चतुर्विधा भजन्ते मां जनाः सुकृतिनो ऽर्जुन ॥
आर्तो जिज्ञासुर् अर्थार्थी ज्ञानी च भरतर्षभ ॥
तेषां ज्ञानी नित्ययुक्त एकभक्तिर् विशिष्यते ॥
प्रियो हि ज्ञानिनो ऽत्यर्थम् अहं स च मम प्रियः ॥
उदाराः सर्व एवैते ज्ञानी त्व् आत्मैव मे मतम् ॥
आस्थितः स हि युक्तात्मा माम् एवानुत्तमां गतिम् ॥
बहूनां जन्मनाम् अन्ते ज्ञानवान् मां प्रपद्यते ॥
वासुदेवः सर्वम् इति स महात्मा सुदुर्लभः ॥
caturvidhā bhajante māṃ janāḥ sukṛtino 'rjuna ||
ārto jijñāsur arthārthī jñānī ca bharatarṣabha ||
teṣāṃ jñānī nityayukta ekabhaktir viśiṣyate ||
priyo hi jñānino 'tyartham ahaṃ sa ca mama priyaḥ ||
udārāḥ sarva evaite jñānī tv ātmaiva me matam ||
āsthitaḥ sa hi yuktātmā mām evānuttamāṃ gatim ||
bahūnāṃ janmanām ante jñānavān māṃ prapadyate ||
vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ ||
"O Arjuna, four kinds of virtuous people worship Me: the distressed, the seeker of knowledge, the seeker of gain, and the knower, O best of the Bharatas. Among them the knower excels, ever united in yoga and possessed of undivided devotion. I am immeasurably dear to the knower, and he is dear to Me. All of these are noble, but the knower, in My view, is like My own atman; for he is inwardly united with Me and has settled upon Me as the unsurpassed goal. After many births, the wise one surrenders to Me, understanding: ‘Vasudeva is all.’ Such a great soul is exceedingly rare."

Krishna accepts different motives for turning to Him, yet singles out the jnani, whose devotion has become undivided. The maturity of knowledge shows itself not in cold detachment but in the understanding that Vasudeva is everything.
