Four simple instructions: fix your mind on Me, be My devotee, worship Me, bow to Me. And a promise backed by Krishna's own word: you will come to Me. This is truth — I pledge it. Because you are dear to Me.
These four acts are not rituals to be performed mechanically. They describe a complete inner orientation. The mind turns toward Krishna. The heart holds devotion. Actions become offerings. The whole being bows — not out of obligation, but out of love. When all four converge, the person is no longer walking toward Krishna. They are already there.
And then: 'satyam te pratijane' — I give you My solemn promise. In the entire Gita, Krishna has taught, explained, reasoned, and revealed. Here, for the first time, He makes a vow. And He seals it with 'priyo asi me' — you are dear to Me. The vow and the love are inseparable.
