This stanza is a beautiful summary of the entire chapter for it throws a flood of light upon many of the other stanzas. We may say that this stanza especially serves as a commentary to more than one verse in the chapter (Verses 14 and 27).

In all text-books of Vedanta (Brahma-Vidya), the technique of self-development and self-perfection through the “Paths of right-Knowledge and Meditation,” has been defined as, “Contemplation on That, talks on That, mutual discussion on That — and thus, to live ever mentally drowned in the Bliss-concept of the spiritual Reality, is called by the knowers of It, as the pursuit of Brahman.” Keeping this classical definition in mind, Vyasa steadily delineates his aesthetic “Path of Devotion” in this stanza. The same idea has already been brought out earlier in the chapter on more than one occasion.
With “THE MIND EVER FILLED WITH ME, MY DEVOTEE MAKES ALL SACRIFICES, ALL SALUTATIONS TO ME,” at all times, whatever be the type of work that engages him. In brief, the evolution of the mind is the very essence of all spiritual reformation in life. Neither the conditions in which we are, our circumstances and habits, nor the available ways of life, nor our past, nor our present — none of these is a bar for evolving spiritually.
Constant awareness, maintained diligently, is the secret of success.

When thus “YOU TAKE ME AS THE SUPREME GOAL” Krishna promises Arjuna, “YOU SHALL COME TO ME.” We are what we are because of our thoughts. If the thoughts are noble and divine, we become noble and divine.

Manmana bhava, have your mind fixed on Me; [Here Ast. adds the word vasudeva.-Tr] and also be madbhakah, devoted to Me. Madyaji, sacrifice to Me, be engaged in sacrificing to Me. And namaskuru, bow down; only mam, to Me. Yuktva, by concentrating your mind; and mat-parayanah, by accepting Me as the supreme Goal; esyasi eva, you shall surely attain; mam, Me who am God. You shall attain Me evam atmanam, who am thus the Self: I indeed am the Self of all the beings, and am also the supreme Goal. You shall attain Me who am such. In this way, the word atmanam (Self) is to be connected with the preceding word mam (Me). This is the purport.
