Commentary

“But those whose minds are centred on Me, the Supreme Self, and ‘intent upon Me,’ — namely, regarding Me as their sole objective, dedicating to Me all their actions — including all worldly actions like eating which are meant for maintaining the body, as also Vedic rites like yāgas, charity, daily fire-offerings, austerities etc., along with their foundational rites and purposes — worship Me and meditate on Me with exclusive devotion, namely, with devotion devoid of any personal motive, adoring Me by all such acts as meditation, worship, prostration, praises and chanting the holy names which are in themselves cherished activities and are equal (in enjoyment) to the end itself — to these I swiftly become their liberator from the ocean of Samsara which, on account of its being obstructive to the attainment of Myself, is fatal.”

mayyeva mana ādhatsva mayi buddhiṃ niveśaya |
nivasiṣyasi mayyeva ata ūrdhvaṃ na saṃśayaḥ || 8 ||

8. Centre your mind on Me alone; and let your intellect (Buddhi) be absorbed in Me. Then, you
will abide in Me alone hereafter; there is no doubt.
