Bhagavad Gita 7.17

तेषां ज्ञानी नित्ययुक्त एकभक्तिर्विशिष्यते ।
प्रियो हि ज्ञानिनोऽत्यर्थमहं स च मम प्रिय:  ॥

teṣāṃ jñānī nitya-yukta eka-bhaktir-viśiṣyate
priyo hi jñānino’ty-artham-ahaṃ sa ca mama priya: – 17

Of these four, the Knower with his singular devotion is unbrokenly united with Me. He verily excels. For the Knower I am extremely dear, and he too is extremely dear to Me.
