TRANSLATION
Therefore,
Arjuna, you should always think of Me in the form of Krsna and at the same
time carry out your prescribed duty of fighting. With your activities dedicated
to Me and your mind and intelligence fixed on Me, you will attain Me without
doubt.
PURPORT
This instruction
to Arjuna is very important for all men engaged in material activities.
The Lord does not say that one should give up his prescribed duties or
engagements. One can continue them and at the same time think of Krsna
by chanting Hare Krsna. This will free one from material contamination
and engage the mind and intelligence in Krsna. By chanting Krsna's names,
one will be transferred to the supreme planet, Krsnaloka, without a doubt.
