मय्येव मन आधत्स्व मयि बुद्धिं निवेशय |
निवसिष्यसि मय्येव अत ऊर्ध्वं न संशयः ||१२-८||
mayyeva mana ādhatsva mayi buddhiṃ niveśaya . nivasiṣyasi mayyeva ata ūrdhvaṃ na saṃśayaḥ ||12-8||
।।12.8।। तुम अपने मन और बुद्धि को मुझमें ही स्थिर करो, तदुपरान्त तुम मुझमें ही निवास करोगे, इसमें कोई संशय नहीं है।।
12.8 मयि in Me? एव only? मनः the mind? आधत्स्व fix? मयि in Me? बुद्धिम् (thy) intellect? निवेशय place? निवसिष्यसि thou shalt live? मयि in Me? एव alone? अतः ऊर्ध्वम् hereafter? न not? संशयः doubt.Commentary Fix thy mind means thy purposes and thoughts in Me the Lord in the Cosmic Form. Give up entirely all thoughts of sensual objects. Fix in Me thy intellect also -- the faculty which resolves and determines.What will be the result then Thou shalt undoubtedly live in Me as Myself. O Arjuna? of thi
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
।।12.8।।जब कि यह बात है तो --, तू मुझ विश्वरूप ईश्वरमें ही अपने संकल्प विकल्पात्मक मनको स्थिर कर और मुझमें ही निश्चय करनेवाली बुद्धिको स्थिर कर -- लगा। उससे तेरा क्या ( लाभ ) होगा सो सुन -- इसके पश्चात् अर्थात् शरीरका पतन होनेके उपरान्त तू निःसन्देह एकात्मभावसे मुझमें ही निवास करेगा? इसमें कुछ भी संशय नहीं है अर्थात् इस विषयमें संशय नहीं करना चाहिये।
