Kṛṣṇa says to go beyond duality, the
duality of sin and virtue. This is only
possible when we become aware
जरामरणमोक्षाय मामाश्रित्य यतन्ति ये ।
ते ब्रह्म तद्विदुः कृत्स्नमध्यात्मं कर्म चाखिलम्
॥ ७-२९॥
jarāmaraṇa mokṣāya māmāśritya
yatanti ye te brahma tadviduḥ kṛtsnam
adhyātmaṃ karma cākhilam
Persons who are striving for liberation
from the cycle of birth, old age and
death, take refuge in Me. They are
actually Brahman because they
comprehend everything about
activities that transcend these.
POWERFUL COGNITION
To know that one needs to be saved from this cycle of birth and death needs great wisdom.
साधिभूताधिदैवं मां साधियज्ञं च ये विदुः ।
प्रयाणकालेऽपि च मां ते विदुर्युक्तचेतसः
॥ ७-३०॥
sādhibhūtādhidaivaṃ māṃ
sādhiyajñaṃ ca ye viduḥ prayāṇakāle
'pi ca māṃ te vidur yuktacetasaḥ
Those who know Me as the Supreme
Lord, as the governing principle of
the material manifestation, who
know Me as the one underlying all
the demigods and as the one
sustaining all sacrifices, can with
steadfast mind, understand and
know Me, even at the time of death.
POWERFUL COGNITION
We cannot change our nature at the last minute. If we want to die with the thought of the Divine uppermost in our mind, we must cultivate the habit of remembering Him now.
