Verily those who love the spiritual wisdom as I have taught, whose faith never fails, and who concentrate their whole nature on Me, they indeed are My most beloved."

Virtue is called nectar because it leads to Immortquality, or because it is sweet like nectar.] which is indistinguishable from the virtues as stated above, they are very dear to Me.
They verily who follow this immortal Dharma (doctrine or law) as described above, endowed with faith, regarding Me as their supreme goal, they, the devotees, are exceedingly dear to Me.
