Noble indeed are all these; but I deem the wise man as My very Self; for, steadfast in mind he is established in Me alone as the supreme goal.

All of these are noble, but the one who knows I regard as my very self. For, with self joined in yoga, he is established in me alone as the highest goal.

Krishna affirms that all four kinds of worshippers are noble, udāra. But he regards the one who knows as his very self. This person, whose self is joined in yoga, rests in Krishna as the highest goal. Some traditions read as my very self in the sense of identity; others in the sense of one who is as dear and close as one's own self. The verse avoids dismissing anyone while still naming the fullest form of relationship. Its generosity balances the sharp contrast drawn earlier with those who turn away.
