Nor is there any among men who does dearer service to Me, nor shall there be another on earth dearer to Me than he.

No one among humans does me dearer service than he, and no one on earth will be dearer to me than he.

Krishna adds that no one among humans does him dearer service than such a teacher, and no one on earth will be dearer to him. The language is warm and personal. It reflects the value placed on handing down spiritual knowledge in Indian traditions, where the teacher who explains a sacred text is honoured. The verse also implies a responsibility: to teach the Gita well is to take part in Krishna's own work.
