🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 8, Verse 11:
यदक्षरं वेदविदो वदन्ति
विशन्ति यद्यतयो वीतरागाः ।
यदिच्छन्तो ब्रह्मचर्यं चरन्ति
तत्ते पदं सङ्ग्रहेण प्रवक्ष्ये ॥ 11॥
yadakṣaraṃ vedavido vadanti
viśanti yadyatayo vītarāgāḥ
yadicchanto brahmacaryaṃ caranti
tatte padaṃ saṅgraheṇa pravakṣye
🔴That which is declared Imperishable by the VEDA -knowers; That into which, the self-controlled and desire-freed enter; That desiring which BRAHMCHARYA is practiced — That Goal I will declare to thee in brief.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 8, Verse 12:
सर्वद्वाराणि संयम्य मनो हृदि निरुध्य च ।
मूर्ध्न्याधायात्मनः प्राणमास्थितो योगधारणाम् ॥ 12॥
sarvadvārāṇi saṃyamya mano hṛdi nirudhya ca
mūrdhnyādhāyātmanaḥ prāṇamāsthito yogadhāraṇām
🔴Having closed all the gates, having confined the mind in the heart, having fixed the life-breath in the head engaged in the practice of concentration,

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 8, Verse 13:
ओमित्येकाक्षरं ब्रह्म व्याहरन्मामनुस्मरन् ।
यः प्रयाति त्यजन्देहं स याति परमां गतिम् ॥ 13॥
omityekākṣaraṃ brahma vyāharanmāmanusmaran
yaḥ prayāti tyajandehaṃ sa yāti paramāṃ gatim
🔴Uttering the one-syllabled OM — the (symbol of) BRAHMAN — and remembering Me, he who departs, leaving the body, attains the Supreme Goal.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 8, Verse 14:
अनन्यचेताः सततं यो मां स्मरति नित्यशः ।
तस्याहं सुलभः पार्थ नित्ययुक्तस्य योगिनः ॥ 14॥
ananyacetāḥ satataṃ yo māṃ smarati nityaśaḥ
tasyāhaṃ sulabhaḥ pārtha nityayuktasya yoginaḥ
🔴I am easily attainable by that ever-steadfast YOGI who constantly remembers Me daily, not thinking of anything else, O Partha.

[siddharthsonawala]

Swamiji Pranaam! Whenever some tough situation arises in life, my “wisdom” evaporates! Afterwards I realise that I just forgot the message given by Shri Krushna! It requires constant vigilance and alertness to guard the mischievous mind, which can be calmed by the seeker’s devotion and Ishwar Krupa! Pranaam!
