Chapter 12 • Verse 8
मय्येव मन आधत्स्व मयि बुद्धिं निवेशय। निवसिष्यसि मय्येव अत ऊर्ध्वं न संशयः॥
mayy eva mana ādhatsva mayi buddhiṁ niveśhaya nivasiṣhyasi mayy eva ata ūrdhvaṁ na sanśhayaḥ
Meaning
Fix your mind on Me alone, let your intellect dwell in Me. Thereafter you shall live in Me alone. Of this there is no doubt.
The instruction: put your mind (manas) on Me, place your intellect (buddhi) in Me. The result is living in God — not just after death but now and ever after. No doubt about this. Mind and intellect, both given to God, ensure divine dwelling.
Strength Reflection
"I give my mind and intellect to God and thereby live in God."
Devotional Surrender
O Lord, my mind is on You, my intellect rests in You. Let me live in You always.
