mayi chānanya-yogena bhaktir avyabhichāriṇī vivikta-deśha-sevitvam aratir jana-sansadi
Translation
unwavering devotion to Me through undivided yoga, a liking for solitary places, and no taste for crowds and noisy company,
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
मुझमें अनन्य योग के द्वारा अव्यभिचारिणी भक्ति, एकांत स्थान में रहने का स्वभाव, और जनसमूह में रुचि का न होना,
Commentary
Devotion appears here in the middle of the list of knowledge. In the Gita, bhakti and jnana are not rival camps. Avyabhicharini, "not straying," describes devotion that stays faithful and does not drift to other goals. The liking for solitude is not dislike of people but freedom from depending on constant company.
