6.31
सर्वभूतस्थितं यो मां भजत्येकत्वमास्थितः ।
सर्वथा वर्तमानोऽपि स योगी मयि वर्तते ॥
sarvabhūtasthitaṃ yo māṃ bhajaty ekatvam āsthitaḥ
sarvathā vartamāno 'pi sa yogī mayi vartate
Kṛṣṇa (कृष्ण) is still speaking.
The verse
The yogin who honors me as standing in all beings, having taken his stand in oneness, abides in me, however he is living.
नेपालीमा
एकत्वमा उभिएर, सबै भूतमा उभिएको मलाई मान्ने योगी, जसरी बाँचे पनि, ममा रहन्छ।
Where it sits
6.30 was seeing. This verse is honoring, and it survives the ordinary way a life is lived. sarvathā vartamānaḥ (सर्वथा वर्तमानः) keeps the yogin inside the world he sees as one.

The phrases
यः माम् भजति yaḥ māṃ bhajati, with sarvabhūtasthitam (सर्वभूतस्थितम्), is the man who honors me as the one standing in all beings. एकत्वम् आस्थितः ekatvam āsthitaḥ is the stand he has taken: oneness.
sarvathā vartamānaḥ api (सर्वथा वर्तमानः अपि) is the concession. However he is living. saḥ yogī mayi vartate (सः योगी मयि वर्तते) is the result that does not depend on that how. He abides in me.
bhajati ekatvam (भजति एकत्वम्) is bhajatyekatvam (भजत्येकत्वम्). vartamānaḥ api (वर्तमानः अपि) is vartamāno 'pi (वर्तमानोऽपि). saḥ yogī (सः योगी) is sa yogī (स योगी).
Sanskrit in this line
api (अपि) after a participle makes a concession, "even while." vartamāno 'pi (वर्तमानोऽपि) is "even while living." The avagraha is the same --aḥ (अः) plus a (अ) as yogo 'sti (योगोऽस्ति) in 6.16. The main verb is vartate (वर्तते), and its locative mayi (मयि) is where he abides. The participle is not a second life alongside that. It is the life during which the abiding holds.
Say it back
How he honors, and where he abides even while living. If ekatvam (एकत्वम्) drops out, the stand he took is gone.
