मय्येव मन आधत्स्व मयि बुद्धिं निवेशय । निवसिष्यसि मय्येव अत ऊर्ध्वं न संशयः ॥ ८ ॥
mayy eva mana ādhatsva mayi buddhiṁ niveśhaya nivasiṣhyasi mayy eva ata ūrdhvaṁ na sanśhayaḥ
Translation
Fix your mind on Me alone, let your intellect rest in Me. Then you will live in Me alone from now on; of this there is no doubt.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
मुझमें ही मन लगाओ और मुझमें ही बुद्धि को स्थिर करो। इसके बाद तुम मुझमें ही निवास करोगे, इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं।
Commentary
Verses 8–11 form a ladder, one of the most practical passages in the Gita. The top rung is total absorption: both mind (manas, which feels and desires) and intellect (buddhi, which decides) turned to God. Krishna knows most people cannot start here, so the next verses offer gentler steps.
