15.19

Sanskrit

यो मामेवमसंमूढो जानाति पुरुषोत्तमम् । स सर्वविद्भजति मां सर्वभावेन भारत ॥

yo mām evam asaṃmūḍho jānāti puruṣottamam sa sarvavid bhajati māṃ sarvabhāvena bhārata

Translation

He who undeluded knoweth Me thus as the Supreme Spirit, he, all-knowing, worshippeth Me with his whole being, O Bhârata.

Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain

Explanation

The chapter now states its payoff: knowing Krishna, undeluded, as Purushottama makes one “all-knowing” and moves one to worship “with the whole being” (sarva-bhāvena), a phrase that ties metaphysical knowledge directly to total devotional orientation rather than treating them as separate tracks. This is consistent with how the Gita generally resolves its jnana/bhakti tension: right knowledge here is not presented as competing with devotion but as what makes devotion complete.
