śhrī bhagavān uvācha mayyāsakta-manāḥ pārtha yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśhrayaḥ asanśhayaṁ samagraṁ māṁ yathā jñāsyasi tach chhṛiṇu
In plain words
You've been trying to think your way to answers—about your marriage, your purpose, your next step, your fear—and the thinking only tightens the knot. Krishna says: stop grasping for certainty through your own effort, and instead turn your whole mind toward what you love, what you trust, what holds you. When you do, the answers come not as intellectual clarity, but as a quietness and knowing that was already there, waiting for you to stop fighting and listen.
Word by Word
Krishna opens the seventh teaching by revealing the supreme knowledge that comes not through intellectual accumulation, but through the marriage of mind, devotion, and surrender to the Divine. When your consciousness becomes absorbed in the Lord—not as a distant concept, but as the living reality you turn toward in every moment—the barrier between knower and known dissolves, and you experience Me completely, without doubt or fragmentation.
This is the promise: total understanding flows naturally when you stop grasping and instead rest your awareness in what you truly seek. In our modern spiritual path, this means releasing the need to 'figure out' God through thinking alone, and instead cultivating a receptive, devoted presence that allows wisdom to flower from within.
