Sanskrit
ये यथा मां प्रपद्यन्ते तांस्तथैव भजाम्यहम् । मम वर्त्मानुवर्तन्ते मनुष्याः पार्थ सर्वशः ॥
ye yathā māṃ prapadyante tāṃs tathaiva bhajāmy aham mama vartmānuvartante manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvaśaḥ
Translation
However men approach Me, even so do I welcome them, for the path men take from every side is Mine, O Pârtha.

Explanation
A famous verse of religious pluralism, often read as the justification for the diversity of paths catalogued later in verses 25-30: however anyone approaches Krishna, he meets them the same way, because every human path ultimately runs to him. It functions as a hinge, closing the personal claims of verses 5-10 and opening onto the more structural discussion of action and its motives that begins in verse 12.
