English Translation
There is no one among human beings who does dearer service to Me than that person, nor shall there ever be anyone on earth more dear to Me.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna declares that the teacher of the Gita is the dearest person to God — more beloved than anyone past or future. This extraordinary statement elevates the sharing of divine knowledge to the highest form of service. It demonstrates that helping others realize the truth is God's favorite act of devotion.
