ॐDaily Verse·12.8

मय्येव मन आधत्स्व मयि बुद्धिं निवेशय । निवसिष्यसि मय्येव अत ऊर्ध्वं न संशयः ॥

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

Translation

Fix your mind on Me alone; let your intellect enter into Me. Thereafter you shall abide in Me alone — there is no doubt of this.

Interpretation

The practical instruction for the highest path, stated simply: mayyeva mana adhatsva (fix your mind on Me alone), mayi buddhim niveshaya (let your intellect enter into Me — not just the emotional mind but the discriminating intellect as well). The result: nivasisyasi mayyeva — 'you shall abide in Me alone.' This is the complete surrender of the inner faculties to the Divine. When both mind and intellect are fully given over to the Divine, the entire being follows, and liberation is the natural result. Na samshayah — 'there is no doubt of this.'
