Meaning: All these devotees are undoubtedly magnanimous souls, but he who is situated in knowledge of Me I consider to be just like My own self. Being engaged in My transcendental service, he is sure to attain Me, the highest and most perfect goal.

*** The devotees are always in My heart, and I am always in the hearts of the devotees. The devotee does not know anything beyond Me, and  I also cannot forget the devotee. There is a very intimate relationship between Me and the pure devotees. Pure devotees in full knowledge are never out of spiritual touch, and therefore they are very much dear to Me.

Bhagavad Gita: Pure devotional Service (Text 16 Chapter 7)]

Meaning: Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, who are lowest among mankind, whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the atheistic nature of demons do not surrender unto Me.

*** It is said in Bhagavad -gita that simply by surrendering  oneself  unto the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality  Krsna one can surmount the stringent laws of material nature.

Meaning: O son of Prtha, know that I am the original seed of all existences, the intelligence of intelligent, and the prowess of all powerful men.
