"Thought is the most potent and creative power in the world. It initially takes shape in an individual mind. When shared with others, any benevolent thought starts growing as a vibrant process encompassing more and more people. It is such collective benevolent thoughts that build up great cultural values and treasure in the society."

उदाराः सर्व एवैते ज्ञानी त्वात्मैव मे मतम् ।
आस्थितः स हि युक्तात्मा मामेवानुत्तमां गतिम् ।। ७.१८ ।।

udārāḥ sarva evaite jñānī tv-ātmaiva me matam |
āsthitaḥ sa hi yuktātmā mām-evānuttamāṁ gatim || 7.18 ||

Audio Audio-BG-7.18
 

Krishna points out that such a Knower is incessantly united with him. In the Knower reigns the exclusiveness of devotion. Naturally such a one is extremely dear to Krishna, as is Krishna to him. Although all the four kinds are noble and pious, Krishna adds, “The Knower is my very Self. Remaining united, he attains the best of fruition and the most exalted abode.” For such a one, the Lord’s presence is neither concealed nor particular. Krishna here lifts all the distinctions and specializations he mentioned earlier (like punyo gandhah).
