The pure devotee is always within the core of My heart, and I am always in the heart of the pure devotee. My devotees do not know anything else but Me, and I do not know anyone else but them.
Yes thank you. When I read that verse some time ago it made me think that Śrīla Prabhupāda’s translation of BG 10.9 almost seems to have a double meaning. I don’t know if it intentional but the way I see it mirrors this verse: The thoughts of My pure devotees dwell in Me. (A devotees thoughts are always dwelling in Krishna AND Dwelling within Krishna are the thoughts of his pure devotees.)
This led to me thinking that sometimes he stole butter just to share it with his monkey friends, like Dadhilobha.
To this line I remembered a verse from Caitanya Bhagavata:
kṛṣṇera karaye sevā—bhaktera svabhāva
bhakta lāgi’ kṛṣṇera sakala-anubhāva
All the devotees’ actions are only for Krishna and all of Krishna’s actions are only for the devotees.
That's a gem of a verse, sadhu.
You know this one (SB 9.4.68):
sādhavo hṛdayaṁ mahyaṁ
sādhūnāṁ hṛdayaṁ tv aham
mad-anyat te na jānanti
nāhaṁ tebhyo manāg api
The pure devotee is always within the core of My heart, and I am always in the heart of the pure devotee. My devotees do not know anything else but Me, and I do not know anyone else but them.

I consider Bhagavad-gita to be a rasa sastra.
