Mūla — the verse
Gita Press numberingTranslation
Swami Gambhīrānanda · follows Śaṅkara-bhāṣyaHaving your mind fixed on Me, be devoted to Me, sacrifice to Me, and bow down to Me. By concentrating your mind and accepting Me as the supreme goal, you shall surely attain Me, who am thus the Self.
हिन्दी अनुवाद — Swami Tejomayānanda
(तुम) मुझमें स्थिर मन वाले बनो; मेरे भक्त और मेरे पूजन करने वाले बनो; मुझे नमस्कार करो; इस प्रकार मत्परायण (अर्थात् मैं ही जिसका परम लक्ष्य हूँ ऐसे) होकर आत्मा को मुझसे युक्त करके तुम मुझे ही प्राप्त होओगे।।

from Q&A with KnA“Fix the mind on Me, be devoted to Me, sacrifice to Me, bow down to Me; thus uniting yourself, with Me as your supreme goal, you shall come to Me.” The “self” that surrenders is the whole individual — mind (manas), act (worship), body (prostration), will (making Kṛṣṇa the goal) — offered up together. Surrender here is not the collapse of one part of us but the gathering of every part towards a single end. And the one to whom it is offered is, in the final analysis, one's own deepest Self; so the surrender of the little self is, secretly, its homecoming. This verse — repeated almost word for word at 18.65 — is the compact seal of the whole path of devotion.
