योगिनामपि सर्वेषां मद्गतेनान्तरात्मना ।
श्रद्धावान्भजते यो मां स मे युक्ततमो मतः ॥
श्रद्धावान्भजते यो मां स मे युक्ततमो मतः ॥
Hindi · हिन्दी
सम्पूर्ण योगियोंमें भी जो श्रद्धावान् भक्त मुझमें तल्लीन हुए मनसे मेरा भजन करता है, वह मेरे मतमें सर्वश्रेष्ठ योगी है ॥
English
Among all yogis, the one who worships me with trust, with the inner self absorbed in me, is considered the most fully united.
What this verse means
Among all kinds of yogis, the one whose inner being is fixed on Krishna and who worships him with trust is the highest.
Context & commentary
After teaching meditation, Krishna reaches the climax of Chapter 6. Arjuna has been shown practice, restraint, and steady mind, but Krishna now crowns the path: the most complete yogi is the one whose inner self rests in him and who worships with trust.
Why this verse still matters
You can master breathing exercises, routines, and self-control, yet still feel divided. The deepest integration comes when attention, trust, and love all point in one direction.
The takeaway
Devotion is not lesser than discipline; it can be the fullest form of union.
