Be one whose mind is on Me, whose thought is on Me. Be My devotee, given to worshipping Me. Be My sacrificer, given to sacrificing to Me. Bow down to Me; offer your salutation too to Me alone. Living thus, with means, end, and purpose all offered up into Vasudeva alone, you will come to Me alone. I promise you truly, I make a true promise in this matter, since you are dear to Me. The sense of the sentence is this: knowing the Lord's promise to be true, and so being certain that liberation is the inevitable fruit of devotion to the Lord, one should become wholly devoted to taking refuge in the Lord. Having concluded the supreme secret of the standing in the discipline of action, the taking of refuge in the Lord, the Lord now states what must be told, the fruit of the standing in the discipline of action, namely right vision, enjoined as the essence of all the Vedanta.

In the Vedanta, in such texts as 'I know that great Person, sun-coloured, beyond darkness; knowing Him thus, one becomes immortal here; there is no other path for the journey', what is enjoined, denoted by the words 'knowing', 'meditation', 'worship', and the rest, of the same form as a seeing, an exceedingly dear stream of remembrance, is here enjoined by 'be one whose mind is on Me'. My devotee, exceedingly dear to Me; by an exceedingly great love for Me, make a remembrance unsurpassedly dear; this is the meaning. My sacrificer; here too 'My devotee' is to be carried over; sacrificing is worship; be one bent on the worship of Me that is exceedingly dear; for worship is the full activity of the subordinate one. Bow down to Me; bowing is the salutation; make toward Me the exceedingly dear bending-utterly-low. Living thus, you will come to Me alone; this I promise you truly, I make a promise to you, not a mere coaxing; for you are dear to Me, as it was said before, 'exceedingly dear to the man of knowledge am I, and he is dear to Me'. For one in whom there is an exceeding love toward Me, there is in Me too an exceeding love toward him; so, unable to bear separation from him, I bring him to Me. Therefore it is a truly made promise, 'you will come to Me alone'.
