Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 12 verse 8

 Chapter 12 verse 8 

“Fix your mind on Me alone and surrender your intellect to Me. There upon, you will always live in Me. Of this, there is no doubt.” 

The mind is responsible for all our feelings and emotions. It is what regulates how what emotions sense objects and the world of objects bring forth in us. Without controlling the mind, surrender to divine pursuits is not possible. Once the mind is controlled, the additional challenge is the intellect which is the seat of all thoughts which discern the feelings and emotions of the mind and rationalizes in a thought which could lead to action of a particular kind. Hence surrendering both mind and intellect to Divine pursuits is the only way to attain Him in personal form.
