In the forth installment of the Chinmaya Panchamrita, we have this verse. अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जना: पर्युपासते | तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम् || Or ananyāścintayanto māṁ ye janāḥ paryupāsate, teṣāṁ nityābhiyuktānāṁ yogakṣemaṁ vahāmyaham So, let's break it down word by word. ananyāḥ — undivided, having no other (exclusive, single-pointed) cintayantaḥ — thinking of, contemplating mām — me ye — who janāḥ — people, persons paryupāsate — worship, devote themselves to, meditate upon teṣām — of them nitya-abhi-yuktānām — of those who are constantly engaged/steadfastly devoted yoga-kṣemam — acquisition and preservation (of what is needed; welfare and protection) vahāmi — I carry, I take care of aham — I Or People who devote themselves to me Those people who, thinking of Me alone, worship Me with exclusive devotion, For them, who steadfastly devoted, I take care of their needs and their well-being. This speaks of surrender. To give ourselves to The Divine completely and trust that God will provide. But, will I lose myself, if I am completely absorbed in Krishna? I cannot focus my mind for even fifteen minutes without random thoughts bombarding my peace. Of course. We are human. The mind wanders, the body aches from sitting for hours, and my god this lecture is soo boring.. When we look at yoga-kṣemaṁ, yoga with kṣemaṁ (protection), what it essentially means is whatever is required for Yoga I will provide and I will also protect. These are two assurances of Krishna This is not a free pass to avoid personal effort, but implies a high level of spiritual dedication "always absorbed in me" (ananyah cintayantah) It is not a promise of material accumulation, but rather a guarantee that a devotee’s spiritual and life needs will be met. Krisha tells us to take steps, and not and all-or-nothing approach. As for many of us, total surrender seems like defeat. However, surrender to Krishna is not defeat, it is victory. It is the moment a devotee swaps human strength for divine strength, human plans for God’s will, and earthly worries for Divine Peace.
