यो यो यां यां तनुं भक्तः श्रद्धयार्चितुमिच्छति ।
तस्य तस्याचलां श्रद्धां तामेव विदधाम्यहम् ।। ७.२१ ।।

yo yo yāṁ yāṁ tanuṁ bhaktaḥ śraddhayārcitum icchati |
tasya tasyācalāṁ śraddhāṁ tām-eva vidadhāmy-aham || 7.21 ||

True, they become victims to ill-founded devotion and its transitory fruition. But that is no cause for alarm or wrath from any quarters. Humanity is marked for its divergent ways. As is Nature abounding in plurality, so too is the human creation within it. Without thrusting the task of discrimination and the ultimate view and vision on anyone, Nature still works with its laws graciously, letting people’s addiction and preference to run their course.

That each has abundant devotion and piety in what he or she does is all that matters for consideration. All people have their pet views and motivations, differing from one another. But the Creator, under whose aegis everything and all thrive, cannot brook any grudge or reciprocal prejudices. Disharmony may prevail beneath, but it does not reign above. In the totality of Creation can there be any disharmony? All the options and predilections of the people are thus met uniformly with the same benign attitude and benediction.

So, affirms Krishna, the Supreme takes due note of every one’s ways; and measures are effected to strengthen devotion and piety in the heart of the devout. The results aimed at are attained, but behind every individual effort and fruition are the same unfailing laws of the Supreme.
