Always think of me, be devoted to me, worship me, and offer obeisance to me. Doing so, you will certainly come to me. This is my pledge to you, for you are very dear to me. - #श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता 18.65
Shree Krishna makes Bhakti the top-most by this verse.
This total surrender is in fact the HIGHEST FORM OF BHAKTI of the nine forms of it mentioned in Srimadbhagavatam (7.5.23-24) :
(1) śravaṇa ("listening" to the scriptural stories of Krishna and his companions) (2) kīrtana ("praising"; usually refers to ecstatic group singing),
(3) smaraṇa ("remembering" or fixing the mind on Vishnu) (4) pāda-sevana(rendering service) (5) arcana (worshiping an image) (6) vandana (paying homage) (7) dāsya (servitude) (8) sākhya (friendship) (9) ātma-nivedana (complete surrender of the self).
its more clearer in next verse.
Abandon all varieties of dharmas and simply surrender unto me alone. I shall liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear - 18.66 🙏
