Fix the mind on Me alone; in Me alone let the intellect rest. There is no doubt that hereafter you will dwell in Me alone.

Swami Gambiranandaafter Śaṅkara's bhāṣya· paired with Śaṅkara

Focus your mind on Me alone; and let your intellect enter into Me. Then, you will live in Me alone; there is no doubt.

Swami Adidevanandaafter Rāmānuja's bhāṣya· paired with Rāmānuja

Hence, fix your mind on nothing but Me; cause your thought to settle in Me. Thus, resorting to the best Yoga, you will dwell in Me alone.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayanafter Madhva's bhāṣya· paired with Madhva

Fix your mind on Me, and your intellect in Me. Then you will certainly live in Me alone hereafter.

Swami SivanandaThe Bhagavad Gita

Then let your mind cling only to Me, let your intellect abide in Me; and without doubt, you will live hereafter in Me alone.

Shri Purohit SwamiThe Geeta

ŚaṅkarācāryaGītā-bhāṣya
Advaita Vedānta· Classical
Machine translation · draft

Place, set, your mind, made of resolving and doubting, in Me alone, the Lord of the universal form. Set, lodge, in Me alone the understanding that makes its determinations. Hear what then becomes of you: you will dwell, you will surely dwell, in Me, having Me for your self, after the falling of the body; there is no doubt, no doubt is to be entertained here.

Viśiṣṭādvaita· Classical
Machine translation · draft

Therefore, since I am the surpassing human goal, easy to gain, and gained before long, set your mind on Me alone; make the concentration of the mind on Me. Set your understanding on Me; make the resolve 'I alone am the supreme thing to be attained'. From then on you will dwell in Me alone. Right after the setting of the mind on Me, preceded by the resolve 'I alone am the supreme thing to be attained', you will dwell in Me. This is the meaning.
