Verse 8·2

Brahman is the imperishable absolute

Verse

अधियज्ञः कथं कोऽत्र देहेऽस्मिन्मधुसूदन ।प्रयाणकाले च कथं ज्ञेयोऽसि नियतात्मभिः ॥

adhiyajñaḥ kathaṃ ko’tra dehe’sminmadhusūdanaprayāṇakāle ca kathaṃ jñeyo’si niyatātmabhiḥ

What is adhiyajñaḥ in this body, O Madhusudana? And how, in the critical moment of departure from physical existence, art Thou to be known by the self-controlled?

Gītā 8·2

Here we have certain expressions which give us in their brief sum the chief essential truths of the manifestation of the supreme Divine in the cosmos. All the originative and effective aspects of it are there, all that concerns the soul in its return to integral self-knowledge.
