B.G 18.62-65
tameva śaraṇaṃ gaccha sarvabhāvena bhārata। tatprasādāt parāṃ śāntiṃ sthānaṃ prāpsyasi śāśvatam ॥62॥
Seek refuge in Him alone with all your being, O Bharata. Through his grace, you will achieve the ultimate peace and eternal abode.
iti te jñānam ākhyātaṃ guhyāt guhyataraṃ mayā। vimṛśyaitadaśeṣeṇa yathecchasi tathā kuru ॥63॥
Thus, this knowledge, more confidential than the secret, has been declared to you by me. Deliberating on this fully, do as you desire.
sarvaguhyatamaṁ bhūyaḥ śṛṇu me paramaṁ vacaḥ। iṣṭo'si me dṛḍhamiti tato vakṣyāmi te hitam ॥64॥
Listen once more to my supreme words, the most confidential of all. Because you are dear to me, I will speak to you for your benefit.
manmanā bhava madbhakto madyājī māṁ namaskuru। māmevaiṣyasi satyaṁ te pratijāne priyo'si me ॥65॥
Focus your mind on Me, be devoted to Me, worship Me, and offer obeisance to Me. You will certainly come to Me; I promise you this truthfully, for you are dear to Me.
