Translator:
And among all the Yogis, he who, full of faith and with his inner self merged in Me, worships Me is deemed by Me to be the most devoted.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: among all yogis, the one who worships Krishna with faith, whose inner self is absorbed in him, is considered the most united in yoga, closing the chapter by naming devotion, a felt relationship, as the culmination of all the technical practice described.

In life: technique and discipline alone, without some genuine sense of care or devotion behind them, tend to feel mechanical and eventually hollow.

Teaching: make sure whatever demanding practice or discipline you're building has some genuine feeling of care or purpose behind it, technique without that connection tends not to sustain itself for long.
