Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 9: The Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret

Bhagavad Gita 9.34

मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु । मामेवैष्यसि युक्त्वैवमात्मानं मत्परायणः ॥

manmanā bhava madbhakto madyājī māṃ namaskuru | māmevaiṣyasi yuktvaivamātmānaṃ matparāyaṇaḥ ||

Fix your mind on me, be devoted to me, worship me, and bow to me. Having disciplined yourself in this way, with me as your highest goal, you will come to me.

Modern context

The chapter ends with four short commands: fix your mind on me, love me, worship me, bow to me. Mind, heart, action and body are all turned in one direction. It is the simplest summary of the path of devotion, and it will be repeated almost word for word near the end of the Gita. After all the philosophy, the message is that a whole life turned toward the divine will arrive there.
