Translator:
Fly to Him for refuge with all your being, O Arjuna; by His grace you will obtain supreme peace and the eternal abode.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: take refuge in him alone with your whole being, by his grace you shall attain supreme peace and the eternal abode, giving direct, personal instruction rather than only continuing the more impersonal, mechanistic description from the previous verse.

In life: sometimes, after a period of feeling caught within larger, impersonal forces, what actually helps most is a direct, personal instruction, something concrete you can actually orient toward, rather than continuing to only describe the larger, impersonal mechanism.

Teaching: after acknowledging the larger, impersonal forces shaping your circumstances, look for the direct, personal action you can actually take in response, orienting toward something concrete, rather than remaining stuck only in the more abstract, impersonal description of your situation.

Author:
18.62 तम् to Him? एव even? शरणम् गच्छ take refuge? सर्वभावेन with all thy being? भारत O Bharata? तत्प्रसादात् by His grace? पराम् supreme? शान्तिम् peace? स्थानम् the abode? प्राप्स्यसि (thou) shalt obtain? शाश्वतम् eternal.Commentary Do total and perfect surrender to the Lord. Do not keep any secret desires for silent gratification. Desire and egoism are the two chief obstacles that stand in the way of selfsurrender. Kill them ruthlessly.Run to the Lord for shelter with all thy being for freeing thyself from the troubles? afflictions and sorrows of Samsara. Take the Lord as the sole refuge. Then by His grace? thou shalt obtain supreme peace and attain to the supreme? eternal Abode.
