Gita 3.7
यः, तु, इन्द्रियाणि, मनसा, नियम्य, आरभते, अर्जुन,

YaH, tu, indriyani, mansa, niyamya, aarabhte, Arjun,
KarmendriyaiH, karmyogam’, asaktH, saH, vishishyate ||7||
Translation: (Tu) but (Arjun) O Arjun! (yaH) a person who (mansa) by mind/internally (indriyani) of senses (niyamya) by bringing under control (asaktH) unattracted (karmendriyaiH) by all the senses of actions (karmyogam’) Karmyog i.e. act of bhakti in accordance with the injunctions of scriptures done along with performance of worldly tasks (aarabhte) follows (saH) only he (vishishyate) is superior. (7)
Translation: But O Arjun! A person, who by bringing the senses under control internally, being unattracted, follows karmyog i.e. the act of bhakti in accordance with the injunctions of scriptures done simultaneously with the performance of worldly tasks, only he is superior.
Important: - The above-mentioned not-to-be-done hathyog (forceful way of worship) has been recommended in Gita Chapter 6 Verse 10 to 15. Therefore, Arjun is saying in this Gita Chapter 3 Verse 2 that your contradictory statements are confusing me.
