Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 8 verse 7

 Chapter 8 verse 7 

Therefore, always remember Me and also do your duty of fighting the war. With mind and intellect surrendered to Me, you will definitely attain Me; of this, there is no doubt.” 

If one has to remember and only think of the Divine and His glorious names, it has to come from lifelong practice. How does one practice throughout their life? By doing all actions ordained to us-fight, work in an office or a business, serve the government, serve other people, start and run a business, teach-whatever has been our chosen or natural path, has to be done with one pointed focus of the mind and intellect on the Supreme. Do your duty while surrendering those actions to lotus feet of the Divine. When life is lived like that, there is no stress since only action is in your hands, not a particular result of that action. In your mind and intellect, you have already surrendered the result to Him. Krishna provides such an easy to understand rule of universe and yet it is so difficult for this egocentric self complex to follow. Grace be on us!
