Day Ten Mins in satsang
Video by My Channel
Day 136 of an ongoing Bhagavad Gita series looks at chapter 8, Akshara Brahma yog, the yog of the imperishable Brahman. The session opens with an invocation to the Sadguru. The speaker then sets out the chapter's themes. Our final thought at the moment of death reflects how we have lived. Bhagwan Shri Krishna therefore asks us to remember him constantly while doing our duties. The chapter also covers the nature of Brahman (the tat of tat tvam asi), how thoughts shape character and destiny, meditation together with devotion, and how the temporary differs from the eternal. Its central message is to live wisely now, so that the mind naturally rests in the highest truth. Two verses are recited and explained: verse 7 (remember me at all times and fight) and verse 5 (whoever remembers me at the end attains my being). For students facing exam stress, comparison, distraction and worry about careers, the speaker says the mind goes where it has been trained to go. He compares this to an athlete training the body, and urges study, concentration, noble values and seeing the best in others. For professionals dealing with pressure and work-life imbalance, he points out that Arjuna was told to fight, not to withdraw. The advice is to strive for excellence rather than compete, and to let work become worship. The talk ends with the essence: life is a preparation of the mind, and one should remember "you are Brahman" while doing one's duties with bhakti. It announces chapter 9 for the next day and closes with the Purnamadah shanti mantra.
