Bhagavad Gita 9.34

मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु।मामेवैष्यसि युक्त्वैवमात्मानं मत्परायणः॥

manmanā bhava madbhakto madyājī māṃ namaskuru |māmevaiṣyasi yuktvaivamātmānaṃ matparāyaṇaḥ ||

Fix your mind on Me; be devoted to Me; sacrifice to Me; bow down to Me; having thus united your whole self to Me, taking Me as the supreme goal, you will come to Me.
