The Protected Devotee
To those who worship Me with love, ever steadfast, I give the understanding by which they come to Me.
Krishna promises special guidance to sincere devotees. Those who worship with constant love receive divine intelligence (buddhi-yoga) that guides them home. This is not about God playing favorites but about receptivity—the devoted mind is an open vessel that can receive wisdom. Like a radio tuned to the right frequency, the devoted heart picks up divine guidance that others miss.
To those who are constantly devoted and who worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.
Ramakrishna often said that when a devotee takes one step toward God, God takes a hundred steps toward the devotee—grace responds to sincere seeking.
