TRANSLATION 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, 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.
