...9.28

I am the same to all beings - there are none I favor, and none I detest. But those who worship me with devotion, they exist within me, and I too exist within them.

[29]

Even if the most sinful person were to worship me with undivided devotion, they should be regarded as righteous, for they have resolved to follow righteousness.

[30]

Such a person will quickly become righteous and attain eternal peace. Arjuna, believe me, my devotees are never lost.

[31]

Even those of sinful birth, women, laborers, and outcastes, all attain the supreme state by taking refuge in me.

[32]

What need is there to mention the holy priests, devoted sages, and earthly rulers? In this transient and miserable world, one should worship me with devotion.

[33]

Focus your mind on me, be my devotee, sacrifice for me, and surrender to me. By engaging your mind in this manner and regarding me as the supreme goal, you will certainly attain me.
