Chapter-18
Release
57. Resigning mentally all works to Me, and making Me your goal, and resorting to buddhiyoga, keep your mind constantly on Me. And so, O winner of wealth, surrender all your actions to Me (1256- 1260). But, O warrior, do not abandon your obligatory actions and fix your mental faculties in discriminating knowledge. You will come to know through this discriminating knowledge, My spotless nature, which is different from actions and that the Maya, which is the source of ignorance, is far away from you. Then, O Arjuna, you will realise that this prakriti too, is not distinct from the Supreme Self, as the shadow cannot remain without its original object. In this way, when this prakriti is negated, then there will result without any effort, total renunciation of action (1261-1265). With the elimination of all actions, only the Self will remain behind and your intellect will become united with him like a chaste wife. So when your intellect will enter Me, with unswerving devotion, then your mind will resort to Me, casting off the other objects of thought. So you should act in such a way, that your mind will give up all other thoughts and remain steady in Me.
