Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 12, Verse 6
ये तु सर्वाणि कर्माणि मयि संन्यस्य मत्पराः । अनन्येनैव योगेन मां ध्यायन्त उपासते
ye tu sarvāṇi karmāṇi mayi saṃnyasya matparāḥ | ananyenaiva yogena māṃ dhyāyanta upāsate
Translation
But those who worship Me, renouncing all actions in Me, regarding Me Supreme, meditating on Me with exclusive devotion (yoga); for them whose thought is fixed on Me, I become ere long, O son of Pṛthā, the deliverer out of the ocean of the mortal saṃsāra.
— Alladi Mahadeva Sastri

Śaṅkarācārya's commentary
"Me" here means Īśvara, the Lord. "Exclusive" means having no other object of worship except Myself — God in the Universal Form. "Devotion" (Yoga) is samādhi or steadfastness of mind.
