SIIRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE
CHAPTER - 8
AKSHARA BRAHMA YOGA
In the earlier chapters the Lord vividly described what is knowledge and wisdom. But these can bear their fruit only if there is complete surrender to the Absolute, which is known as Brahman. He uses some technical words such as “Brahman” “Abhibhuta”, "Abhidaiva” and “Abhiyajna”. Arjuna wonders what they mean, so Lord explains these very shortly, but the purport of the teaching is to concentrate one's mind constantly on the “Absolute Brahama “i.e. the Super Soul, which is never born and which never dies. It is imperishable. If such practice is constantly continued in life even while performing one's worldly duties, one goes on the same way even when the Death over takes him. (Verses 5 to 8).
