mayi

मयि सर्वाणि कर्माणि संन्यस्याध्यात्मचेतसा

mayi — unto me

Surrendering all your actions to me, your thoughts resting on what is highest, free of longing and free of “mine” — fight.

यज्ज्ञात्वा न पुनर्मोहमेवं यास्यसि पाण्डव

mayi — in me

Knowing it, you will not fall into this confusion again. By it you will see all beings, without exception, in yourself and in me.

यो मां पश्यति सर्वत्र सर्वं च मयि पश्यति

mayi — in me

One who sees me everywhere and sees everything in me — I am never lost to that person, nor is that person lost to me.

सर्वभूतस्थितं यो मां भजत्येकत्वमास्थितः

mayi — in me

One who, established in oneness, worships me as present in all beings — however such a person lives, that one lives in me.

मय्यासक्तमनाः पार्थ योगं युञ्जन्मदाश्रयः

mayi — to me

With your mind attached to me, son of Pritha, practising yoga and taking refuge in me — hear how you will know me completely and without doubt.

मत्तः परतरं नान्यत्किञ्चिदस्ति धनञ्जय

mayi — in me

There is nothing higher than me, Arjuna. All this is strung on me like pearls on a thread.

ये चैव सात्त्विका भावा राजसास्तामसाश्च ये

mayi — in me

Whatever states arise from clarity, from restlessness, or from inertia — know that they come from me. I am not in them; they are in me.

तस्मात्सर्वेषु कालेषु मामनुस्मर युध्य च

mayi — to me

So remember me at all times, and fight. With mind and understanding surrendered to me, you will surely come to me.

समोऽहं सर्वभूतेषु न मे द्वेष्योऽस्ति न प्रियः

mayi — reside in me

I am the same in all beings. No one is hateful to me and no one dear. But those who worship me with devotion are in me, and I am in them.

मय्यावेश्य मनो ये मां नित्ययुक्ता उपासते

mayi — on me

Those who fix their minds on me and worship me, always steady, with the highest faith — I hold them to be the best joined.

ये तु सर्वाणि कर्माणि मयि संन्यस्य मत्पराः

mayi — to me

But those who, giving all their actions over to me, take me as the highest and worship me with a mind turned nowhere else —

तेषामहं समुद्धर्ता मृत्युसंसारसागरात्

mayi — with me

for them, whose thought is on me, I am soon the one who lifts them out of the ocean of death and rebirth.

मय्येव मन आधत्स्व मयि बुद्धिं निवेशय

mayi — on me

Fix your mind on me alone; settle your understanding in me. Then you will dwell in me from now on. Of this there is no doubt.

अथ चित्तं समाधातुं न शक्नोषि मयि स्थिरम्

mayi — on me

If you cannot hold your thought steadily on me, then seek to reach me by the practice of returning, Arjuna.

सन्तुष्टः सततं योगी यतात्मा दृढनिश्चयः

mayi — to me

content, self-governed, firm in resolve, always joined, with mind and understanding given to me — such a devoted one is dear to me.

मयि चानन्ययोगेन भक्ितरव्यभिचारिणी

mayi — toward me

unwavering devotion to me, turned nowhere else; a liking for solitary places, and no taste for crowds;

चेतसा सर्वकर्माणि मयि संन्यस्य मत्परः

mayi — to me

Give over every action to me in your thought, take me as the highest, hold to the yoga of understanding, and keep your mind always on me.

य इमं परमं गुह्यं मद्भक्तेष्वभिधास्यति

mayi — to me

But one who declares this deepest secret among those devoted to me does the highest act of devotion, and will surely come to me.
