Remembrance

And as I recall again and again that most wondrous form of Hari, O King, I am struck with great awe, and I rejoice again and again.

O King, as I recall again and again this sacred and wondrous dialogue between Keshava and Arjuna, I am filled with joy again and again.

Uttering Om — the single imperishable syllable that is Brahman — and remembering Me as one departs the body, that person reaches the supreme destination.

And whoever, at the final moment, departs from the body while remembering Me alone — that one attains My state. Of this there is no doubt.

For the yogi who remembers Me always, with an undivided mind, ever steadfast — for such a one, O Partha, I am easily attained.

Therefore, remember Me at all times and also fight. With mind and intellect surrendered to Me, you shall come to Me — without a doubt.

Whatever state of being one remembers when laying down the body at life's end — to that state alone one goes, O son of Kunti, for the mind is ever shaped by what it is filled with.

Those who know Me as the governing principle of the physical and divine realms, and of all sacrifice — even at the hour of death, with steadied minds, they know Me.

May the life-breath return to the immortal wind; may this body end in ashes. Om — O will, remember what was done; O will, remember, remember what was done.

Whose mere remembrance dispels all fears, and whose feet are constantly worshipped by the gods.

The Prophet once asked God, 'Who are Your lovers?' The answer came, 'Those who cling to Me like a child to its mother, take refuge in the remembrance of Me like a bird seeking shelter in its nest, and are as fiercely opposed to sin as a fearless lion.'

The world is a curse, and everything in it is a curse, except the remembrance of God and what supports it.

Grief indeed doubles at the sight of its object and the remembrance of that object's actions in life.

The Prophet once asked God, "Lord, who are your lovers?" The answer was, "Those who cling to me like a child to its mother, take refuge in my remembrance like a bird seeking shelter in its nest, and are as angry at the sight of sin as a fearless lion."

The third test of genuine love for God is that the remembrance of God should always be present in one's heart without effort, because what one loves, they remember constantly, and if their love is perfect, they never forget it.

The Prophet said, "The world is a curse, and everything in it is a curse, except the remembrance of God and what assists it."

The fact to always keep in mind is that ultimately, only His Name saves.

This stage is known as continuous remembrance. Here, the devotee rises above narrow loyalties of community, race, country, or religion, seeing the Lord in everyone and everywhere. This is the stage of liberation, free from the bondage of maya.
