अनन्यचेताः सततं यो मां स्मरति नित्यशः।तस्याहं सुलभः पार्थ नित्ययुक्तस्य योगिनः॥
ananya-cetāḥ satataṃ yo māṃ smarati nityaśaḥtasyāhaṃ sulabhaḥ pārtha nitya-yuktasya yoginaḥ
Word by word
The verse says
For the one who remembers me constantly, whose mind goes nowhere else — for that practitioner, always joined, I am easy to reach.
In plain words
Sulabhaḥ — easy to reach.
After the breath between the brows, after the gates and the syllable, the word Krishna chooses is easy.
The condition is not difficulty. It is constancy, which is a different thing entirely.
Where you've felt this · in friendship
You have a friend you would call at three in the morning without thinking twice. If you listed your friends by how impressive they are, she would not be near the top. She is simply the one you have called the most. The number goes in before you have decided to dial it.
Going deeper
Easy to reach sits awkwardly next to something said one chapter ago, and the tension is real rather than apparent.
Chapter 7 ended by calling the person who truly knows very hard to find — perhaps one in many thousands, after many lifetimes. Here the same one says he is easy to reach. Both lines are in the book and neither is a slip.
The difference is what each is measuring. Rarity describes how many people actually do this. Ease describes what it costs the person who does. Very few take the road; the road itself is not steep.
That is worth sitting with if you have been treating closeness to God as an achievement reserved for the exceptional. The verse does not say you are exceptional. It says the requirement is regularity, and regularity is boring, available, and entirely within reach.
