Bhagavan Krishna

"O Dhananjaya (Arjuna), if thou art not able to keep thy mind wholly on Me, then seek to attain Me by repeated yoga practice."
 
"If, again, thou art not able to practice continuous yoga, be thou diligent in performing actions in the thought of Me. Even by engaging in activities on My behalf thou shalt attain supreme divine success."

 Chapter 12, Verse 9-10 of the Bhagavad Gita
God Talks With Arjuna
