“Set your mind on me alone; settle your understanding in me. Hereafter you shall dwell in me alone — of this there is no doubt.”
— Original plain-language translation
Mind (feeling attention) and intellect (deciding judgment) are both to be lodged in Krishna — the whole inner instrument, not a part. The promise is dwelling, not merely visiting: union as home.
