SP translate 7.21 as
I am in everyone’s heart as the Supersoul. As soon as one desires to worship some demigod, I make his faith steady so that he can devote himself to that particular deity.
But word to word translation gives :
Whoever worships me with devotion in whichever form, based on his faith and understanding, I respond to the devotee through that very form and stabilize the faith of that devotee.
