मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु ।
मामेवैष्यसि सत्यं ते प्रतिजाने प्रियोऽसि मे ॥
man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru |
mām evaiṣyasi satyaṁ te pratijāne priyo’si me ||
(Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā: 18.65)
“Be of mind fixed on me, [be] my bhakta, [be] my worshipper. Offer obeisance to me. Certainly you will come to me. Truly, I promise you this, for you are dear to me.”
Commentary
man-manā bhava iti mad-bhaktaḥ sann eva māṁ cintaya | na tu jñānī yogī vā bhūtvā mad-dhyānaṁ kurv ity arthaḥ |
(Excerpt from the Sārārtha-varṣiṇī-ṭīkā)
“‘Be of mind fixed on me’ (man-manā bhava), that is, being [first of all] solely my bhakta, think of me, and not, rather, having become a jñānī or a yogī, meditate on me. This is the meaning.”
