Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 12: The Path of Devotion

Bhagavad Gita 12.14

santuṣṭaḥ satataṃ yogī yatātmā dṛḍhaniścayaḥ | mayyarpitamanobuddhiryo madbhaktaḥ sa me priyaḥ ||

the yogi who is always content, self-controlled, and firm in resolve, whose mind and understanding are given to me: that devotee of mine is dear to me.

Modern context

Always content, self-controlled, firm in resolve. Contentment is placed first. A person who is content is not chasing; they are free to give their attention to others and to the divine. The refrain 'that devotee is dear to me' begins here and will be repeated, like a chorus. It is not a reward to be earned but a description of a relationship.
