Bhagavad Gita 6.47:

yoginām api sarveṣāṁ

mad-gatenāntar-ātmanā

śraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁ

sa me yuktatamo mataḥ

 

“Among all yogis, the greatest is one,

Whose immersion in me is never undone.

With faith and love, they worship the best,

And in my presence, find their divine rest.”

 

My dear Lord, you exist not just as the all-pervading impersonal light or as the all-pervading guide. You exist in your personal home, as the peacock-feather-wearing, threefold-bending, flute-playing Lord of Vrindavan—Krishna.

For your greatest devotees, who are also the greatest yogis, everything reminds them of you. Their thoughts always reside in you, and they see the very idea that anything can exist outside of you as an illusion.

For them, this is not just a philosophical conceptualization; it is also a personal realization. Just as a loving mother sees her baby in everything around her, so too, my Lord, their love for you is so intense and overpowering that everything reminds them of you. 

My dear Lord, please bless me with the association of such consummate yogis who are completely immersed in you.  Through their association, bless me, O Lord, so that I may receive even a drop of their immersion in you. For those great saints, everything reminds them of you. For me, my Lord, sometimes nothing seems to remind me of you. Even when I behold your personal form, it sometimes does not evoke devotional emotion within me.

Please, O Lord, guide me to practice yoga diligently so that one day you may become the home of my thoughts. That is the culmination of yoga, and that is the perfection of life.

06.47 And of all yogīs, the one with great faith who always abides in Me, thinks of Me within himself and renders transcendental loving service to Me – he is the most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all. That is My opinion.
