The worshippers of the gods go to them; to the manes go the ancestor-worshippers; to the deities who preside over the elements go their worshippers; but My devotees come to Me.

Those devoted to the gods go to the gods; those devoted to the ancestors go to the ancestors; those who worship spirits go to the spirits; and those who worship me come to me.

Krishna states a principle of correspondence. Those devoted to the gods go to the gods; those devoted to the ancestors go to the ancestors; those who worship spirits go to the spirits; and those who worship Krishna come to him. People reach what they give themselves to. The verse is less a judgment than a description of how worship shapes destiny. It invites Arjuna to consider what he himself most deeply honours, since that will determine where his life leads.
