So, the shloka that I will put forth is -
ananyas chintayanto maam ye janah paryupasate
tesham nityabhiyuktanaam yogakshemam vahamyaham (9:22)
Meaning - I personally take care of both the spiritual and material welfare of those ever-steadfast devotees who always remember and adore Me with single-minded contemplation.
AHa, my second favorite shloka of Gita.
And Swami Vivekananda quotes it so many times in his writing, like over and over and over again.
This shloka is also present in Srimad Bhagvatam I think( not sure)
It is said in one of the folk tales , once when poet Jaydev had doubted this shloka and cut the vahamyaham part in ink and he went to bathe. He was very disturbed that day, owing to the poverty and other troubles.
When he was gone, a dark and a white boy came,sobbing and each bearing heavy baskets full of food and their body scarred with cut marks.
Padmavati asked them who they are and who made this happen and who sent the food after serving the tired boys water and something to eat.
The boys said Pandit ( Jayadev) sent them with the food and it was he who ebat them so badly. On hearing this, padmavati was very distressed with her husband. SHe asked them to wait inside and waited for her husband.
As soon as jaydev came, she pounced on him for his atrocious behaviour.
jaydev was surprised.
She can brought him inside to show him the proofand saw the boys have vanished and remaining of the sweets clung to Krishna Idol.
Thus proving, the Lord indeeds carries those who do not think of anything else and concentrate on him and him alone
