Sanskrit
अनन्यचेताः सततं यो मां स्मरति नित्यशः । तस्याहं सुलभः पार्थ नित्ययुक्तस्य योगिनः ॥
ananyacetāḥ satataṃ yo māṃ smarati nityaśaḥ tasyāhaṃ sulabhaḥ pārtha nityayuktasya yoginaḥ
Translation
He who constantly thinketh upon Me, not thinking ever of another, of him I am easily reached, O Pârtha, of this ever-harmonised Yogî.

Explanation
A softer counterpoint to the elaborate technique of verses 12-13: for the one whose attention is simply undivided and constant, reaching Krishna is described as easy (sulabhah). The chapter keeps alternating this way between demanding yogic method and the simpler claim that steady devotion alone suffices — a tension it never fully resolves, and one the explicitly bhakti-focused chapters 9 and 12 lean into further.
