Bhagavad Gita 15.19

One who knows Krishna as Purushottama without confusion knows all and worships with the whole being.

यो मामेवमसम्मूढो जानाति पुरुषोत्तमम्।
स सर्वविद्भजति मां सर्वभावेन भारत॥

yo māmevamasammūḍho jānāti puruṣottamam
sa sarvavidbhajati māṃ sarvabhāvena bhārata

Translation

One who knows me in this way, without confusion, as the highest Person, knows everything. Such a person worships me with their whole being, Bharata.

Hindi

जो भ्रम से मुक्त होकर मुझे इस प्रकार पुरुषोत्तम जानता है, वह सब कुछ जानने वाला है। हे भारत, वह पूरे भाव से मेरी भक्ति करता है।

Commentary

Knowledge of the Purushottama is meant to end in love, not in theory. The one who knows is called all-knowing because knowing the source includes knowing what flows from it, and such a person worships "with every state of being". This joins jnana and bhakti in a single verse. 15.20 closes the chapter.
