Verse 7.17

तेषां ज्ञानी नित्ययुक्त एकभक्ितर्विशिष्यते। प्रियो हि ज्ञानिनोऽत्यर्थमहं स च मम प्रियः।।7.17।।

teṣhāṁ jñānī nitya-yukta eka-bhaktir viśhiṣhyate priyo hi jñānino ’tyartham ahaṁ sa cha mama priyaḥ

Meaning

Out of everyone, the ones who are, like, always loyal to the One? They're the GOATs. I'm, like, seriously into the wise ones, and they're totally into me.

Commentary

Okay, so like, 'ekabhakti' means you're, like, totally and completely devoted to the Supreme Being, no cap. The Jnani-Bhakta? They're above all that cult stuff, all the creeds, religion, and societal rules. It's like, they're constantly vibing with the One, and that makes them superior to other devotees. I'm their inner self, their Antaratma, so they're super duper dear to me, and it's mutual, you know? It's like, everyone loves themselves the most, and the wise one is my Self, so yeah.
