bhaktiḥ

तेषां ज्ञानी नित्ययुक्त एकभक्ितर्विशिष्यते

bhaktiḥ — devotion

Of these, the one who knows — always steady, devoted to the one thing — stands out. I am dear to that person, and that person is dear to me.

पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति

bhaktyā — with devotion

A leaf, a flower, a fruit, water — whoever offers me these with devotion, I accept that offering from one who has given it with a pure heart.

यो न हृष्यति न द्वेष्टि न शोचति न काङ्क्षति

bhakti-mān — full of devotion

One who neither exults nor hates, neither grieves nor craves, who has let go of both the pleasant and the unpleasant — that one is dear to me.

तुल्यनिन्दास्तुतिर्मौनी सन्तुष्टो येनकेनचित्

bhakti-mān — full of devotion

the same under blame and praise, quiet, content with whatever comes, without a fixed dwelling, steady in mind — such a devoted person is dear to me.

मयि चानन्ययोगेन भक्ितरव्यभिचारिणी

bhaktiḥ — devotion

unwavering devotion to me, turned nowhere else; a liking for solitary places, and no taste for crowds;

मां च योऽव्यभिचारेण भक्ितयोगेन सेवते

bhakti-yogena — through devotion

And one who serves me with unwavering devotion, going beyond these strands, is fit for the state of Brahman.

य इमं परमं गुह्यं मद्भक्तेष्वभिधास्यति

bhaktim — greatest act of love

But one who declares this deepest secret among those devoted to me does the highest act of devotion, and will surely come to me.
