Gita Chapter 13 Verse 18

Iti, kshetrm’, tatha, gyaanm’, gyeyam’, ch, uktam’, samaasatH,
Mad’bhaktH, etat’, vigyaay, mad’bhaavaay, uppadhyate ||18||

Translation: (Iti) thus (kshetrm’) body (tatha) and (gyeyam’) the God worthy of being known (gyaanm’) knowledge (samaasatH) in brief (uktam’) have said (ch) and (mad’bhaktH) Mat’ bhakt i.e an inquisitive person who knows this opinion/viewpoint is known as mad’bhakt i.e. my devotee who knows my opinion (etat’) this (vigyaay) knowing in essence (mad’bhaavaay) Matavlambi i.e. that same viewpoint of mine (uppadhyate) acquires. (18)

Translation: Thus I have said in brief the knowledge about the body and the God who is worthy of being known. And Mat’ bhakt i.e. an inquisitive person who knows this opinion/viewpoint i.e. my devotee who knows my opinion knowing this in essence acquires that same viewpoint i.e. Matavlambi. Abandoning Kaal i.e. Brahm-sadhna and by doing sadhna of Purna Brahm, SatPurush, is completely liberated from birth and death.

Important: - In Yajurved Gita Chapter 40 Mantra 9, it is said that a worshipper who used to do Brahm-worship in the previous births, he acquires the same nature in the present life. He does Brahm-worship only. When he finds a Tatvdarshi saint who describes the difference between the bhakti of Brahm and Purna Brahm, he immediately engages in true worship.
