खण्डः-i

Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa said :
तस्मात्सर्वेषु कालेषु मामनुस्मर युध्य च।
मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्मामेवैष्यस्यसंशयम्।।

'Therefore at all times, constantly remember Me & Fight.
With the Mind & Intellect absorbed in Me,
You shall doubtless come to Me.'
(1/13)

#ĐGītāUvāca

तस्मात् 'therefore';
सर्वेषु कालेषु, at all times;
मामनुस्मर, think of me;
अनु, means Continuously;
मामस्मर, 'think of Me'.
I am the Self behind your own little self,
I am the Infinite One,
I am that Akṣara Puruṣa, that Imperishable Reality hidden within You.

So,
तस्मात्सर्वेषु कालेषु मामनुस्मर युध्य च।
& carry on the battle of Life!'
These two will have to go together. Thinking of the Divine, carrying on the battle of Life.

You are active in Life;
You have got plenty of work to do;
that cannot be an excuse for not remembering

the Divine.
Remember,
The Divine is Within You.
He is the Self of your Self.
He is the Inner self of all Beings.
That Divine Consciousness must be there at least a little bit in everyone;
along with it, There must be the hard work going on in this World,

the Struggle, the Endeavour, that wonderful 'Battle of Life'!
युध्य च
So, this is a very important exhortation in The Gītā :
मामनुस्मर युध्य च।
'Meditate upon Me & carry on the battle of Life'.
That is the language.

अनुस्मर, 'continuous remembrance';
स्मरणम्, is 'remembering'.

Like Oil poured from one vessel to another; that oil flows in a continuous stream.
That is the example given by our spiritual teachers to have an understanding of this अनुस्मरणम्;
Đ Mind flows towards the Divine continuously.

A portion of the Mind is always devoted

to this Consciousness.
Śrī Rāma Krishna Paramāhamsa gave the example of a person suffering from Toothache.
Such a person is busy with the day-to-day Work,
But a part of his or her Mind is always on that Ailing tooth.
Similarly,
मामनुस्मर युध्य च।
'Meditate upon Me & carry on

the battle of Life'.
They are not opposed to each other. They can be carried on together.
That is the Special message of The Gītā.
That is why it is a message for all people.
We are all working people.

In the midst of Work can we Realize the Divine?

Yes, We can.

The Divine is our own Nature
Realizing Him is our Birthright.
Everybody can Realize Him.
That is how the Supreme Divinity has been presented in The Gītā.

मनो बुद्धि र्मामेवैष्यस्यसंशय।
'one whose Mind is fixed on Me, whose Buddhi is fixed on Me',

मय्यर्पित र्मामेवैष्यस्यसं, 'reach Me only';
न संशय, 'there is no doubt on this question'.
As your thoughts are, so will your Life be.
Thought very much modifies Life, influences Life;
It is a Great Truth,
&
In this case, it is Perfectly True.

Thinking of the Divine,
we become Divine.
As Śrī Rāma Krishna Paramāhamsa said,
'One who always thinks that he or she is a Sinner, He or She will become a Sinner;
One who thinks that He or She is a child of the Divine, such a one will become Divine.'

Mind plays a great part in building up your Life one way or the other. You go on suggesting to Yourself,
'I am Sick, I am Sick', & one day you will fall Sick,
because you are suggesting that to Yourself.

Mind has the great Power to shape our Destiny.

Therefore,
Never think of Negative thoughts;
take always to Positive thoughts.
&
Đ Greatest Positive thought is of the Divine hidden in d Heart of all,
Đ Imperishable in the midst of d Perishable.
