1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 12 - Bhakti Yoga - Sloka 8

Mayi eva mana adhatsva mayi  buddhim niveshaya I

Nivasishyasi  mayi eva atah urdhvam na samshayah II sloka 8

मयि एव मन आधस्त्व मयि बुद्धिं निवेश्यस I

नियसिष्यसि मयि एव ऊर्ध्वं न संशयः II श्लोक 8

Fix your mind on Me alone, let your thoughts dwell in Me. You will hereafter live in Me alone. Of this there is no doubt.

To feel is the way of the mind and to decide is the way of the intellect. And these are the inner subtle organs of man. A man's residence need not be reckoned basing on the locality where he has placed himself bodily. Man verily is where his mind is. There are those who live in hell on earth; and there are those others who make a heaven of this earth. It is the mind of man that makes the heaven or hell. When this mind is made over to God, Man is then verily the divine presence. The Lord says there is no doubt about this; the devotee can verify this for himself.
