सब कर्मों को मन से मुझमें अर्पण करके (गीता अध्याय 9 श्लोक 27 में जिसकी विधि कही है) तथा समबुद्धि रूप योग को अवलंबन करके मेरे परायण और निरंतर मुझमें चित्तवाला हो॥57॥

Translation

Dedicate your every activity to me, making me your supreme goal. Taking shelter of the Yog of the intellect, keep your consciousness absorbed in me always.

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya’s Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda

18.57 Cetasa, mentally, with a discriminating intellect; sannyasya, surrendering; sarva-karmani, all actions meant for seen or unseen results; mayi, to Me, to God, in the manner described in, ‘Whatever you do, whatever you eat’ (9.27); and matparah, accepting Me as the supreme-you to whom I, Vasudeva, am the supreme, are matparah; becoming so; satatam, ever; maccittah bhava, have your kind fixed only on Me; upasritya, by resorting-resorting implies not taking recourse to anything else-; buddhi-yogam, to the concentration of your intellect. Having the intellect (buddhi) concentrated on Me is buddhi-yoga.
