Just fix your mind upon Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and

engage all your intelligence in Me. Thus you will live in Me always,

without a doubt.

 

 

PURPORT

 

One who is engaged in Lord Krsna's devotional service lives in a

direct relationship with the Supreme Lord, so there is no doubt that

his position is transcendental from the very beginning. A devotee

does not live on the material plane—he lives in Krsna The holy name

of the Lord and the Lord are nondifferent; therefore when a devotee

chants Hare Krsna, and His internal potency are dancing on the tongue

of the devotee. When he

offers Krsna food, Krsna directly accepts these eatables, and the

devotee becomes Krsna-ized by eating the remnants. One who does not

engage

in such service cannot understand how this is so, although this is a

process recommended in the Gita and in other Vedic literatures.
