Bhagavad Geeta 8.6

Sanskrit

यं यं वापि स्मरन्भावं त्यजत्यन्ते कलेवरम्। तं तमेवैति कौन्तेय सदा तद्भावभावितः।।8.6।।

yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran bhāvaṁ tyajatyante kalevaram taṁ tam evaiti kaunteya sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ

Meaning

Your focus shapes your destiny. Leaders who concentrate on excellence, growth, or service naturally become excellent, grow, and serve—while those fixated on obstacles attract them.

Translation

O son of Kunti, thinking of any entity, whichever it may be, one gives up the body at the end; he attains that very one, having been always engrossed in its thought.
