Passage 16

On the Gītā: 8.5

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

“Brother-in-law! The final hour is not some distant time. For perishable bodies, every moment, moment by moment, is the end. Whatever one remembers at such a final moment, that becomes conducive to the conditions that follow. That is, it is the foundation of rebirth. He who remembers Me at such a moment attains My very bhāva; that is, he reaches Me Myself. Every effort, every karma, every sādhana of man must be such as to refine the time of death. One must practise sādhana so that at that time holy thought, that is, thought of Praṇava, comes.”

Sri Satchitananda Sai
