souls perpetually worship Me

pitaham asya jagato
mata dhata pitamahah
vedyam pavitram omkara
rk sama yajur eva ca
I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support,
and the grandsire. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable
om. I am also the Rig, the Sama, and the Yajur [Vedas].
CHAPTER 9, VERSE 18
gatir bharta prabhuh saksi
nivasah saranam suhrt
prabhavah pralayah sthanam
nidhanam bijam avyayam
I am the goal, the sustainer, the master, the witness, the
abode, the refuge and the most dear friend. I am the creation and the
annihilation, the basis of everything, the resting place and the eternal seed.

ananyas cintayanto mam
ye janah paryupasate
tesam nityabhiyuktanam
yoga-ksemam vahamy aham
But those who worship Me with devotion, meditating on My
transcendental form--to them I carry what they lack and preserve what they
have.
CHAPTER 9, VERSE 26
patram puspam phalam toyam
yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam
asnami prayatatmanah
If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower,
fruit or water, I will accept it.
What do these signify? Your body and the bodily senses is
the leaf; your heart is the flower/buds; your mind is the fruit and the tears
of transcendental bliss is the water offering to Lord Krishna. By offering
yourself to Lord Krishna, the body/mind and soul is purified.
CHAPTER 9, VERSE 27
yat karosi yad asnasi
yaj juhosi dadasi yat
yat tapasyasi kaunteya
tat kurusva mad-arpanam
O son of Kunti, all that you do, all that you eat, all that
you offer and give away, as well as all austerities that you may perform,
should be done as an offering unto Me.
Thus, it is the duty of everyone to mold his life in such a
way that he will not forget Krishna in any
circumstance. Everyone has to work for maintenance of his body and soul
together, and Krishna recommends herein that
one should work for Him.
CHAPTER 9, VERSE 28
subhasubha-phalair evam
moksyase karma-bandhanaih

evil deeds, and by this principle of renunciation you will be liberated and
come to Me.

and worship Me. Being completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me.

yada samharate cayam
kurmo 'nganiva sarvasah
indriyanindriyarthebhyas
tasya prajna pratisthita
When one can completely withdraw the senses from sense
objects, as a tortoise withdraws its limbs into the shell for protection, then
the intellect of such a person is considered steady.
