सब योगियों में भी जो श्रद्धावान होकर अपने अन्तरात्मा को मुझमें लगाए हुए मुझे भजता है — वह मेरे मत में सबसे श्रेष्ठ योगी (युक्ततम) है।

And of all yogis, one who worships Me with faith, with the inner self absorbed in Me — that person is considered by Me to be the most united, the highest yogi.
Commentary (टीका)
The chapter culminates with its most important declaration: among all yogis — ascetics, meditators, jnanis, and karma yogis — the highest is the devotee who worships Krishna with faith and whose inner being is absorbed in God. This verse elevates bhakti (devotion) to the supreme position, placing the personal relationship with God above all other spiritual practices. Faith (shraddha) and loving worship (bhajana) are declared the pinnacle of yoga.
