man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru mām evaiṣyasi satyaṁ te pratijāne priyo 'si me
"Fix your mind on Me, be devoted to Me, worship Me, bow to Me. You shall certainly come to Me. I promise you truly, for you are dear to Me."
What This Means:
Keep your mind on Krishna, love Him, worship Him, bow to Him. You will definitely reach Him - this is His true promise because Arjuna is dear to Him.
Going Deeper:
Four practices: 'Man-mana' - mind on Me; 'Mad-bhakta' - devoted to Me; 'Mad-yaji' - worshiping Me; 'Mam namaskuru' - bow to Me. 'Mam eva eshyasi' - you will come to Me alone. 'Satyam te pratijane' - I promise you truly - a divine oath. 'Priyo asi me' - you are dear to Me - the relationship is personal. This verse appeared earlier (9.34) but now with the solemn promise.
How To Apply This:
Make God the center: think of Him, love Him, serve Him, honor Him. This isn't complicated technique - it's simple devotion. And the promise is certain.
