adhyeṣyate ca ya imaṁ dharmyaṁ saṁvādam āvayoḥ jñāna-yajñena tenāham iṣṭaḥ syām iti me matiḥ
"And one who will study this sacred dialogue of ours—by that sacrifice of knowledge, I shall be worshipped. This is My view."
What This Means:
Anyone who studies this holy conversation between Krishna and Arjuna worships Krishna through the sacrifice of knowledge. This is Krishna's considered opinion.
Going Deeper:
'Dharmyam samvadam' - righteous dialogue. 'Adhyeshyate' - will study. 'Jnana-yajna' - sacrifice of knowledge - one of the highest forms of yajna. 'Ishtah syam' - I will be worshipped. 'Iti me mati' - this is My view/considered opinion. Simply studying the Gita is equivalent to worship through the sacrifice of wisdom.
How To Apply This:
Regular study of the Gita is itself a form of worship. You don't need elaborate rituals - deep, sincere study of sacred wisdom honors the Divine.
