Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 5-7 from the Eighth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The song of God".

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 8, Verse 5:

अन्तकाले च मामेव स्मरन्मुक्त्वा कलेवरम् ।

यः प्रयाति स मद्भावं याति नास्त्यत्र संशयः || 5||

antakāle ca māmeva smaranmuktvā kalevaram

yaḥ prayāti sa madbhāvaṃ yāti nāstyatra saṃśayaḥ

🔴 And whosoever, leaving the body, goes forth remembering Me alone, at the time of his death, he attains My being; there is no doubt about this.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 8, Verse 6:

यं यं वापि स्मरन्भावं त्यजत्यन्ते कलेवरम् ।

तं तमेवैति कौन्तेय सदा तद्भावभावितः || 6||

yaṃ yaṃ vāpi smaranbhāvaṃ tyajatyante kalevaram

taṃ tamevaiti kaunteya sadā tadbhāvabhāvitaḥ

🔴 Whosoever, at the end, leaves the body, thinking of any being, to that being only he goes, O Kaunteya (O son of Kunti) , because of his constant thought of that being.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 8, Verse 7:

तस्मात्सर्वेषु कालेषु मामनुस्मर युध्य च ।

रागद्वेषविमुक्तैस्तु विषयानिन्द्रियैश्चरन् || 7||

tasmātsarveṣu kāleṣu māmanusmara yudhya ca

mayyarpitamanobuddhirmāmevaiṣyasyasaṃśayaḥ

🔴 Therefore, at all times, remember Me, and fight, with mind and intellect fixed (or absorbed) in Me; you shall doubtless come to Me alone.
