Bhagavad Gita 12.8

mayy eva mana ādhatsva

mayi buddhiṁ niveśaya

nivasiṣyasi mayy eva

ata ūrdhvaṁ na saṁśayaḥ

 

Let your mind rest in me alone,

Set your intelligence so I am known;

Dwell in me from this day on,

And all your doubts will be gone.

 

My dear Lord, you are not merely one person among many, nor simply an extraordinary person above ordinary persons. You are the ultimate reality—omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. Yet you choose to delight in loving relationships as your most cherished activity. Thus your highest manifestation—indeed, your defining self-existence—is as a disarmingly loving, human-like person with bewitching beauty: threefold-bending, flute-playing, peacock-feather-wearing.

O supreme unfathomable, that the infinite can assume a finite-seeming form and yet remain infinite is one among the many mysteries of you as the supreme personal divinity. For my intelligence, you are the ultimate object of curiosity: a joy to know and a joy to know how much more there is to know.
Simultaneously, O supreme lover, it is your infinite love that creates everything, sustains everything, and draws every heart toward its perfect fulfilment in divine communion. My restless mind, endlessly seeking stimulation yet never finding lasting satisfaction, finds ultimate rest only in you, relishing an enriching panorama of profound emotions.

O supremely inconceivable Lord, when my mind rests in you as infinite love and my intelligence rests in you as infinite mystery, you no longer remain a reality only to be realized in the future. You become a living, loving reality—both awe-inspiringly ultimate and endearingly intimate. Please grant me entry into that divine life, where I live not just for you, but with you and in you.

12.08 Just fix your mind upon Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and engage all your intelligence in Me. Thus you will live in Me always, without a doubt.
