हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 18.57)
।।18.57।।चित्तसे सम्पूर्ण कर्म मुझमें अर्पण करके? मेरे परायण होकर तथा समताका आश्रय लेकर निरन्तर मुझमें चित्तवाला हो जा।


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Renunciation factually means surrendering all thoughts and actions unto  the
Supreme  Lord  Krishna,  regarding  Him  as  the  highest  attainment,  most
important reality, the very essence of ones life and the actual purpose  of
existence. Resorting to yoga or  facilitating  communion  with  the  Supreme
Lord  by  discrimination  of   spiritual   intelligence   while   performing
activities in every aspect of life one fixes their mind in devotion  to  the
Supreme Lord Krishna exclusively. In this way every activity is an  oblation
of devotion unto the Supreme Lord.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Lord Krishna confirms in this verse that those devotees who  are  versed  in
karma yoga or facilitating communion  with  the  Supreme  Lord  by  actions,
bhakti yoga or facilitating communion with the  Supreme  Lord  by  exclusive
loving devotion, jnana yoga or facilitating communion with the Supreme  Lord
by knowledge and  those  who  although  not  so  expert  have  anyway  fully
surrendered to Him are on the same platform there is no  difference  if  all
ordained actions are offered with a feeling  of  surrender  solely  to  Him.
Such consciousness will also  cause  a  modification  in  the  cessation  of
random thought waves that arise uninvited. The equanimity of  the  intellect
means control of the mind and snses.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Lord Krishna and His manifestations are constantly in the  thoughts  of  His
devotees in His impersonal form  as  the  brahman  or  spiritual  substratum
pervading all existence, as paramatma the Supreme Soul pervading within  the
etheric hearts of all living entities simultaneously  and  in  His  original
two armed blackish form bedecked with peacock feather and attended by  flute
as well as in His authorised incarnations  and  expansions.  Dedicating  all
efforts and actions unto the Supreme Lord with devotion considering Him   as
the sole goal and ultimate reward constitutes the essence  of  consciousness
and the apex of attainment.
