18.62 Take refuge with your whole being Krishna speaks
तमेव शरणं गच्छ सर्वभावेन भारत
तत्प्रसादात्परां शान्तिं स्थानं प्राप्स्यसि शाश्वतम्
tam eva śharaṇaṁ gachchha sarva-bhāvena bhārata
tat-prasādāt parāṁ śhāntiṁ sthānaṁ prāpsyasi śhāśhvatam
Take refuge in him with your whole being, Arjuna. By his grace you will come to the highest peace.
Explanation
Take refuge with your whole being.
sarva-bhāvena — with everything you are. By his grace you will come to the highest peace.
The instruction after 18.60 and 18.61 is not resignation. Having been told he is turned about like a device, he is asked for the one thing a device cannot give: all of himself.
