I am the source of all; from Me everything evolves; understanding thus, the wise, endowed with meditation, worship Me.

I am the source of all; from me everything moves forth. Knowing this, the wise, filled with feeling, worship me.

This verse begins a group of four that many readers treat as the heart of the chapter. Krishna states plainly that he is the source of everything and that all activity proceeds from him. The wise who understand this turn to him in worship, and they do so bhāva-samanvitāḥ, full of feeling. The verse joins knowledge and devotion (bhakti) in a single movement: understanding leads to love, not away from it. It answers anyone who might think the Gita sets the thinker and the devotee against each other.
