Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 5-7 from the Eighth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The song of God".

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 8, Verse 5:
अन्तकाले च मामेव स्मरन्मुक्त्वा कलेवरम् ।
यः प्रयाति स मद्भावं याति नास्त्यत्र संशयः || 5||
antakāle ca māmeva smaranmuktvā kalevaram
yaḥ prayāti sa madbhāvaṃ yāti nāstyatra saṃśayaḥ
🔴 And whosoever, leaving the body, goes forth remembering Me alone, at the time of his death, he attains My being; there is no doubt about this.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 8, Verse 6:
यं यं वापि स्मरन्भावं त्यजत्यन्ते कलेवरम् ।
तं तमेवैति कौन्तेय सदा तद्भावभावितः || 6||
yaṃ yaṃ vāpi smaranbhāvaṃ tyajatyante kalevaram
taṃ tamevaiti kaunteya sadā tadbhāvabhāvitaḥ
🔴 Whosoever, at the end, leaves the body, thinking of any being, to that being only he goes, O Kaunteya (O son of Kunti) , because of his constant thought of that being.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 8, Verse 7:
तस्मात्सर्वेषु कालेषु मामनुस्मर युध्य च ।
रागद्वेषविमुक्तैस्तु विषयानिन्द्रियैश्चरन् || 7||
tasmātsarveṣu kāleṣu māmanusmara yudhya ca
mayyarpitamanobuddhirmāmevaiṣyasyasaṃśayaḥ
🔴 Therefore, at all times, remember Me, and fight, with mind and intellect fixed (or absorbed) in Me; you shall doubtless come to Me alone.

ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.

ABOUT US

58:21 to 1:00:44 seems to be particularly important: it highlights how to actually do one's duties without steering away from the highest ideal😌

[oscarbravo]

The translation and transliteration of the second half of verse 7 does not match the Sanskrit. The Sanskrit says:
răgadveshavimuktaistu viṣayānindriyaiscaran
which means
Free yourself from attraction and aversion, go beyond the objects of the senses.
