Explanation

This is one of the central verses of the Gita. Krishna draws the conclusion: remember me at all times, and fight. With mind and understanding (buddhi) offered to Krishna, Arjuna will surely come to him. The command joins inner remembrance with outer duty. Arjuna is not told to withdraw from the battle to meditate, but to fight while keeping Krishna in mind. The verse expresses the Gita's vision of a spiritual life lived in the midst of action, not in escape from it.
