Translation
He who, being established in unity, worships Me, who dwells in all beings, that yogi abides in Me, whatever their mode of living may be.
Hindi translation
मेरेमें एकीभावसे स्थित हुआ जो योगी सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंमें स्थित मेरा भजन करता है, वह सब कुछ बर्ताव करता हुआ भी मेरेमें ही बर्ताव कर रहा है अर्थात् वह सर्वथा मेरेमें ही स्थित है।
Meaning
He who has dissolved all duality in the underlying unity, who is thus established in unity, who worships Me, i.e., who has realised Me as the Self of all, dwells always in Me, whatever his mode of living may be. He is ever liberated.Sadana lived in God though he was a butcher because his mind was ever fixed at the lotus feet of the Lord.
