Srimad Bhagavatam — Ekadasha Skandha, Shloka 26
Yoga-siddhi — The Mystic Perfections and Their Origin in Meditation on the Lord
यथा सङ्कल्पयेद् बुद्ध्या यदा वा मत्पर: पुमान् । मयि सत्ये मनो युञ्जंस्तथा तत् समुपाश्नुते ॥ २६ ॥
yathā saṅkalpayed buddhyā yadā vā mat-paraḥ pumān mayi satye mano yuñjaṁs tathā tat samupāśnute
Le yogī qui s’abandonne à Moi, fixant son mental en Moi, la Vérité, obtient toujours son but par le moyen même qu’il a résolu de suivre.
In this verse the word yadā (“whenever”) indicates that by the mystic power called yathā-saṅkalpa-saṁsiddhi one will achieve one’s objective even if one pursues it at an inauspicious time. Lord Kṛṣṇa is called satya-saṅkalpa, or He whose desire, intention, purpose or resolve always comes to pass.

This verse says that when one is mat-paraḥ (devoted to Krishna) and fixes the mind on Him as the Supreme Truth, the intended result conceived with intelligence is attained.
In this chapter Krishna explains yogic perfections and their source; He emphasizes that the decisive factor is devotion and mind-fixation on Him, from whom all attainments ultimately come.
Set a clear, dharmic intention, then daily anchor the mind in Krishna—through japa, kirtan, prayer, and remembrance—so that effort and inner focus align with the highest truth.
