Classical Commentary
Fix thy mind means thy purposes and thoughts in Me the Lord in the Cosmic Form. Give up entirely all thoughts of sensual objects. Fix in Me thy intellect also -- the faculty which resolves and determines. What will be the result then Thou shalt undoubtedly live in Me as Myself. O Arjuna, of this there is no doubt whatsoever. The Yoga of meditation is described in this verse. (Cf. VIII.7X.9XI.34XVIII.65)
