In case you are not able to cause your mind to enter completely into Me, then, O Dhananjaya! Seek to attain Me through the practice of Yoga.
But if thou canst not fix thy mind firmly on Me, then, My beloved friend, try to do so by constant practice.
If now you are unable to focus your mind on Me, then seek to reach Me, O Arjuna, by the practice of repetition.
If, however, you are unable to establish the mind steadily on Me, then, O Dhananjaya, seek to attain Me through the Yoga of Practice.
If thou art unable to fix thy mind steadily on Me, then by the Yoga of constant practice do thou seek to reach Me, O Arjuna!

Hence, fix your mind on nothing but Me; cause your thought to settle in Me. Thus, resorting to the best Yoga, you will dwell in Me alone.
Then let thy mind cling only to Me, let thy intellect abide in Me; and without doubt thou shalt live hereafter in Me alone.
Focus your mind on Me alone; and let your Buddhi enter into Me. Then, you will live in Me alone; there is no doubt.
Fix the mind on Me alone; in Me alone rest the intellect. There is no doubt that hereafter you will dwell in Me alone. [For the sake of metre, eva and atah (in the second line of the verse) are not joined together (to form evatah).]
Fix thy mind on Me only, thy intellect in Me, (then) thou shait no doubt live in Me alone hereafter.
