Bhagwad Gita - Post 241

Verse 62

 

Fly unto Him for refuge with all thy being, O Arjuna! By His Grace thou shalt obtain supreme peace and the eternal abode.

Such a Being exists; such a Lord is ruling the whole universe. Resort to Him. Surrender yourself to Him. Seek refuge in Him. 

Tam eva saranam gaccha sarvabhavena bharata

From the whole of your being, from all sides of your being, go and surrender yourself to that Almighty. Do not surrender only some part of your nature; do not reserve something to not be offered to God. 

Sarvabhāvena: Every aspect of your being has to be offered. Every aspect, every facet, and in every way is this surrender to be effected,  total surrender is called for, and seek refuge in Him.

Tat prasaadaat paraam shaantim sthaanam praapsyasi shaashvatam: By the grace of this compassionate Almighty Lord, Ishvara, you shall attain to the peace that surpasses understanding—that supreme peace which is eternal and untarnished by the process of spatial and temporal history. His grace, please seek it.

Verse 65

Fix thy mind on Me, be devoted to Me, sacrifice to Me, bow down to Me. Thou shalt come even to Me; truly do I promise unto thee, (for) thou art dear to Me.

Srimad Bhagavatam describes:

(Ambarish absorbed his mind on the lotus feet of Sri Krishna; 

he used his speech in glorifying the qualities of God, 

his hands in cleaning the temple, and 

his ears in hearing the divine pastimes of the Lord. 

He engaged his eyes in seeing the deities; 

he used his limbs in touching the bodies of the devotees, 

his nose in smelling the fragrance of the Tulsī (holy basil) leaves offered at the feet of the Lord, and 

his tongue in tasting prasād (food sanctified by offering to God). 

He utilized his feet for walking to the holy abodes,  his head in offering obeisance to the lotus feet of God. 

He offered all paraphernalia, such as garlands and sandalwood, in the service of God. 

He did all this, not with some selfish motive, but only to attain the selfless service of Lord Krishna, through purification.)

Lord says, “Develop one pointedness of mind. Fix thy thought on Me. If the mind wanders bring it again and again to the centre or point or object of meditation through constant practice. Offer all thy actions to Me. Let thy tongue utter My name. Let thy hands work for Me. Let thy feet move for Me. Let all thy actions be for Me. Give up hatred towards any living creature. Bow down to Me. 

Then thou wilt attain Me. The Lord gives Arjuna His definite word of promise or solemn declaration. Having received My grace thou wilt gain complete knowledge of Me and that in itself will indeed lead to thy absorption into My Being.

O Arjuna looking up to Me alone as thy aim and the sole refuge, thou shalt assuredly come to Me. Have faith in the words of the Lord and make a solemn promise. 

The Lord proceeds to teach further higher secret of Self Surrender in the next verse.

Love.
