The commentators

Bhagavadgītābhāṣyam· bhāṣya

तमेव ईश्वरं शरणम् आश्रयं संसारार्तिहरणार्थं गच्छ आश्रय सर्वभावेन सर्वात्मना हे भारत । ततः तत्प्रसादात् ईश्वरानुग्रहात् परां प्रकृष्टां शान्तिम् उपरतिं स्थानं च मम विष्णोः परमं पदं प्राप्स्यसि शाश्वतं नित्यम् ॥ ६२ ॥

In plain words

Go to him alone — the Lord — as your refuge, your shelter, so that the pain of saṃsāra is carried away. Go, that is, take shelter, with all your being: with your whole self, Bhārata. Then — from that, meaning from his grace, from the Lord's favour — you will reach the highest peace, the coming to rest, and the abode that is mine, Viṣṇu's, the supreme state: everlasting, which is to say, without end.
