Hi, I am happy to answer this question .

According to Bhagavada Gita , Sri Krishna wants to say that shower your sheer love towards me, be complete devote of me . Surrender unto me and I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. I shall take you into me he promises .

karma yoga according to Gita is : addresses skilful and without fruit work . Karma should be benifiting the people of the world (lok Samhara ) and nature. Karma shouldn't be done for the self gratification. It should be done right without any condition . 
thanks 

hope this clears a little 🥰
