Ch 09 : Sh 13-14

महात्मानस्तु मां पार्थ दैवीं प्रकृतिमाश्रिताः ।
भजन्त्यनन्यमनसो ज्ञात्वा भूतादिमव्यम्‌ ॥
सततं कीर्तयन्तो मां यतन्तश्च दृढ़व्रताः ।
नमस्यन्तश्च मां भक्त्या नित्ययुक्ता उपासते ॥

Transliteration

mahātmān-astu māṃ pārtha daivīṃ prakṛtim-āśritāḥ |
bhajanty-ananya-manaso jñātvā-bhūtādim-avyayam || 13 |
satataṃ kīrtayanto māṃ yatantaśca dṛḍha-vratāḥ |
namasyantaśca māṃ bhaktyā nitya-yuktā upāsate || 14 ||

Translation

But the great-souled, O Partha, abiding in My divine nature, knowing this imperishable source of beings propitiate Me with undistracted mind. Ever eulogizing Me, steadfast in their efforts, bowing down to Me in communion, they worship Me, ever disciplined.

Purport

In earlier two Shlokas Bhagvan Shri Krishna described a kind of people who under the influence of strong dependency on senses fail to recognize Bhagvan Shri even when He is in front of them during the time of incarnation.

On the other hands, the true devotee of Bhagvan Shri Krishna submit to his divine nature and stay in undivided devotion towards him even though Shri Krishna is not in front of him. Such devotees recognize the supreme divine nature of Bhagvan Shri Krishna.

In these two Shloka Bhagvan Shri Krishna describes, such people share the bliss of the divine nature of Bhagvan Shri Krishna. Once they taste divine joy they stay in devotion forever. Such pure devotee attains supreme peace in the present life and got liberated after this life.
