Translations
The Blessed Lord said, "In My opinion, those who fix their minds on Me, worship Me ever steadfastly, and are endowed with supreme faith, are the best in Yoga."
Lord Shri Krishna replied: Those who keep their minds fixed on Me, who worship Me always with unwavering faith and concentration, are the very best.
The Blessed Lord said, "Those who meditate on Me, fixing their minds on Me with steadfast devotion, endowed with supreme faith—they are considered to be the most perfect yogis according to Me."
मेरेमें मनको लगाकर नित्य-निरन्तर मेरेमें लगे हुए जो भक्त परम श्रद्धासे युक्त होकर मेरी उपासना करते हैं, वे मेरे मतमें सर्वश्रेष्ठ योगी हैं।Commentary
Those devotees who fix their minds on Me in the Cosmi Form, the Supreme Lord and worship Me, ever harmonised and with intense and supreme faith, regarding Me as the Lord of all the masters of Yoga, who are free from attachment and other evil passions -- these, in My opinion, are the best versed in Yoga. They spend their days and nights in worshipping Me. They have no other thoughts except those, of Myself. They live for Me only. Therefore it is indeed proper to say that they are the best Yogins.
Are not the others, those who contemplate the imperishable, formless, attributeless, alityless Supreme Brahman, the best of Yogins Listen now to what I have to say regarding them.
