Bhagavad Gita – Pearls of Wisdom in Chapter 8

The Indestructible, the Supreme, is Brahman.

What is the self? – Svabhava (one’s own self, the jivatman, the Atman dwelling in the jiva, the Indwelling One) is the adhyatman.

The creative force that brings beings into existence is called karma.


That which underlies all created things is the perishable nature.

That which underlies the gods is the cosmic spirit.

And, Arjuna, in this body I Myself (as the inner witness) am Adhiyagna.

He who casting off the body, goes forth, meditating upon me along, at the hour of death, he attains to my state. There is no doubt about it.

A person who abandons all thought and meditates upon the Supreme Truth at the hour of death reaches the Supreme Truth.

He who departs from the body thinking of Supreme Truth enters the imperishable Brahman.

Therefore at all times think of Supreme Truth and do your Karma. When the mind and understanding are set on Brahman, we go to That.

He whose mind does not wander and is constantly meditating on the Supreme Truth attains the Supreme Truth.
