Sanskrit to English Translation

Translator:
He who, being established in unity, worships Me, who dwells in all beings, that yogi abides in Me, whatever their mode of living may be.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: the yogi who worships Krishna abiding in all beings, seeing unity everywhere, remains in Krishna regardless of how they are otherwise living or acting, again suggesting this unified perception matters more than the specific external form of one's life.

In life: two people with very different external lifestyles can both be living from the same underlying groundedness, the external form isn't the whole story.

Teaching: judge your own or someone else's spiritual progress less by the external shape of their life and more by whether that underlying sense of connection and equanimity is actually present.

Deep Classical Commentary (Bhashya)

Author:
6.31 सर्वभूतस्थितम् abiding in all beings? यः who? माम् Me? भजति worships? एकत्वम् unity? आस्थितः established? सर्वथा in every way? वर्तमानः remaining? अपि also? सः that? योगी Yogi? मयि in Me? वर्तते abides.Commentary He who has dissolved all duality in the underlying unity? who is thus established in unity? who worships Me? i.e.? who has realised Me as the Self of all? dwells always in Me? whatever his mode of living may be. He is ever liberated.Sadana lived in God though he was a butcher because his mind was ever fixed at the lotus feet of the Lord.
