Uitleg

Krishna makes a remarkable statement about religious diversity. Whatever form a devotee wishes to worship with faith (śraddhā), Krishna himself makes that faith steady and unwavering. He does not withdraw support from those who worship other forms; he strengthens their sincerity. The verse expresses a wide tolerance within the Gita. Faith in any form is sustained from the same source, even when the worshipper does not know it. It also implies that sincerity of faith is valued in itself.
