“Mentally entrusting all actions to me, with me as your highest goal, resorting to the yoga of understanding — be constantly mind-fixed on me.”
— Original plain-language translation
Krishna turns to direct address: the practice is mental offering — lay every deed at God's feet, aim at him alone, think with disciplined understanding, keep the mind on him. Four instructions, one posture of surrender. This verse is the practical doorway to the great assurances ahead.
