tasmÄd asad-abhidhyÄnaá¹
yathÄ svapna-manoratham
hitvÄ mayi samÄdhatsva
mano mad-bhÄva-bhÄvitam
tasmÄt - therefore; asat - material; abhidhyÄnam - processes of elevation which absorb one's attention; yathÄ - just as; svapna - in a dream; manaḥ-ratham - mental concoction; hitvÄ - giving up; mayi - in Me; samÄdhatsva - completely absorb; manaḥ - the mind; mat-bhÄva - by consciousness of Me; bhÄvitam - purified.
Therefore, one should reject all material processes of elevation, which are like the mental creations of a dream, and should completely absorb one’s mind in Me. By constantly thinking of Me, one becomes purified.
The word bhÄvitam means “caused to be.†As explained in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ, material existence is an unstable platform subject to the constant disturbances of creation and annihilation. One who absorbs his consciousness in Kṛṣṇa, however, attains to Kṛṣṇa’s nature and is therefore described as mad-bhÄva-bhÄvitam, or one situated in real existence because of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The Lord here concludes His analysis of different processes of human perfection.
