अपिः चेत् सुदुराचारो3 भजते मामनन्यभाक् । साधुरेव स मन्तव्य: सम्यग्व्यवसितो हि सः
api cet sudurācāro bhajate mām ananyabhāk | sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ samyagvyavasito hi saḥ ||
Sekalipun seseorang sangat buruk perilakunya, bila ia menyembah-Ku dengan bhakti yang tak terbagi, ia patut dipandang sebagai orang baik; sebab tekadnya telah tertuju dengan benar.

Exclusive devotion to the Divine can signify a decisive ethical turning point: even someone with a flawed past should be regarded as ‘good’ when their commitment is firmly and rightly set, because sincere devotion initiates inner reform and reorientation toward dharma.
In the Bhagavad Gita dialogue within the Bhishma Parva, Arjuna is in conversation with Krishna on the battlefield. This verse conveys Krishna’s principle that unwavering devotion is a powerful marker of spiritual and moral realignment, shaping how one should evaluate a person’s character amid the broader crisis of war and duty.
