Explanation
Take refuge in him alone with your whole being, O Bharata. By his grace you will attain supreme peace and the eternal abode. The Lord who dwells in every heart is not distant, and complete trust in him brings a peace that no outward success can give.
Having said in 18.61 that the Lord dwells in the heart of all beings, Krishna now urges complete refuge in that inner Lord. 'With your whole being' means with mind, speech and action together. Shankara reads it as surrender to the Lord who is the inner self, bringing the peace of liberation. Ramanuja and other Vaishnava teachers see it as a preparation for the explicit call to surrender in 18.66, and the doctrine of śaraṇāgati in Sri Vaishnavism draws heavily on these verses.
भावार्थ
हे भारत, अपने सम्पूर्ण भाव से — मन, वाणी और कर्म से — उसी परमेश्वर की शरण में जाओ। उसकी कृपा से तुम परम शान्ति और सदा रहने वाले शाश्वत धाम को प्राप्त करोगे।
Living it today
When you have done all you can, let go fully rather than half-heartedly — deep peace comes from trusting with your whole self.
