Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
इसलिए सब समय मेरा स्मरण कर और युद्ध भी कर। मुझमें अर्पित मन-बुद्धि वाला तू निःसंदेह मुझे ही प्राप्त होगा।
English Translation
Therefore, at all times remember Me and fight. With your mind and intellect surrendered to Me, you shall certainly come to Me alone, without doubt.
Commentary (टीका)
This verse perfectly balances the spiritual and worldly dimensions. Krishna does not ask Arjuna to renounce action but to perform his duty (fight) while maintaining constant remembrance of God. This is the essence of Karma Yoga — dedicating the mind to God while fully engaging with life's responsibilities.
